Read This First Important Safety Notices Responsibilities of the Customer Engineer Customer Engineer Maintenance shall be done only by trained customer engineers who have completed service training for the machine and all optional devices designed for use with the machine. Reference Material for Maintenance Maintenance shall be done using the special tools and procedures prescribed for maintenance of the machine described in the reference materials (service manuals,...
Page 22
Power Always disconnect the power plug before doing any maintenance procedure. After switching off the machine, power is still supplied to the main machine and other devices. To prevent electrical shock, switch the machine off, wait for a few seconds, then unplug the machine from the power source.
During Maintenance General Before you begin a maintenance procedure: 1) Switch the machine off 2) Disconnect the power plug from the power source. Safety Devices Never remove any safety device unless it requires replacement. Always replace safety devices immediately. Never do any procedure that defeats the function of any safety device. Modification or removal of a safety device (fuse, switch, etc.) could lead to a fire and personal injury.
Page 24
Power Plug and Power Cord Before serving the machine (especially when responding to a service call), always make sure that the power plug has been inserted completely into the power source. A partially inserted plug could lead to heat generation (due to a power surge caused by high resistance) and cause a fire or other problems.
Page 25
After Installation, Servicing Points to Confirm with Operators At the end of installation or a service call, instruct the user about use of the machine. Emphasize the following points. Show operators how to remove jammed paper and troubleshoot other minor problems by following the procedures described in the operating instructions.
Page 26
Health Safety Conditions If you get ink in your eyes by accident, try to remove it with eye drops or flush with water as first aid. If unsuccessful, get medical attention. If you ingest ink by accident, induce vomiting by sticking a finger down your throat or by giving soapy or strong salty water to drink.

ORIGINAL SIZE DETECTION 2. DETAILED SECTION DESCRIPTIONS 2.1 ORIGINAL SIZE DETECTION The ADF does not have original size sensors (Original width sensor, Original length sensor and Original trailing edge sensor). 2.2 PICK-UP AND SEPARATION C642V904.WMF C642V905.WMF An FRR (feed and reverse roller) system is used. When you put an original on the feed table, this lifts the original set sensor feeler [A], then the original set sensor [B] tells the main CPU that the DF is ready to start feeding.
ORIGINAL TRANSPORT AND EXIT MECHANISM on, feeding the top original page to the paper feed belt [I], where it is separated by the separation roller [J]. 2.3 ORIGINAL TRANSPORT AND EXIT MECHANISM C642V906.WMF When the leading edge of the original reaches the registration sensor at [A], the DF transport motor turns off.

OVERALL ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT 2.5 OVERALL ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT The MPU controls the DF transport motor, DF feed clutch and DF pick-up solenoid. The MPU also monitors all sensors and provides updated status when prompted at regular intervals by the mainframe, which may then take action based on this information.
