  • Page 21: Changing The System Constants

    11. CHANGING THE SYSTEM CONSTANTS System constants are aimed at allowing users to adjust the values required for operating the collator by themselves. While, taking advantage of them, users may optimize the machine operation according to the environment in which it is used, erroneous setting will cause the machine to malfunction. Closest care should be taken when system constants are changed.

    11.2 Adjustment of the paper feed photo luminescence intensity Adjustment will be required if the followings occur when the CHECK key is pressed to feed paper. (A) The station lamp flashes red (due to excess or lack of luminescence intensity) (B) The EMPTY FEED lamp lights though the paper is fed.

  • Page 26: The Station Lamp Blinks In Red At Check (System Constant P)

    Explanation of System Constant Setting by Symptom and Purpose 1. The station lamp blinks in red at check (System constant P) Double feed detection cannot be performed at check. Accordingly, the lamp blinks in red at check when the sensitivity of the paper feed photo sensor does not match the applied paper. The red lamp blinking condition is classified into 2 cases by paper quality and sensor sensitivity.

  • Page 27: Canceling Double Feed Detection (System Constant A)

    2. Canceling double feed detection (System constant A) There is a rare possibility that the sensitivity of the paper feed photo sensor may not be fitted to paper by adjusting the paper feed photo sensor with the system constant P. At this time, cancel double feed detection to attain a paper feed as a temporary measure.
