Table 7-201
The following fans are controlled to two different speeds: full rotation and half
rotation. As shown in Figure 7-202, each circuit is switched b24 and +12V
voltages by the CPU on the DC controller PCB.
• Exhaust fan (FM2)
• Feeding fan (FM6)
• Cleaner fan (FM7)
• Scanner cooling fan (FM8)
When the FMFLL signal from the CPU goes ‘1’, +24 V will be supplied so that the fan
rotates at full speed; when the FMHLF signal goes ‘1’, on the other hand, +12 V will be
supplied so that the fan rotates at half speed.

Function
Discharges exhaust from each fan
to the outside of the machine.
Prevents increases in temperature
inside the machine caused by the
fixing heater. Exhausts silicone oil
vapors.
Draws toner astray near the
developing assembly.
Keeps copy paper close to the
feeding belt.
Prevents increases in temperature
inside the machine.
Cooling the scanner, cooling the
primary charging assembly.
