SM 6-61 B230/B237/D042 Detailed Descriptions 6.10.9 TRAY LOCK MECHANISM This machine has two types of tray lock mechanism. Tray Lock at the Front The lock at the front prevents the tray from coming out of the machine during transporting or shipping. When you pull the handle [A], the lock lever [B] is lowered. As a result, you can pull out the tray. Tray Lock at the Rear This mechanism is only activa ted when the machine detects a paper jam. The lock at the rear prevents the tray from...

B230/B237/D042 6-62 SM The lock lever [B] locks tray 1 [C] and tray 2 [D]. 6.10.10 PAPER DUST COLLECTION The two mylars [A] scrape the paper dust from the registration idle roller [B]. The paper dust falls down into the paper dust container [C]. 6.10.11 BY-PASS PAPER SEPARATION When the paper set sensor detects paper and the machine gets a by-pass printing job, the by-pass solenoid [A] unlocks the feed shaft stopper at the front end of the by-pass feed shaft [B]. The by-pass feed...

SM 6-63 B230/B237/D042 Detailed Descriptions The by-pass tray has the separation pad sy stem. The by-pass feed roller and separation pad [F] feed the top sheet of paper stack. 6.10.12 BY-PASS PAPER SIZE DETECTION There are two paper side plates [A] on the by-p ass tray. These connect with the paper size sensor [B] through a rack-and-pinion mechanism.

SM 6-65 B230/B237/D042 Detailed Descriptions ƒ Temperature is normally controlled by turning the fusing lamps on and off. ƒ The lubricant roller supplies a small amount of oil to the pressure roller through the cleaning roller. An oil supply unit is not nec essary because the amount of oil supplied to the pressure roller is small. 6.11.2 FUSING UNIT DRIVE Belt and Rollers The fusing/paper exit motor drives the pressu re roller [A] and the fusing roller [B] through the gear train,...

B230/B237/D042 6-66 SM 6.11.3 PRESSURE RELEASE MECHANISM The pressure levers [A] put the proper pressu re to the nip between the pressure roller [B] and fusing belt [C]. When releasing these levers , the pressure roller moves away from the fusing belt. If a paper jam occurs in the fusi ng unit, releasing these levers make jammed paper easily removed. 6.11.4 FUSING TEMP ERATURE CONTROL Components [A]: Thermostat [B]: Thermopile [C]: Thermostat

The lamp stays on until the thermistor detects the st andby temperature. Then the CPU raises the temperature to the printing temperature. The fusing temperature for each mode is as follows. These are set by SP 1105. Mode...

This machine has the following tw o types of energy saver modes: 1. Panel-off mode 2. Auto Off mode These modes are controlled by the following UP and SP modes: ƒ Panel off timer: User Tools – System Settings – Timer Setting – Panel Off Timer ƒ Auto off timer: User Tools – System Settings – Timer...
