When reassembling parts, make sure that the correct screws (size, type) and toothed
washer are used in the correct places.
If it becomes necessary to replace the thermal fuse or any other fuse mounted on a
board, be sure to use one of the rating marked on the blown fuse. Always note the rating
marked on the fuse, as the rating and mounting site or number used are subject to
change without notice.
Precautions for Circuit Inspection

Never create a closed circuit across connector pins except those specified in the text and
on the printed circuit.
When creating a closed circuit and measuring a voltage across connector pins specified
in the text, be sure to use the GND wire.
P-7

00.09.13
Handling of PWBs
1. During Transportation/Storage:
During transportation or when in storage, new P.W. Boards must not be indiscriminately
removed from their protective conductive bags.
Do not store or place P.W. Boards in a location exposed to direct sunlight and high temperature.
When it becomes absolutely necessary to remove a Board from its conductive bag or
case, always place it on its conductive mat in an area as free as possible from static electricity.
Do not touch the pins of the ICs with your bare hands.
Protect the PWBs from any external force so that they are not bent or damaged.
2. During Inspection/Replacement:
Avoid checking the IC directly with a multimeter; use connectors on the Board.
Never create a closed circuit across IC pins with a metal tool.
Before unplugging connectors from the P.W. Boards, make sure that the power cord has
been unplugged from the outlet.
When removing a Board from its conductive bag or conductive case, do not touch the
pins of the ICs or the printed pattern. Place it in position by holding only the edges of the
Board.
When touching the PWB, wear a wrist strap and connect its cord to a securely grounded
place whenever possible. If you cannot wear a wrist strap, touch a metal part to discharge static electricity before touching the PWB.
Note that replacement of a PWB may call for readjustments or resetting of particular
items.
Handling of Other Parts

The magnet roller generates a strong magnetic field. Do not bring it near a watch, floppy
disk, magnetic card, or CRT tube.
P-8

00.09.13
Handling of the PC Drum

Only for Products Not Employing an Imaging Cartridge.
Use the specified carton whenever moving or storing the PC Drum.
The storage temperature is in the range between 20C and +40C.
In summer, avoid leaving the PC Drum in a car for a long time.
2. Handling:
Ensure that the correct PC Drum is used.
Whenever the PC Drum has been removed from the copier, store it in its carton or protect it with a Drum Cloth.
The PC Drum exhibits greatest light fatigue after being exposed to strong light over an
extended period of time. Never, therefore, expose it to direct sunlight.
Use care not to contaminate the surface of the PC Drum with oil-base solvent, fingerprints, and other foreign matter.
Do not scratch the surface of the PC Drum.
Do not apply chemicals to the surface of the PC Drum.
Do not attempt to wipe clean the surface of the PC Drum.
If, however, the surface is contaminated with fingerprints, clean it using the following procedure.
1. Place the PC Drum into one half of its carton.
1076D001
1076D002
2. Gently wipe the residual toner off the surface of the

PC Drum with a dry, Dust-Free Cotton Pad.
A. Turn the PC Drum so that the area of its surface on
which the line of toner left by the Cleaning Blade is
present is facing straight up. Wipe the surface in
one continuous movement from the rear edge of
the PC Drum to the front edge and off the surface
of the PC Drum.
B. Turn the PC Drum slightly and wipe the newly
exposed surface area with a CLEAN face of the
Dust-Free Cotton Pad. Repeat this procedure until
the entire surface of the PC Drum has been thoroughly cleaned.
At this time, always use a CLEAN face of the dry
Dust-Free Cotton Pad until no toner is evident on the
face of the Pad after wiping.
P-9

00.09.13
3. Soak a small amount of either ethyl alcohol or isopropyl alcohol into a clean, unused Dust-Free Cotton Pad which has been folded over into quarters.
Now, wipe the surface of the PC Drum in one continuous movement from its rear edge to its front
edge and off its surface one to two times.
Never move the Pad back and forth.
1076D003
4. Using the SAME face of the Pad, repeat the procedure explained in the latter half of step 3 until the
entire surface of the PC Drum has been wiped.
Always OVERLAP the areas when wiping. Two
complete turns of the PC Drum would be appropriate for cleaning.
1076D004
NOTES
Even when the PC Drum is only locally dirtied, wipe the entire surface.
Do not expose the PC Drum to direct sunlight. Clean it as quickly as possible even under
interior illumination.
If dirt remains after cleaning, repeat the entire procedure from the beginning one more
time.
Handling of the Imaging Cartridge

Punch Mechanism
A copy being transported through the Finisher is briefly stopped and punched by the
Punch Unit.
(1)
Paper transport stop mechanism
Stops the copy being transported briefly at the punching position.

Operation
A copy is transported into the Finisher and its trailing edge moves past Punch Registration Sensor.
Punch Registration Clutch 1 (normally-closed type) is energized.
When fed into the Non-Sort or Finisher Tray:

Drive to Vertical Transport Roller 1 is cut off
and the copy becomes stationary at Vertical
Transport Roller 1/Rolls 1.
When fed into the Elevator Tray:

Drive to the Elevator Transport Roller is cut off
and the copy becomes stationary at the Elevator Transport Roller.
Since the trailing edge of the copy is still being

transported by the Punch Registration Rollers,
a loop is formed in the copy between the
Punch Registration Rollers and Vertical Transport Roller 1/Rolls 1.
Since the trailing edge of the copy is still being

transported by the Punch Registration Rollers,
a loop is formed in the copy between the
Punch Registration Rollers and Elevator
Transport Roller.
When the trailing edge of the copy leaves the area of contact between the Punch Registration Rollers, the strength inherent to the copy paper, together with the elasticity of the loop, causes the trailing edge of the copy to be pressed against the area of contact between the Punch Registration
Rollers. This positions the copy correctly at the punching position.
The Punch Unit punches holes in the copy along its trailing edge.
Punch Registration Clutch is deenergized,

which transmits drive to Vertical Transport
Roller 1, causing the copy to be transported
and fed into the Non-Sort Tray or Finisher
Tray.
Punch Registration Clutch is deenergized,

which transmits drive to the Elevator Transport
Roller, causing the copy to be transported and
fed into the Elevator Tray.
M-18

00.11.20
NOTE
When fed into the Non-Sort or Finisher Tray:
If the copy paper length is 279 mm or more, the leading edge of the copy has already left
the area of contact between Vertical Transport Roller 2/Rolls 2 when Punch Registration
Clutch 1 is energized. At the same time that Punch Registration Clutch 1 is energized,
therefore, Punch Registration Clutch 2 (normally-open type) is energized to cut off drive
to Vertical Transport Roller 2.
When fed into the Elevator Tray:
If the copy paper length is 279 mm or more, the leading edge of the copy has already left
the area of contact between the Elevator Exit Rollers when Punch Registration Clutch 1
is energized. At the same time that Punch Registration Clutch 1 is energized, therefore,
Elevator Tray Exit Motor is deenergized to cut off drive to the Elevator Exit Roller.

Drive of the Punch Unit
When Punch Motor turns, gear C of the Punch Unit is turned via Punch Motor Unit Drive
Gear G3. Since Punch Clutch is normally deenergized, however, the motor rotation is not
transmitted to the drive shaft.

When Punch Clutch is energized, rotation of gear C is transmitted to the drive shaft.
(Punch Clutch is kept energized only for 45 msec. It is deenergized to stop the drive shaft
when the drive shaft turns one complete turn.)
When the drive shaft turns one turn, the Punch Bars are pushed by the eccentric cams,
making one crosswise back-and-forth motion to punch holes in the copy.

Preliminary Folding Operation
1. The Finisher moves the 1st Crease Stopper according to the Folding mode (Crease,
Half-Fold, or Z-Fold) and the paper size selected on the copier.
The 1st Crease Stopper is moved by 1st Crease Stopper Motor. The position for the 1st
Crease Stopper is determined by changing the number of 1st Crease Stopper Motor output pulses according to the Folding mode and paper size.
The 1st Crease Stopper is moved as the spiral shaft turns.
The Switching Plate changes its position at the same time that Paper Crease Switching
Solenoid is energized and deenergized.
The Switching Plate is actuated to select the correct paper path when a copy is fed into
the Paper Folding Unit and smoothly to the 1st Transport Path. After the copy has been
folded, it is fed to the Vertical Transport Section. The Switching Plate Mylar helps guide
the copy paper.
2. A loop is formed in the copy fed from the copier between the Folding Transport Roller
and Folding Registration Roller.
When Paper Center Crease Switchback Sensor detects the leading edge of the copy,
Paper Crease Motor starts turning forward. Skew Correction Clutch (normally-open type)
is then energized to stop the Folding Registration Roller and kept so for a given period of
time so that a loop is formed in the copy.
When Skew Correction Clutch is deenergized, the plunger of Half/Z-Fold Switching Solenoid is drawn in or out depending on the Folding mode, which in turn changes the position of the Folding Switching Plate.
The leading edge of the copy is pressed against the area of contact between the Folding
Registration Rollers, which forms a loop in the copy to correct any skew in its leading
edge.

3. The leading edge of the copy is transported up to the 1st Crease Stopper.
The 1st Crease Stopper is provided with a guide shaft that runs parallel with the spiral
shaft. It eliminates play in the vertical direction in the 1st Crease Stopper while the stopper is moving.
4. The guide plate beside the Center Folding Roller and Folding Roller 1 guides the copy
toward the area of contact between these two rollers. Since the leading edge of the
copy is blocked by the 1st Crease Stopper, this movement in the copy forms a loop at
the area of contact between the two rollers.
The guide plate is shaped to ensure that a good loop is formed in the copy.
5. When the leading edge of the loop in the copy reaches the area of contact between the
Center Folding Roller and Folding Roller 1, the two rollers pinch and feed the copy
between them, thus making a fold in it.

Z-Fold Operation
1. The copy pinched between the Center Folding Roller and Folding Roller 1 through the
preliminary folding operation is transported to the 2nd Transport Path. When the leading edge of the crease in the copy reaches the 2nd Crease Stopper, there is another
loop formed in the copy, since the copy is still transported by the Center Folding Roller
and Folding Roller 1. Because of the shape of the 2nd Transport Path, this second loop
is formed toward the area of contact between the Center Folding Roller and Folding
Roller 2.
When Skew Correction Clutch is deenergized, the plunger of Half/Z-Fold Switching Solenoid is drawn out, which in turn changes the position of the Folding Switching Plate.
In Z-Fold, the Folding Switching Plate swings into the position shown on the next page,
allowing the copy to be transported to the 2nd Transport Path.

Description of 1st Crease Stopper Motor
A two-phase stepping motor is used for the 1st Crease Stopper Motor which is turned forward or backward by the pulse signals output from PJ20A-5 to 8. Each output pulse from
IC4A turns the motor one step, which is a 7.5 revolution of the motor shaft. This translates to the movement of about 0.25 mm of the 1st Crease Stopper. The movement of
the 1st Crease Stopper can thus be controlled.
(7)
1st Crease Stopper Home Position Detection
The home position of the 1st Crease Stopper is where the light blocking plate fitted to the
1st Crease Stopper has just blocked (L) 1st Crease Stopper Home Position Sensor. This
position serves as the reference point, based on which the movement of the 1st Crease
Stopper is calculated for a particular Folding mode and paper size (the number of output
pulses from IC4A).

Preliminary Folding Operation
1. The Finisher selects the appropriate 1st Crease Stopper according to the Folding mode
(Crease, Half-Fold, or Z-Fold) and the paper size selected on the copier.
The appropriate 1st Crease Stopper is selected by 1st Crease Stopper Motor. Which one
or two of the 1st Crease Stoppers should be selected is determined according to the
Folding mode and paper size by changing the number of M12 output pulses. (In Z-Fold,
M12 remains deenergized.)
The cam on the camshaft brings the appropriate 1st Crease Stopper into the actuated
position.
The Switching Plate changes its position at the same time that Paper Crease Switching
Solenoid is energized and deenergized.
The Switching Plate is actuated to select the correct paper path when a copy is fed into
the Paper Folding Unit and smoothly to the 1st Transport Path. After the copy has been
folded, it is fed to the Vertical Transport Section. The Switching Plate Mylar helps guide
the copy paper.
2. A loop is formed in the copy fed from the copier between the Folding Transport Roller

CD Aligning Mechanism
The CD Aligning Plates provided in the Finisher Tray align copies in the Finisher Tray in
the crosswise direction. This ensures that a copy set is neatly aligned, which is helpful
particularly for stapling.
The two plates are moved over a uniform distance from both sides through a rack-andpinion system and a drive gear which is driven as the CD Aligning Motor turns forward or
backward.

Trailing Edge Stopper Moving Mechanism
The Trailing Edge Stopper of the Finisher Tray functions basically as a stopper against
which a copy being fed into the tray hits for lengthwise alignment. In Z-Fold, it advances
to neatly align the Z-folded copy in the lengthwise direction. This ensures that a neat set
of copies in the Finisher Tray is always fed for the subsequent stapling operation.
The Trailing Edge Stopper is moved via a drive gear and spiral shaft driven by FD Aligning Motor that turns either forward or backward.

The Finisher determines if the Stapler is at the home position when the Finisher Set
Switch is turned ON for the first time after the Power Switch of the copier has been
turned ON.
If it finds that the Stapler is out of the home position (i.e., the Stapler Home Position Sensor is unblocked), it energizes the Stapling Motor and, as soon as the sensor is blocked,
deenergizes the motor. (This is the home position detection sequence.)

Staple Sheet Empty Detection
The Staple Empty Detecting Sensor is used to detect whether there is a staple sheet or
not in the Staple Cartridge. This sensor is a reflector type photosensor. When there is a
staple sheet, the light from the sensors LED is reflected by the staple sheet, turning ON
the sensors phototransistor. This results in a LOW signal being input to PJ14A-8. If there
is no staple sheet, the LED light is not reflected, which turns OFF the phototransistor. At
this time, a HIGH signal is input to PJ14A-8 and the Finisher Panel gives a staple-sheetempty warning.
Staple Sheet
1C1A-56
Present
Not present
The Finisher carries out a staple sheet detection sequence when there are about 60 staples left in the Staple Cartridge. If a staple-sheet-empty condition is detected during a
stapling sequence, that particular stapling sequence is continued until it is completed.
After the sequence has been completed, the staple-sheet-empty warning is given
prompting the operator to change the Staple Cartridge. Immediately after a new Staple
Cartridge has been loaded, the Stapler is operated to complete six consecutive stapling
sequences (it is stopped when Stapler Home Position Sensor is activated a sixth time).
This is done to prevent a dummy run (an operation of the Stapler without actually driving a staple into the copy) immediately following the replacement of the cartridge.

Stapling Paper Detection
Stapling Paper Detecting Sensors LED/PQ are provided to prevent a dummy run (an
operation of the Stapler with no copies placed). To cope with different stapling modes,
the stapling paper is detected at a position before the actual stapling positions. A reflector type photosensor is installed under the slider rails for the Stapling Unit.

Copy Set Transport Mechanism
The copy set transport mechanism employs two pairs of rollers, Copy Set Pressure Rollers 1 and Copy Set Pressure Rollers 2, that transport the copy set into the Stapling Unit.
Drive for the copy set transport comes from Copy Set Transport Motor.
To prevent a copy or copies in the middle of a copy set from slipping and being left
behind during transport, each of the two pairs of rollers is made of a soft material.

Description of Copy Set Transport Motor
A two-phase stepping motor is used as Copy Set Transport Motor to ensure good positioning accuracy for stapling. The movement and speed of the copy set are controlled by
applying pulse signals output from PJ17A-5 to 8 to the motor. Each output pulse from
IC1A turns Copy Set Transport Motor one step, which is a 1.8 revolution of the motor
shaft. This is equivalent to a movement of about 0.377 mm of the copy set as it is fed by
the Copy Set Transport Rollers. The number of output pulses from IC1A therefore controls the movement of the copy set.

Copy Set Transport Motor Positioning Control
A. 2-Point (Side) and Corner Staple

Drive from Copy Set Transport Motor is transmitted to Copy Set Pressure Rollers 1
which, in turn, transport the copy set to the stapling position over a distance corresponding to the number of pulses regardless of the Folding mode or paper size.
Stapling position
: 7 mm from the leading edge of the copy set consisting of two

pages (8 to 8.5 mm for a 50-page copy set because of the
mechanical construction of the stapler involved that drives a

B. Center Staple
Drive from Copy Set Transport Motor is transmitted to Copy Set Pressure Rollers 1 and
Copy Set Pressure Rollers 2 which, in turn, transport the copy set until Paper Center Stapling Leading Edge Position Sensor LED/PQ detects the leading edge of the copy set.
From the position when Paper Center Stapling Leading Edge Position Sensor LED/PQ
detects the leading edge, the rollers further transport the copy set to the stapling position
over a distance corresponding to a set number of pulses (which varies with the paper
size).

Description of Paper Center Stapling Leading Edge Position Sensor LED/PQ
Paper Center Stapling Leading Edge Position Sensor LED/PQ detects the leading edge
of the copy set when the copy set is to be stapled at two points at the center. An interrupter type photosensor is used to enhance detection accuracy that can otherwise be
degraded because of the wide transport guide plate involved.
Stepping motors are used for the transport of copy sets, meaning that the motors themselves can provide good stopping accuracy. The sensor is, nonetheless, used to further
enhance the positioning accuracy, since Copy Set Pressure Rollers are soft, meaning
that they have a wider area of contact between the rollers.

Copy Set Pressure Rollers 1 Pressure Mechanism
Each time a copy is fed into the Finisher Tray, Copy Set Pressure Rollers 1 are brought
into contact with, and separated from, each other. This aligns the copy with the rest of
the copies of the copy set. (If, for example, ten copies are fed into the Finisher Tray, the
rollers carry out this sequence of pressure/release operation for each of the second
through ninth copies.) The pressure/release operation occurs a given period of time after
the trailing edge of the copy has moved past Finisher Tray Exit Sensor.
The pressure/release operation of Copy Set Pressure Rollers 1 is done also for transporting the copy set stored in the Finisher Tray.
The drive for this operation comes from Copy Set Clamp Motor 1.

Elevator Tray Exit Mechanism
The Elevator Tray exit mechanism feeds a copy or copy set from the Paper Folding Unit
or Stapling Unit onto the Elevator Tray by means of Elevator Tray Exit Motor. When a
copy or copy set is fed into the Elevator Tray, Elevator Tray Exit Sensor is unblocked (H)
by the leading edge of the copy or copy set and blocked (L) as the trailing edge of the
copy or copy set moves past the sensor.

Elevator Tray Ascent/Descent Mechanism
The Elevator Tray ascent/descent mechanism moves the Elevator Tray up or down
according to the number of copies fed into the Elevator Tray.
Drive for this mechanism comes from the Elevator Motor and the Elevator Tray can hold
up to 2,500 sheets of paper.
When copies of different sizes and directions are being fed into the Elevator Tray, the
tray can hold up to 500 sheets maximum.
When Fin. Warning Off available from Tech. Rep. Choice has been set to Enable, it
cancels the restriction on the number of copies to be fed into the Elevator Tray. This
causes the Finisher to continue feeding copies into the Elevator Tray until the tray lowers
to its lowest position.
Elevator Motor M2

copy is fed into the Elevator Tray when the copying mode is Staple with Crease, and
Center Staple with Non-Crease. The Elevator Tray Upper Surface Sensor is used to provide top level detection control in any other copying mode. (Top level detection control:
The Elevator Tray is lowered for the period of time during which the corresponding sensor remains activated.)
The Elevator Tray is not angled when the copying mode is Staple with Non-Crease.

Elevator Tray Pitch Mechanism
The Elevator Tray Pitch mechanism changes the angle of the Elevator Tray when Corner
or 2-Point (Side) Staple with Non-Crease is selected so that the stapled copy set fed earlier on the tray will not be damaged by the newly stapled one being fed onto the tray.
The tray is angled by the Elevator Tray Pitch Motor and the Elevator Tray Pitch Home
Position Sensor.

Adjustment of the Stapling Unit
NOTE
Make the following adjustments in this order: Phase Adjustment, Crosswise Position
Adjustment, and Longitudinal Position Adjustment.
A. Phase Adjustment
This adjustment is concerned with the stapling action of the Stapler Assy in synchronism
with that of the Clinch Assy.
NOTE
For the adjustment, use two Phase Adjustment Jigs (4427-7108-01).
Clinch Assy
Insert the jig into the adjustment holes in the Clinch
Assy to preserve alignment. Then, with the Stapler in
its most opened position, install the belt at the front of
the unit and hook the thick tension spring.

and the leading staple correctly aligned with the
center of the slit in the Clinch Assy, install the belt
at the rear of the unit and hook the tension
spring. (Coarse adjustment)
4470D076AA
5. Turn the Stapler Moving Knob and, when the Stapler Assy and Clinch Assy start moving to the
front or rear, check to see if the leading staple of
the staple sheet is located at the center of the slit
in the Clinch Assy. Adjust the position of the Fine
Adjustment Plate as necessary.
4470D077AA
C. Longitudinal Position Adjustment

4. Turn the Manual Staple Knob to let the Stapling
Unit actually perform a stapling sequence and
check for how good sheets of paper are stapled.
If it is okay, mount the Stapling Unit in the Finisher and let it staple 50 sheets of paper together.
4470D078AA
NOTE
If the clinching action is faulty, loosen the screws
that secure the Clinch Assy and change the staple
entry point to find a position for correct clinching
action.
NOTE
As a guideline, the leading staple of the staple
sheet should be in correct alignment with the center of the slit in the Clinch Assy.
