2. Detailed Descriptions Main Mechanisms Tray and Stapler Junction Gate Depending on the finishing mode, the copies are directed up, straight through, or down by the combinations of open and closed junction gates.
Main Mechanisms Selected Operation Mode Solenoid/Gate Upper Tray Sort/Stack Staple Stapler junction gate solenoid Stapler junction gate Closed Closed OPEN Tray junction gate solenoid Tray junction gate OPEN Closed Closed Paper Pre-Stacking • This mechanism improves productivity in staple mode. It is only used when copying on A4, LT, or B5 (all LEF).
2. Detailed Descriptions • The pre-stack paper stopper is released about 40 mm after the 2nd sheet turns on the pre-stack stopper sensor [F], and the two sheets of copy paper are sent to the stapler tray. All sheets after the 2nd sheet go to the stapler tray via the paper guide [E].
2. Detailed Descriptions Stapling Stapler Unit Movement Side-to-Side • The stapler motor [A] moves the stapler [B] from side to side. After the start key is pressed, the stapler moves from its home position to the stapling position. • If two-staple-position mode is selected, for the first stack the stapler moves to the rear stapling position first, staples, moves to the front position, staples and waits at the front.
Page 59
Stapling Rotation (2) When the staple end condition arises, the stapler motor moves the stapler to the front and the stapler rotation motor rotates the stapler unit to clockwise to remove the staple cartridge [A]. This allows the user to add new staples. Once the staples have been installed, and the front door closed, the stapler unit returns to its home position.
2. Detailed Descriptions Stapler When the aligned copies are brought to the stapling position by the positioning roller and jogger fences, the staple hammer motor [A] starts stapling. During stapling, the stapler trims off the excess length [B] of the staples by lowering the cutter [C].
Page 61
Stapling This excess length depends on the number of copies in the set; there will be very little for a stack containing 100 sheets. The staple waste drops into the tray [A] in the stapler. When the stapler unit returns to its home position, the tray hits the shaft [B] and the tray opens.
Page 62
2. Detailed Descriptions The stapler has a staple end sensor [A], cartridge set sensor [B] and staple hammer HP sensor [C].
Page 63
Stapling When a staple end or no cartridge condition is detected, a message is displayed advising the operator to install a staple cartridge. If this condition is detected during a copy job, the indication will appear, and the copy job will stop. The staple cartridge has a clinch area [A] where jammed staples collect.
2. Detailed Descriptions Feed Out • After the copies have been stapled, the stack feed-out motor [A] starts. • The pawl [B] on the stack feed-out belt [C] transports the set of stapled copies up and feeds it to the shift tray exit roller [D].
Stapling Stapling Z-Folded Paper *c6020 Here is the operation sequence for jogging and stapling Z-folded sheets: The lower jogger fence lifts to receive the Z-folded sheets. The top fence moves down, to the horizontal position. A sheet of paper goes into the stapler tray. The positioning roller turns when each sheet is fed to the stapler tray.
2. Detailed Descriptions Stack Output Paper Exit and Stacking • The stacking roller assembly [A] is fastened to a plate [B] on a shaft by a spring [C]. The cam [D], in contact with the bottom of the plate, is connected to the stacking roller drag motor [E] via a timing belt.
Stack Output Shift Tray Overview • The shift tray lift motor [A] controls the vertical position of the shift tray [B] through gears and timing belts [C]. • After the main switch is turned on, or when the stack is removed from the tray, the end of the feeler on the tray falls and its actuator [D] rotates up into staple mode HP sensor 2 [E] (S7) and switches it •...
Page 68
2. Detailed Descriptions • The shift tray moves to home position, which is when the actuator [F] has just exited the shift mode home position sensor [G] (S12). • During feed-out, the tray is lowered automatically at prescribed intervals; sensor [D] (S7) is ignored.
Stack Output Shift Tray Lower Limit Detection • This machine has two shift tray lower limit sensors: shift lower limit sensor [A] (S9) for large paper (B4 and larger) and shift lower limit sensor [B] (S11) for small paper (smaller than B4). (Sensor [C] (S10) is not used.) •...
2. Detailed Descriptions • The next set of copies is then delivered. The motor turns on, repeating the same process and moving the tray back to the previous position. Jam Conditions 1. The entrance sensor does not turn on when the copier has fed paper 426 mm after the copier exit sensor turned off.
Punch Unit B531 (Option) Punch Unit B531 (Option) Punch Unit Drive The punch unit makes 2 or 3 holes at the trailing edge of the paper. The number of holes depends on a selection made on the operation panel. • The cam [A] has 2 punches on one side and 3 punches on the other, and is turned by the punch motor [B].
2. Detailed Descriptions Punch Waste Collection Punch waste is collected in the punch waste hopper [A] positioned under the punch unit. • When the level of the punch waste in the hopper rises as far as the hole [B] in the hopper, the punch waste sensor [C] turns on, stops the job, and triggers a messageto indicate that the hopper is full and must be removed and emptied.

2. Detailed Descriptions • At the end of the job, the jogger fence lift motor [F] switches on and raises the fences until the actuator [G] leaves the slot of the shift jogger fence lift HP sensor [H] and shuts off the shift jogger fence lift motor.
