II - 2 1. 2 Main Drive The power necessary for driving the printer is supplied by the main motor, the paper feed motor and the scanner motor. The main motor is controlled by the main motor drive signal (MDRIVE) output from the main PCB, and the paper feed motor is controlled by the paper feed motor drive signal output from the main PCB, and the sca ...

II - 4 2. LASER/SCANNER SYSTEM In response to the print signal transmitted from the external device, the main PCB generates the drive signals (DATA,VOFF) for the laser diode and sends the signals to the scanner unit. The laser diode in the scanner unit generates a laser beam modulated by DATA. The modulated laser beam is aligned into a parallel bea ...

II - 5 3. IMAGE FORMA TION SYSTEM 3.1 Outline The image formation system is the main part of the printer. The print information, after input from the video controller circuit into the engine controller circuit as a TVDO signal, forms a toner image on the photosensitive drum. Then the toner image is transferred onto the paper by the transfer chargin ...

Brother HL-1260 - page 23

II - 7 Step 1 Primary charge As preparation for latent image formation, a uniform negative potential is applied to the photosensitive drum surface. The printer uses the charging method that directly charges the drum for the primary charge. The primary charging roller consists of conductive rubber. In addition to DC bias, AC bias is applied to the p ...
Brother HL-1260 - page 24

II - 8 3.2.2 Developing stage Development places particles of toner onto the areas of the drum that have been cleared of charge by the laser beam. This makes a visible image. This printer uses the toner projection development method with a single-component toner. Blade Stirrer Developing cylinder Cylinder Magnet DC bias AC bias Photo- sensitive dru ...
Brother HL-1260 - page 25

II - 9 A positive charge applied to the back of the paper attracts the negatively charged toner particles to the paper. The printer accomplishes transfer by using the charging roller method. Advantages compared with the corona transfer method are as follows: • Low transfer voltage that is less than half that for corona transfer. • Less ozone ge ...
Brother HL-1260 - page 26

II - 10 3.2.4 Fixing stage The toner image transferred to the paper in the transfer stage is held only by electrostatic attraction and slight physical adhesion, so even a light touch will smear the image. In the fixing stage, the toner image is fixed by heating the paper and applying pressure. This fuses the toner particles to the paper to make a p ...
Brother HL-1260 - page 27

II - 11 3.3 Operation When the engine controller circuit receives a print signal (PRINT) or a pre-feed signal (PRFD) from the video controller circuit, the engine controller circuit drives the main motor to rotate the photosensitive drum. After the drum surface is charged negatively by the primary charge roller, the laser beam modulated by a DATA s ...

P APER PICK-UP/FEED SYSTEM 4.1 Outline If a tray1 paper pick-up roller solenoid drive signal (PUCL1) is input to the circuit while the paper feed motor is rotating, the paper pick-up solenoid comes on and the paper pick-up roller solenoid is engaged. As a result, the paper pick-up roller rotates to feed paper down to the photosensitive d ...

II - 15 4.4 Paper Jam Detection The printer has a registration sensor and a paper eject sensor at the paper outlet to detect whether the printed paper has been fed correctly. A paper jam is detected by whether the paper is present at the sensor at the check periods programmed in the engine CPU memory. If the engine CPU detects a paper jam, the main ...
