b. Punching Operation
The hole puncher is driven by the punch motor (FPNM). The home
position for the hole puncher is detected by the punch home posi-
tion sensor (FPHPD).
The punch unit comes in four types, selected to suit the country of
installation: 2-hole (Punch Unit-J1), 2- and 3-hole (Punch Unit-K1),
or two types of 4-hole (Punch Unit-G1, Punch Unit-H1).
The 2-hole and 4-hole types punch a hole when the punch shaft is
rotated 180° from the home position, causing the punch to make a
single round trip. The 2-/3-hole type punches a hole, but the cir-
cumference of the punch shaft is divided into two (half for 2-hole
and the other half for 3-hole).
1)
2-Hole, 4-Hole Type
The home position is identified when the punch home position
sensor (FPHPD) is ON. The punching operation for the first
sheet ends when the punch shaft has rotated 180° and the
punch home position sensor (FPHPD) goes ON; the punching
operation for the second sheet ends when the punch shaft has
rotated 180° in reverse and the punch home position sensor
(FPHPD) goes ON.

2-/3-Hole Type
The home position is identified when the punch home position
sensor (FPHPD) is ON. To make two holes, the punching oper-
ation for the first sheet ends when the punch shaft rotates 180°
(half circumference) and the punch home position sensor
(FPHPD) goes ON. At this time, the 3-hole puncher makes a
single round trip in escape direction (moving up the hole
puncher) on a half circumference of the punch shaft. The
punching operation for the second sheet ends when the punch
shaft has rotated 180° counterclockwise and the punch home
position sensor (FPHPD) goes ON (half circumference).
At this time, the 3-hole puncher makes a single round trip in
escape direction (moving up the hole puncher) on the other
half circumference of the punch shaft.
The punching operation takes place as follows when making
two holes in two sheets of paper:
