  • Page 8: Basic Operation

    23 April 1993 OVERALL MACHINE INFORMATION 1.5 BASIC OPERATION After the copy is completed, the paper is directed to the finisher. If the sort/stack mode is selected, the junction gate [A] directs the paper upwards to transport it to the shift tray [B]. In these modes, the shift tray is shifted from side to side to stagger and separate sets of copies.
  • Page 9 SECTIONAL DESCRIPTIONS 23 April 1993 2. SECTIONAL DESCRIPTIONS 2.1 PAPER DELIVERY SWITCHING Depending on the selected finishing mode, the copies are directed up or down by the junction gate [A], is controlled by a solenoid. (1) When the exit sensor of the copier is activated while in staple mode, the solenoid [B] is energized.
  • Page 10: Shift Tray Up/Down Mechanism

    23 April 1993 SECTIONAL DESCRIPTIONS 2.2 SHIFT TRAY UP/DOWN MECHANISM The vertical position of the shift tray [A] is controlled by the shift tray lift motor (dc motor) [B] through gears and timing belts [C]. When the main switch is turned on, the tray position is initialized to the upper position.
  • Page 11 SECTIONAL DESCRIPTIONS 23 April 1993 2.3 SHIFT TRAY SIDE-TO-SIDE SHIFT MECHANISM In the sort/stack mode, the shift tray [A] moves from side to side to stagger and separate sets of copies. The horizontal position of the shift tray is controlled by the shift motor (dc motor) [B] and the shift cam (helical cam) [C].
  • Page 12 23 April 1993 SECTIONAL DESCRIPTIONS 2.4 STAPLE UNIT PAPER POSITIONING In the staple mode, copies are vertically and horizontally aligned in the jogger unit before being stapled. For horizontal paper alignment, the jogger motor [A] moves both the front and the rear jogger fences [B] to align the copies.
  • Page 13 SECTIONAL DESCRIPTIONS 23 April 1993 2.5 JOGGER MOVEMENT 7 mm 2 mm When the Start key is pressed, the copier sends the paper size information to the finisher. In accordance with that data, the jogger motor (stepper motor) starts rotating to position the front and rear jogger fences [A] 7 mm away from the selected paper’s edges.
  • Page 14 23 April 1993 SECTIONAL DESCRIPTIONS 2.6 STAPLER The staple hammer [A] is driven by the staple motor [B] via gears [C], two eccentric cams [D], and two links [E]. When the aligned copies are brought to the staple position by the positioning roller, alignment brush roller, and jogger fences, the stapler motor starts rotating.
  • Page 15 SECTIONAL DESCRIPTIONS 23 April 1993 2.7 STAPLER UNIT SIDE-TO-SIDE MOVEMENT Customers can select one of the following three different staple modes: Staple 1: Top left Staple 2: Bottom left Staple 3: Top/Bottom left The stapler drive motor [A] (stepper motor) moves the stapler unit [B] from side to side.
  • Page 16 23 April 1993 SECTIONAL DESCRIPTIONS 2.8 FEED-OUT TO SHIFT TRAY After being stapled, the stack feed-out motor [A] starts rotating. The pawl [B] on the lift belt [C] transports the set of stapled copies up, and feeds it to the shift tray.
