KX-MB283BR 11.2.22.2. TROUBLESHOOTING FLOW CHART 11.2.22.3. BROKEN PARTS REPAIR DETAILS (D10~D13) Check for a short-circuit in terminal 4. If D10~D13 is short-circuit, F2 will melt (open). In this case, replace all of the parts (D10 - D13, F2). (D101) If D101 is broken, the oscillation circuit in the power supply cannot operate. Check it with an electric tester.

Open the ADF cover (1) while holding the document cover (2). Clean the document feeder rollers (3) with a cloth moistened with iso- propyl rubbing alcohol, and let all parts dry thoroughly.
KX-MB283BR 14.3. PRINTING OPERATION PRINCIPLE 14.3.1. PROCESS CHART AND PROCESS BIAS 14.3.2. CHARGING Charging is the stage that keeps the surface of the sensitive drum a fixed electric potential. The sensitive drum is the Organic Photo Conductor (OPC), which is a electric conductive cylinder whose surface is covered with the Charge Generation Transfer Layer (CGTL).
Page 186
KX-MB283BR 14.3.3. 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.
Page 187
KX-MB283BR 14.3.5. 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 unit consists of mixing paddle, toner supply roller, developing roller, developing blade, charge wire, grid plate and OPC drum. The bias voltage is added to the developing roller and toner supply roller.
Page 188
KX-MB283BR 14.3.6. 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.
Page 189
KX-MB283BR 14.3.7. 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.
KX-MB283BR 14.5. 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.
Page 193
KX-MB283BR 14.5.3. 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.
KX-MB283BR 14.6. 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.
