UF-5500 / 4500 11 Troubleshooting Guide 11.1. Starting Troubleshooting 11.1.1. Outline Troubleshooting is for recovering quality and reliability by determining the broken component and replacing, adjusting or cleaning it as required. First, determine the problem then decide the troubleshooting method. If you have difficulty finding the broken part, determine which board is broken.
UF-5500 / 4500 11.1.2. Improper LCD Display START Check connectors: CN511 (MAIN PCB) and CN2 (OPERATION PCB). When pressing any key, do you hear the 'Pi-' sound from the Speaker? Does CN511, pin 6 and pin 7 on the MAIN PCB measure +5VDC? Replace the OPERATION PCB.
UF-5500 / 4500 11.2. Troubleshooting Details 11.2.1. Initialization There are two types of initialization, one is the short initialization (about 3 seconds) and the other is the long initialization (about 10 seconds). The short initialization makes the unit enter the standby mode. The long initialization makes the unit enter the standby mode after cleaning or detecting the rest of toner.

UF-5500 / 4500 13.2.3. Exposing When the drum which is charged with the fixed electric charge is irradiated by the laser beam, the plus charge and minus charge are generated at the Charge Generation Transfer Layer. Passing through the Charge Generation Transfer Layer which conducts the minus charge, the plus-charged drum's surface is neutralized to be skipped.
UF-5500 / 4500 13.2.4. Developing and Transcription The developing is the stage that the OPC drum with an invisible image is changed to visible by the toner. The drum cartridge con- sists of mixing paddle, toner supply roller, developing roller, developing blade, charge wire, grid plate and OPC drum. The bias volt- age is added to the developing roller and toner supply roller.
UF-5500 / 4500 13.2.5. Cleaning of Transfer Roller The toner attached to the surface of the OPC drum is transferred to the paper at the transcription stage, but a part of the toner remains. The cleaning is the stage that cleans the remain toner after the transcription stage. The remain toner on the drum and the toner which was attached to the place where the laser beam didn't scan are gathered to the developing roller to be used again.
UF-5500 / 4500 13.2.6. Fixing On the process of the transfer, the transferred toner is weakly attached on the paper. Fixing means the process to fix the toner on the paper permanently. The fixing part melts the toner at the high temperature using the halogen heater. The toner is fixed on the paper by the heat and pressure through the fixing part with the image.
UF-5500 / 4500 13.3. How to Replace the Flat Package IC Even if you do not have the special tools (for example, a spot heater) to remove the Flat IC, with some solder (large amount), a soldering iron and a cutter knife, you can easily remove the ICs that have more than 100 pins.
UF-5500 / 4500 13.3.3. Flat Package IC Installation Procedure 1. Temporarily fix the FLAT PACKAGE IC, soldering the two marked pins. *Check the accuracy of the IC setting with the corresponding soldering foil. 2. Apply flux to all pins of the FLAT PACKAGE IC.
UF-5500 / 4500 13.4. Main Board Section When the unit fails to boot up the system, take the troubleshooting procedures very carefully. It may have a serious problem. The symptom: No response when the power is turned on. (No LCD display, and keys are not accepted.) The first step is to check the power source.
UF-5500 / 4500 13.4.1. NG Example Short circuit from the adjacent signal wires. Check for a short circuit in the RA and IC leads and the signal wire at the through hole. Solder waste Solder ball Through hole Short between the signal line and GND.
