  • Page 41: Feed Switch Operation

    2. Technical Explanation Feed switch operation This equipment feeds the paper received from the host machine to the stack tray (processing tray), escape tray, or saddle delivery tray (saddle stitcher unit). The feed path is switched by two flappers: escape inlet flapper and buffer/ saddle inlet flapper. The home position is detected by the flapper HP sensor (PS105) .

  • Page 46 2. Technical Explanation ■ Buffer Operation 1. The trailing edge of the paper fed by the host machine is detected by the input sensor (PS101). The paper is fed for a specified amount where it stops. M104 Flapper HP Sensor (PS105) Buffer/Saddle Inlet Flapper Inlet Sensor (PS101)
  • Page 47 2. Technical Explanation 3. The flapper motor (M104) is driven to switch the buffer/saddle inlet flapper. The paper stored in the buffer and the paper received from the host machine are placed on top of each other but shifted by a specified amount and fed. - If one sheet of paper is stored in the buffer, the overlapped sheets are fed to the processing tray unit as they are.

  • Page 48: Stack/Escape Tray Unit

    2. Technical Explanation Stack/Escape Tray Unit Outline This equipment has a stack tray and two escape trays. The escape trays are fixed in place. The stack tray moves up and down according to the instructions from the finisher controller PCB. The stack/escape tray unit has a sensor for detecting the paper surface of the stack tray unit, five sensors for detecting whether the paper delivered in the tray is full, and two sensors for detecting the position of the stack tray.

  • Page 49: Stack Tray Up And Down Movement

    2. Technical Explanation Stack Tray Up and Down Movement The finisher controller PCB drives the stack tray shift motor (M105) to move the stack tray up and down via the belt. The stack tray HP sensor (PS106) detects the home position of the stack tray. The stack tray upper limit sensor (PS110) detects the upper limit position of the stack tray.

  • Page 50: Stack Tray Delivery Paper Surface Detection, Paper Full

    2. Technical Explanation Stack Tray Delivery Paper Surface Detection, Paper Full The surface position of the paper delivered in the stack tray is detected by the stack tray paper surface sensors (PBA101, PBA102,PBA103). The surface of the paper delivered in the stack tray is detected by using the stack tray paper surface sensor (upper and lower) (light-receiving) (PBA102, PBA103) to detect the on/off state of the LED light emitted from the stack tray paper surface sensor (light-emitting) (PBA101).
  • Page 51 2. Technical Explanation Note that this equipment does not have a paper sensor on the stack tray. Therefore, if the stack tray HP sensor (PS106) is on when the stack tray paper surface sensor detects the paper surface (top surface of the tray), this equipment decides that the paper in the stack tray is near empty.

  • Page 53: Escape Tray Paper Full Detection

    2. Technical Explanation Escape Tray Paper Full Detection Paper full detection on the escape tray is performed using the escape tray full sensor (PS113). When the escape tray full sensor (PS113) is on, it is determined that the paper in the escape tray is full, and paper feed operation is stopped. Paper Full Detection Sensor Flag Paper Upper/Lower Escape Delivery Roller...

  • Page 54: Processing Tray Unit

    2. Technical Explanation Processing Tray Unit Outline The processing tray unit aligns, shifts, and staples the delivered paper, and then delivers the paper stack onto the stack tray. Note that alignment is not performed in the processing tray unit if shifting, stapling, or staple-free binding is not performed. (However, alignment is performed for 2-sided print of A3 and B4 sheets weighing less than 64 g/m2.) Rear Tray Auxiliary Guide Paper End Pushing Guide...

  • Page 55: Stacking Operation

    2. Technical Explanation Stacking Operation The paper delivered from the pre-processing roller is stacked on the processing tray and aligned in the feed direction. How paper is delivered from the pre-processing roller and stacked on the processing tray is described below. Paper End Pushing Guide Paddle Clutch (CL103)
  • Page 56 2. Technical Explanation 2. The stack delivery/paddle motor (M103) drives, and the paddle clutch (CL103) turns on. The paddle is rotated (once for small size, twice for large size) and pulls in the paper into the processing tray unit. Further, return roller lift motor (M111) is driven, and stack delivery/paddle motor (M103) is used for rotation.
  • Page 57 2. Technical Explanation 3. The paper end pushing guide motor (M112) and return roller lift motor (M111) are driven to lift the paper end pushing guide and return roller. Then the front/rear alignment motors (M107/M108) are driven to move the front/rear alignment plate so that the paper stacked in the processing tray is aligned in the cross feed direction.

  • Page 63: Staple-Free Binding Operation

    2. Technical Explanation The presence of the staple cartridge and the presence of the staples in the staple cartridge are detected by the staple sensor (PS127). Whether the staple in the staple cartridge is pushed out to the leading edge of the cartridge is detected by the staple edging sensor (PS126).
  • Page 64 2. Technical Explanation Note that the staple-free binding unit is shifted by the stapler shift motor (M114) to the front or rear in sync with the stapler unit. When stapling by the stapler unit is taking place, the staple-free binding unit is stored in the rear. Staple-free Binding Motor (M116) Staple-free Binding Unit Staple-free Binding Motor...
  • Page 65 2. Technical Explanation ■ Staple-Free Binding Unit When the staple-free binding motor (M116) drives and the cam rotates once, the binding unit pinches the paper. The wave-shaped upper teeth and lower teeth of the binding unit bite the paper to bind it. The cam rotation status is detected by the staple-free binding HP sensor (PS129) to detect the home position of the binding unit.

  • Page 66: Stack Delivery Operation

    2. Technical Explanation Stack Delivery Operation The paper stacked in the processing tray is fed toward the stack tray by the paper end assist guide and delivered to the stack tray by the stack delivery roller. The upper stack delivery roller is used for this purpose. During this process, the swing unit including the upper stack delivery roller is controlled so that it is positioned at the appropriate location according to the thickness and type of the delivered paper stack.

  • Page 67: Saddle Stitcher Unit

    2.

  • Page 70: Stacking Operation

    2. Technical Explanation Stacking Operation 1. The saddle stitcher controller PCB drives the saddle paper end stopper motor (M206) to move the saddle paper end stopper according to the paper size. Then, it drives the saddle alignment motor (M203) to move the saddle alignment plate to the paper width +10 mm position.
  • Page 71 2. Technical Explanation 3. The saddle alignment motor (M203) drives to operate the saddle alignment plate. The saddles is processed, and the paper stacked in the tray is aligned in the cross feed direction. M203 Rear Saddle Front Saddle Alignment Plate Alignment Plate Paper 4.
