Hard Drive. The printer is made up of eight major subsystems, which are described in this section:. The Process Drive: Transmits torque to two camshafts. The Media Drive: Controls each roller in the media transport path. The Media Drive consists of a drive motor, a gearbox, two clutches, and a solenoid.

The Media Drive motor also controls the movement of the Wiper Blade and headlock mechanism through a gear train and solenoid on the Exit Module. The Ink Loader: Stores and melts the ink. The melted ink drops into the Printhead ink reservoirs underneath the ink loader. The Printhead: Delivers ink onto the drum surface to create an image. The Printhead includes interleaved jets of each primary color to provide the ability to electronically turn off a weak or missing jet to restore image quality.

The Drum Maintenance Kit: Creates a thin layer of silicone oil on the surface of the Drum prior to printing. The Purge System: Uses air pressure and a wiper blade to remove any debris or air bubbles that may be obstructing the Printhead nozzles.

The image is first printed as a "mirror" image on the rotating Drum. A sheet of warmed media feeds from the Preheater and passes between the Drum and the Transfix Roller. The Process Drive gear train then loads the Transfix Module and presses the media to the Drum to adhere the image as the Drum spins in the transfix direction.

The Electronics System: includes the Electronics Module also known as the E- can ; which contains the main board, the image processor board, the power control board, and the power supply board. A small DC servomotor powers the Process Drive gearbox to rotate the gears to specific positions during the printing process. The Process Drive is able to actuate each camshaft system independently through the use of the swing arm in the gear train.

The rotational direction of the motor controls the operation of the transfix and drum maintenance system. When the process motor rotates in one direction, the swing gear engages the lower gears. When the motor rotates in the opposite direction, the upper gears are engaged.

Since the system is open loop, special attention to the home position of the process drive gears and the mating camshaft gears is critical. The Process Drive gearbox is mechanically keyed upon installation via gear orientations. These gear orientations allow the printer subsystems to self-home during operation. If either the gearbox or cam gears is out of home during installation, the printer does not function properly. The Media Drive assembly drives each roller in the media transport path.

A gear train located behind the motor connects it to the Exit Rollers, which are built into the Exit Module. Gear trains located within the Media Drive, along with two clutches and a solenoid, allow the motor to control the Pick, Take Away, Duplex, and Deskew rollers. A unique swing gear allows the Pick Roller and Take Away Roller to rotate in the same direction regardless of the direction the motor is rotating. The Ink Loader consists of four parallel channels with an ink melting element at the end of each channel.

Coil springs exert pressure on four ink sticks to load one unique color in each channel. When the Printhead requires ink, the melting element of the appropriate color melts the end of the ink stick.

The melted ink drips into the Printhead ink reservoirs. Sensors in the Ink Loader alert the customer to install more ink sticks before the printer completely consumes the current sticks. The Phaser features a single Ink-Out sensor, which activates when there is no ink stick in any of the four ink channels. This condition activates the sensor flag. Each sensor determines if the individual channel is empty.

The sensors also determine the count of the ink sticks as they pass by the Ink-Out sensor flag. The Printhead is the heart of the printer, spanning nearly the length of the drum. Using its jet nozzles jets for each primary color , with a horizontal motion of slightly less than 5 mm 0. The Printhead provides one size ink drop, which is used for all print-quality modes.

Purge Tube. Channels formed by the stacked plates route ink past the individual, piezo-electric crystal-driven diaphragms, which force the ink in droplets out the corresponding nozzles. During the printing process, the Printhead would only have to travel approximately 14 pixels horizontally to provide complete coverage. However, the Printhead travels much further, depending on print resolution, to interlace each jet with the output of neighboring jets. The jet array bonds to a cast aluminum ink reservoir, which supplies the molten ink to the jet array.

Heaters in the reservoir and the jet array maintain the ink at a printing temperature of about 60 degrees centigrade. X-Axis or lateral movement of the Printhead is accomplished using a stepper motor driving a fine-thread screw system.

The Printhead, mounted to the X- Axis shaft, moves laterally across the surface of the drum. To find the Printhead home position, the X-Axis system drives the Printhead in an open-loop. The Printhead is driven against the left printer frame for a few seconds, and then reversed a set distance. Standby position Print position 0 degrees : The Printhead is forward and resting against the right and left head-to-drum buttons. The head-to-drum buttons define the space between the jet stack and the drum.

The tilt cam tilts the head into the basic four positions listed above. The cam has five special features and associated functions:. The cam is combined with a missing tooth gear that allows the cam to be inactive in the print position, which frees the process drive to perform other printer operations. The cam has a latching feature to unlatch and latch the missing tooth gear to engage the Printhead tilt drive train.

The cam profile has a standby dwell the portion of the cam that has a constant radius , that holds the Printhead back in the standby position. The cam profile has a wipe dwell the holds the Printhead back in the wipe position.

The cam profile increases the power consumption at a specific phase of rotation. This allows the software to identify a power consumption footprint that alerts the printer to a fault when the head is locked in error. The Printhead is tilted away from the drum and locked for shipping. The Printhead is locked if the head lock indicator is above the level of the output tray.

When the Printhead is locked in the shipping position there are three key restraining elements:. The Printhead is restrained from rotating from the shipping position by pins extending from both ends of the Printhead into a pocket.

These pockets are defined by dampening pads that limit motion to the lockarms that pivot into the lock position, limiting forward motion toward the drum. The wiper carriage holds the locks in the lock position, which are normally spring-loaded in the unlocked position. The Printhead is restrained at the X-Axis shafts by the right and left head restraints that limit motion at both ends of the Printhead.

The Printhead is limited to the nominal motion of 1. In the print position 0 degrees , the Printhead is forward and rests against the right and left head-to-drum buttons. When the Process Drive is activated, it drives the Drum Maintenance Camshaft to engage the tilt gear train. The tilt cam tilts the Printhead into the print position. The cam is combined with a missing tooth gear that allows the cam to be inactive in the print position, freeing the Process Drive to perform other printer operations.

The cam has a latching mechanism to unlatch and latch the missing tooth gear to engage the Printhead tilt drive train. A leaf spring applies constant pressure to engage the gear when the latching mechanism is released. The arm of the latching mechanism is inside the frame; the rest is visible, outside the frame. Arrows located on the latching mechanism and on the frame indicate when the Printhead is in print position. When the arrows on the latching mechanism and frame align, the Printhead is in the print position and the tilt gear disengages from the Process Drive.

The latching mechanism is actuated by a small movement of the wiper coupled with the Head Tilt Solenoid. The action of the solenoid ensures that the Head Tilt Gear engages the tilt drive gear. Through a follower gear, the compound gear drives the tilt cam gear clockwise. A cam follower, mounted on the lower end of the tilt arm, follows the rotating tilt cam gear and tilts the Printhead. As viewed from the left side of the printer, when the arrows are not aligned, the tilt gear is engaged.

To accommodate Printhead maintenance, the Printhead is tilted back away from the Drum. You agree to meet all requirements necessary to ensure that the Federal Government will honor such rights.
