6 Paper exit sensor POD1 Detects paper discharged from the fusing section.

(4) Operational descriptions c. Fusing operation

a. Fusing unit drive Color toner of YMCK on paper is heated and pressed by the heat roll-
ers to be fused on paper.
To drive the fusing unit, drive power is transmitted from the drive motor
(FUSM) through the connection gear to the upper heat roller gear. At that time, color toner of YMCK is mixed to reproduce nearly actual
colors of document images.
The drive motor (stepping motor) is driven by the motor drive IC in the
driver PWB according to the control signal sent from the PCU.

Driver
PCU FUSM
PWB

b. Heater lamp drive

The surface temperature detected by the thermistor is sent to the PCU.
When the temperature is lower than the specified level, the PCU sends
the heater lamp lighting signal to the heater lamp drive circuit in the DC
power PWB.
The triac in the heater lamp drive circuit is turned on to apply AC power
to the heater lamp, which turns on to heat the heat rollers.
The thermostats are provided as a safety measure to prevent against
an abnormally high temperature of the heat rollers.
When the thermostat is opened, the power supply (AC neutral) to the The upper and the lower heat rollers are provided to heat from above
heater lamp is cut off. and below. This is because it is necessary to heat four layers of toner
from above and below and right and left to fuse it on paper.
The upper and lower heat rollers are of silicon rubber. This is because
of the following reasons:
1) To provide a greater nip quantity and a higher heating capacity for
paper.
2) The soft, flexible rollers press multi-layer toner without deformation
to fuse on paper.
3) An even pressure is applied to an uneven surface of multi-layer
toner.

AR-C260P DESCRIPTIONS OF EACH SECTION 7 - 2

d. Fusing temperature control
The temperature sensor is provided at the center of the upper and the
lower heat rollers.
The temperature sensor at the center detects the heat roller tempera-
ture and controls the heater lamp to keep the fusing temperature at the
specified level.
The fusing temperature is switched according to the machine condition
and paper type selected.

When LED light is radiated onto the OPC drum CGL, positive and
negative charges are generated. Positive charges generated in the
CGL are attracted and moved by negative charges of the OPC
drum, and negative charges by positive charges of the aluminum
layer of the OPC drum. Therefore, on the OPC drum surface and in
the aluminum layer, positive and negative charges are neutralized,
reducing the OPC drum surface potential.
Electric charges remain in the areas where LED light is not radi-
ated onto the OPC drum.
As a result, electrostatic latent images are formed on the OPC
drum surface.
Charges are disposed in direct proportion to the amount of light
received.

or the 2-stage duplex paper feed cassette module (AR-D19) can be
installed.
The paper transport section transports paper from each paper feed
port to the PS roller section.
Paper with images transferred on it in the transfer section is passed to
the fusing section, and discharged to the face-up tray or the face-down
tray.

 ADJ 2 Image density sensor adjustment
The image density sensor sections are of uneven quality in parts and
assembly. This causes variations in the absolute detection level
between machines. This adjustment (calibration) is performed to cor-
rect the variations.
This adjustment is required in the following cases:
• When the image density sensor is replaced.
• When the transfer unit is replaced.
• When maintenance is performed.
• When U2 trouble occurs.
• When the PCU PWB is replaced.
• When the EEPROM on the PCU PWB is repalced.
The targets of the adjustment are the color image density sensor and
the black image density sensor. There are following adjustment meth-
ods:
• Color image density sensor adjustment (adjustment by the adjust-
ment jig) SIM44-13
• Black image sensity sensor adjustment SIM44-2
• Image density sensor adjustment (The color image density sensor
and the black image density sensor are adjusted at the same time.)
(Simple adjustment) SIM44-36
Normally the following adjustments are executed:
• ADJ 2A Color image density sensor adjustment (adjustment by the
adjustment jig) (SIM44-13)
• ADJ 2B Black image density sensor adjustment (SIM44-2)
Note:
There are two methods to adjust the color image density sensor; one
method uses the adjustment jig, and the other method does not use it.
If there is no adjustment jig available, the simple adjustment (SIM44-
36) can be made, which may, however, result in insufficient adjustment
accuracy depending on the machine condition.
If toner, the OPC drum, and the transfer belt are not new ones or
almost new ones, the simple adjustment is not recommended.
Even though the machine conditions are well, the adjustment by use of
the adjustment jig gives a higher adjustment accuracy than the adjust-
ment without the adjustment jig (simple adjustment).
Also note that SIM44-36 must not executed unnecessarily after execu-
tion of the color image density sensor adjustment (adjustment by the

(1) How to read the fine adjustment pattern
The highest-density area of the color is regarded as the center and as the reading value of the shift amount.
(The reading value in the figure below is 4.)
(2) How to read the rough adjustment pattern
Judge the polarity by checking that the color line is shifted to the positive or the negative side.
The scales are made with the black line at the center as 0, the first mark as 20, the second mark as 40, and the third mark as 60.
The interval between rough adjustment marks is 20.
(For an example shown in the figure below, it is between 20 and 40 on the positive side. Therefore, the reading value is 20.)

As the printer is used, ambient conditions and the depletion of consum-
ables (the toner cartridge and drum cartridge) can gradually cause
changes to occur in the four color components of color images, cyan,
ma-genta, yellow, and black. This results in deviations in the color bal-

highlighted. If the above procedure is completed normally, the period of time. Ambient conditions (temperature and humidity) and the
above data are stored and "COMPLETE" is displayed. number of times the printer is used can have a large effect on color
devia-tion.
The printer has two color adjustment functions for the purpose of cor-
recting deviations in the color balance.
These functions are executed from the key operator programs.

AR-C260P SETTING AND ADJUSTMENTS 8 - 17

3. Execution conditions
Be sure to perform this adjustment when consumable part is replaced.
For execution of this adjustment, the print engine section must be in
the normal condition. (All the adjustment items related to the print
engine section must have been adjusted properly.)

4. Color balance adjustment mode

The printer has the following two color balance adjustment functions:
(1) Color balance adjustment
This function is used to adjust each of the density levels (low, mid, and
high) of the four color components, cyan, magenta, yellow and black.
Use this mode when the color deviation is large.
(2) Easy calibration (Gray balance adjustment)
This mode is used for fine adjustment of the gray balance at the mid
density level of the colors cyan, magenta, and yellow. 6. Adjustment details
Use this mode to correct minor color deviations.

LEAD-FREE SOLDER
The PWB’s of this model employs lead-free solder. The “LF” marks indicated on the PWB’s and the Service Manual mean “Lead-Free” solder.
The alphabet following the LF mark shows the kind of lead-free solder.

Example:

<Solder composition code of lead-free solder>

(1) NOTE FOR THE USE OF LEAD-FREE SOLDER THREAD

When repairing a lead-free solder PWB, use lead-free solder thread.
Never use conventional lead solder thread, which may cause a breakdown or an accident.
Since the melting point of lead-free solder thread is about 40°C higher than that of conventional lead solder thread, the use of the exclusive-use
soldering iron is recommendable.

(2) NOTE FOR SOLDERING WORK

Since the melting point of lead-free solder is about 220°C, which is about 40°C higher than that of conventional lead solder, and its soldering capacity is
inferior to conventional one, it is apt to keep the soldering iron in contact with the PWB for longer time. This may cause land separation or may exceed
the heat-resistive temperature of components. Use enough care to separate the soldering iron from the PWB when completion of soldering is
confirmed.
Since lead-free solder includes a greater quantity of tin, the iron tip may corrode easily. Turn ON/OFF the soldering iron power frequently.
If different-kind solder remains on the soldering iron tip, it is melted together with lead-free solder. To avoid this, clean the soldering iron tip after
completion of soldering work.
If the soldering iron tip is discolored black during soldering work, clean and file the tip with steel wool or a fine filer.
