I. FEATURES
1. Accommodates large quantities of sheets
● Normally, the finisher holds a stack of sheets 220.6 mm in height in its three bins (small-
sized paper of 80 g/m2; no stapling).
2. Has high paper transportation performance.

● The finisher is capable of handling papers between 50 and 157 g/m2.
3. Offers a job offset function.

● The finisher’s job offset function delivers the first or the last sheet of each job by displacing
it to the front, enabling sorting of copies on the tray.
4. Offers four types of auto stapling.

● The finisher offers a choice of four stapling modes (1-point stapling at rear, diagonal sta-
pling at front, diagonal stapling at rear, 2-point stapling).
5. Uses a buffer roller.

● The use of a buffer roller enables the finisher to accept copies without interruption from the
copier even during stapling or offset operation (small-size paper only).
6. Offers an interrupt delivery function.

● Installation of the interrupt delivery tray will enable an interruption of an ongoing op-
eration (up to 50 copies of small-size paper or up to 30 copies of large-size paper; both

of 80 g/m2).
7. Has a saddle stitch function (Saddle Finisher-C2).

● The finisher can staple along the center of paper and fold it in two (up to 15 sheets).
8. Offers an incoming fax indicator (option).

● When installed, the incoming fax indicator lamp (LED) will turn on to indicate the arrival of
a fax on tray 2/3.

I. BASIC OPERATION
A. Outline
The finisher is designed to deliver copies arriving from its host copier, and its modes of delivery
include simple stacking, job offset, staple, and interrupt.
All operations involved in these modes are controlled by the finisher controller PCB, according
to the appropriate commands from the host copier.
In the case of the Saddle Finisher-C2, copies from the host copier may be routed to the saddle
stitcher unit.

Figure 2-101
Note:
The term job offset refers to shifting of the first sheet of each sorting job, thereby separating a single
stack into several stacks.

B. Outline of Electrical Circuitry

The finisher’s sequence of operations is controlled by the finisher controller PCB. The finisher
controller PCB is a 16-bit microprocessor (CPU), and is used for communication with the host
copier (serial) in addition to controlling the finisher’s sequence of operations.
The finisher controller PCB responds to the various commands coming from the host copier
through a serial communications line to drive solenoids, motors, and other loads. In addition, it
communicates the finisher’s various states (information on sensors and switches) to the host copier
through a serial communications circuit.
In the case of the Saddle Finisher-C2, the finisher controller PCB not only communicates with
the saddle stitcher controller PCB but also communicates the saddle stitcher unit’s various states
(information on sensors and switches) to the host copier.
The ICs used on the finisher controller PCB are designed for the following:
● Q1 (CPU)
Controls sequence of operations.

● Q2 (EP-ROM)
Contains sequence programs.

● Q3 (RAM)
Backs up initial settings data.

● Q4 (communications IC)
Communicates with the host copier and the saddle stitcher unit.
● Q9 (regulator IC)
Generates 5 V.
Figure 2-102 shows the flow of signals between the finisher and the options controller.

II. FEED/DRIVE SYSTEM

A. Outline
The finisher is designed to operate according to the commands from its host copier to deliver
arriving copies to trays in the appropriate mode: simple stacking, shifting, stapling. Or, the copier
may request delivery to the interrupt delivery tray.
See Figure 2-201 for a diagram of the four modes of delivery (five for the Saddle Finisher-C2).

3. Saddle Stitch Delivery (Saddle Finisher-C2)

A copy arriving in the finisher from the copier is routed to the saddle stitcher by the paper
deflecting plate. The saddle stitcher executes stitching and saddling operations on the copy and then
delivers it to the saddle stitcher tray.
For discussions of stacks in the saddle stitcher, see Chapter 3.
To saddle stitcher
Figure 2-210
B. Types of Delivery Paths

The finisher has three different paper paths for delivery, each selected to suit paper size and
delivery mode.
1. Small-Size Paper Route

Small-size copies are moved under the buffer roller.
Buffer roller
Delivery roller
Figure 2-211

2. Large-Size Paper Route

Large-size copies or vertically fed copies are moved over the buffer roller, thereby increasing
the distance between copies. For stapling, all copies are moved through this path regardless of size
except the first copy.
Buffer roller
Feed roller 2
Delivery roller
Figure 2-212
3. Buffer Paper Path

The buffer paper path is used for small-size copies when job offset or stapling is selected. The
path is for copies to be offset or the first copy that follows the last stapled copy.
1) The first copy is moved in the direction of the buffer roller.
Buffer roller
1st copy
Figure 2-213
2) The first copy wraps around the buffer roller and, at the same time, the second copy arrives
from the copier.
1st copy 2nd copy
Figure 2-214

3) The second copy is laid over the first copy.
1st copy 2nd copy
Figure 2-215
4) The first and second copies are simultaneously delivered to the tray. Or, they are pulled into the
stapling tray.
Figure 2-216
Cauiton:
The second copy as explained here is moved through the large-size paper path. The fact is omitted
from the discussion to avoid interrupting the sequence of operations.

C. Feeding and Delivering

1. Outline
The finisher moves copies arriving from the copier to the normal tray, interrupt tray, or the
saddle stitcher unit (Saddle Finisher-C2) according to the mode of delivery. On the trays, the copies
are subjected to job offset or stapling as instructed by the copier.
The feed motor (M1) is a stepping motor, and the delivery motor (M2) is a DC motor. These
motors are controlled by the microprocessor (CPU) on the finisher controller PCB, and rotate either
clockwise or counterclockwise.
The paper paths are equipped with the following five sensors for detection of paper (arrival,
passage):
● Inlet sensor (PI1)
● Delivery sensor (PI3)
● Stapling tray sensor (PI4)
● Buffer path paper sensor (PI14)
● Buffer path inlet paper sensor (PI17)
In addition, each delivery tray is equipped with a sensor designed to detect the presence/ab-
sence of paper on it.
● No 1 tray paper sensor (PI11)
● No. 2 tray paper sensor (PI12)
● No. 3 tray paper sensor (PI13)
If a copy fails to reach or move past each sensor within a specific period of time, the finisher
controller PCB identifies the condition as a jam, and stops the ongoing operation and at the same
time informs the copier of the condition.

D. Job Offset
1. Outline
In job offset mode, the first copy or the last copy is shifted to the front for delivery to the tray.
Other copies are delivered to the tray without a shift.
The copies are shifted by the alignment plate. The alignment plate is checked by the alignment
home position sensor (PI6) to find out whether it is in home position.
The finisher drive PCB drives the alignment plate motor (M3) at power-on to return the align-
ment plate to its home position.
The finisher controller PCB stops the delivery motor (M2) when the trailing edge of the copy
has moved past the feed roller 2. Then, the finisher controller PCB rotates the delivery motor coun-
terclockwise, thereby switching the gear assembly of the delivery motor to the swing guide mecha-
nism. As a result, the drive of the delivery motor is transmitted to the swing guide to move up the
guide. When the swing guide open sensor (PI18) detects the swing guide, the delivery motor stops,
and the swing guide is held in up position.
When the swing guide has moved up, the feed belts attached to the feed roller 2 move the copy
to the stapling tray. The presence of paper on the stapling tray is monitored by the stapling tray
paper sensor (PI4).
The finisher controller PCB drives the alignment motor (M3) in advance, and keeps the align-
ment plate in wait at a point 7 mm behind the trailing edge of a sheet. When the sheet is moved to
the stapling tray, the guide plate retaining solenoid (SL6) moves the guide plate away and under the
stapling tray. Thereafter, the alignment motor shifts the sheet to the front by 30 mm.
When the copy has been shifted, the finisher controller PCB rotates the alignment motor coun-
terclockwise to move the alignment plate to a point 7 mm behind the trailing edge of the sheet.
Thereafter, the delivery motor is rotated farther counterclockwise to move the swing guide
down. When the swing guide has moved down and turned on the swing guide open/closed detecting
switch 2 (MS6), the delivery motor rotates clockwise to deliver the sheet. The guide plate returns to
up position upon delivery of the sheet.

E. Stapling Operation
1. Outline
The stapler unit staples a stack of as many sheets as specified.
The stapling position differs according to the selected staple mode and paper size.
The stapler unit is checked by the stapler shift home position sensor (PI7) to find out whether it
is in home position.
When starting operation after power-on, the finisher driver PCB drives the stapler shift motor
(M4) to return the stapler unit to home position. If the stapler is already in home position, it is kept
as it is in wait.

2. First Sheet
The finisher controller PCB stops the delivery motor (M2) as soon as the trailing edge of the
first sheet has moved past the delivery roller. Then, it rotates the delivery motor clockwise to switch
the gear drive to the swing guide mechanism, causing the swing guide to move up. When the swing
guide open sensor (PI18) finds the swing guide in up position, the delivery motor stops, thereby
maintaining the swing guide in up position.
When the swing guide has moved up, the feed belts of the feed roller 2 move the sheet to the
stapling tray. The presence of paper on the stapling tray is detected by the stapling tray paper sensor
(PI4).
The finisher controller PCB drives the alignment plate shift motor (M3) when the stapling tray
paper sensor has detected paper to put sheets in order. The alignment plate is kept in wait in advance
at a point 10 mm behind the trailing edge of the paper.
The swing guide is kept in wait in up position until the last sheet is deposited on the stapling
tray.

3. 2nd and Subsequent Sheets

The finisher controller PCB turns on the paddle solenoid (SL5) as soon as the trailing edge of
the second and subsequent sheets have moved past the feed roller 2, thereby causing the drive of the
feed motor to rotate the paddle.
The sheets are pushed by the paddle and moved to the stapling tray. The paddle operates twice
for each sheet of B4, A3, 297 × 432mm (11 × 17), or LGL and once for other sizes. When the sheet
has been deposited to the stapling tray, the finisher controller PCB rotates the alignment plate shift
motor (M3) to put the sheets in order.

4. Last Sheet
When the last sheet has been put into order, the finisher controller PCB turns on the alignment
motor (M3) to move the alignment plate to the alignment position (to butt the plate against the
stack). Then, the finisher controller PCB rotates the delivery motor (M2) counterclockwise to move
down the swing guide.
The finisher controller PCB moves the stapler according to the staple mode selected on the
copier for stapling.
When stapling operation ends, the finisher controller PCB drives the alignment motor, and
moves the alignment plate to a point 10 mm behind the trailing edge of the paper. Thereafter, it
rotates the delivery motor (M2) clockwise to delivery the stack to the tray.
Figure 2-230

Swing guide
Delivery roller
Delivery motor (M2)
Figure 2-240
F. Stapler Unit
Stapling is executed by the stapler motor (M6). A single rotation of the cam by the motor results
in one stapling operation.
The cam is checked by the stapling home position sensor (PI21) to find out whether it is in
home position.
The stapler motor is controlled by the microprocessor (Q1) on the finisher controller so that it
is rotated clockwise or counterclockwise.
When the stapling home position sensor is off, the finisher controller PCB rotates the stapler
motor counterclockwise until the sensor turns on so as to return the stapling cam to its initial state.
The presence/absence of a staple cartridge is detected by the staple cartridge detecting switch
(MS8).
The presence/absence of staples inside the staple cartridge is detected by the staple detecting
switch (MS9). The staple edge sensor (PI20) is used to find out whether a staple has been edged out
to the end of the cartridge.
The finisher controller PCB does not drive the stapler motor (M6) unless the swing guide
closed detecting switch 2 (MS6) is on (i.e., the swing guide is closed). This is to protect against
injuries that could occur as when a finger is stuck inside the stapler.

5. Shifting the Stapler Unit

The stapler unit is moved by the stapler shift motor (M4). Its home position is detected by the
stapler shift home position sensor (PI7). When the start signal arrives from the host copier, the
stapler moves to the center of its movement range. This movement occurs regardless of the selected
mode of delivery, as no specific mode is recognized at this point in time.
When the command for stapling arrives from the host copier after the first sheet has reached the
copier pre-registration sensor, the stapler moves to the staple wait position to suit the appropriate
stapling position and paper size.
See Figures 2-244 and later for an idea of wait position according to stapling mode.

G. Tray Operation
The finisher has three delivery trays for normal delivery, each accepting sheets.
Each tray is moved up and down by the tray lift motor (M5).
The position of the tray is identified with reference to the number of clock pulses of the tray lift
motor clock sensor 1/2 (PI19/PI9) coming from the tray home position sensor (PI8). The finisher
controller PCB finds out in which direction (up or down) the tray is moving based on combinations
of pulses from the two clock sensors.
The tray lift motor is equipped with a thermal sensor (TP1). If the sensor reading reaches about
73.5 C when the motor has operated continuously, the finisher controller PCB stops motor loads.
The sensor turns off when its reading drops to about 40 C, causing the finisher driver PCB to return
motor loads.
The finisher controller PCB drives the tray lift motor (M5) to return the tray to home position at
power-on. If the tray is already in home position, it is kept in wait as it is.
The finisher driver PCB moves up and down the tray selected by the copier so that it is posi-
tioned at the delivery slot.
The upper limit of the tray is detected by the tray upper limit detecting switch (MS5). The
finisher controller PCB stops the drive (up) of the tray lift motor (M5) as soon as the tray upper limit
detecting switch turns on.
The height of the stack on the tray is identified by the height sensor (PS1), which measures its
distance from the top of the stack. The tray is moved down when the distance between the top of the
stack and the delivery assembly drops to a specific measurement.
The finisher driver PCB cuts off the +24V power of the tray lift motor (M5) as soon as the
safety zone detecting switch (MS3) turns on while the shutter and the swing guide are open, thereby
stopping the operation of the finisher.

H. Detecting the Height of the Stack on the Tray

1. Outline
The number of sheets delivered to the tray and the number of sets (stapling or job offset opera-
tions) are stored in memory by the finisher controller PCB. The height of the stack is checked by the
height sensor (PS1). See Table 2-202 for the maximum loading capacity of each tray.
The finisher controller PCB stops operation when the conditions in Table 2-202 occur, inform-
ing the host copier that the tray is full.

Height sensor (PS1)

Figure 2-250
2. Manual Feed Tray Height Control Mode

The height sensor (PS1) is adjusted so that it takes measurements with reference to the light
reflected (diffused) by plain paper. The light reflected by a transparency, however, behaves as if it is
reflected by a mirror, causing the sensor to provide a reading about 30 mm lower than the height of
a plain paper stack-this ultimately causes the machine to control the height of the tray higher than
an optimum height.
To make up for the discrepancy, the height of the tray is controlled as follows during manual
feed pick-up mode, which is believed to be used most often for transparencies.
a. When sheets for manual feed pick-up are stacked on the tray, the optimum height as detected by
the height sensor is lowered by about 30 mm. This way, the tray will be controlled to an
appropriate height when transparencies are stacked. (The height will be lower by about 30 mm
from the optimum height if plain paper is stacked.)
b. The height of the stack will not be adjusted during continuous stacking operation in manual
feed mode. (Because of the limited number of sheets in continuous stacking mode, stacking
will not be hindered without height adjustment.) However, the height of the stack will still be
adjusted at the start of copying operation. Moreover, the height will also be adjusted for sta-
pling operation.
c. The mode ends when cassette pick-up operation starts after removal of all paper from the tray.
The mode resumes when manual feed pick-up operation start once again.
Reference:
If the tray is controlled to a lower height when plain paper is stacked, sheets of certain special types or
sizes can jam easily. To avoid such a problem, the machine is designed so that the manual feed tray
height control mode may be disabled. For instructions, see Chapter 6.

I. Shutter Operation
The finisher controller PCB closes the shutter mounted to the delivery slot before moving the
tray, thereby preventing trapping the existing stack on the tray by the delivery slot and intrusion of
the hands.
The shutter moves up (to close) when the feed motor (M1) rotates counterclockwise, and is
held in position when the motor stops. When the feed motor rotates counterclockwise once again, it
moves down (to open) to enable delivery.
When the shutter is held in up position, claws slide out of the swing guide to engage the back of
the shutter. This way, the existing stack and the swing guide engage while the tray is moved, thereby
preventing the guide from opening. The claws slide in when the shutter is moved down to release
the engagement.
The upward movement of the shutter is monitored by the shutter closed detecting switch (MS4),
and the downward movement is monitored by the shutter open sensor (PI5).
See the diagrams that follow for how these operations take place.
1) The feed motor rotates counterclockwise to move up the shutter.
M1

2) The tray lift motor rotates, and the new tray moves to the stacking lower limit. The distance of
movement is detected by the tray shift motor clock sensor 1/2 (PI19/9).

J. Buffer Path Operation

1. Outline
When handling sheets A4, B5, or LTR in size, the finisher moves them through the buffer path
without stopping the copier even when job offset operation is taking place as follows:
1) When the first sheet arrives, the buffer inlet flapper solenoid (SL2) turns on to switch to the
buffer path. The switch-over occurs when the sheet of the previous job moves to the buffer inlet
flapper or the sheet has reached the copier pre-registration sensor.
Figure 2-257
2) The first sheet enters the buffer path.
Buffer inlet paper

sensor (PI7)
1st sheet

3) When the leading edge of the sheet has moved past the buffer inlet paper sensor (PI7), the
buffer outlet solenoid (SL3) turns on so as to cause the sheet to wrap around the buffer roller.

4) When the leading edge of the sheet has moved past the buffer path paper sensor (PI14) by about
50 mm, the buffer roller stops and waits for the second sheet.

5) When the second sheet arrives and its leading edge reaches the buffer inlet sensor (PI7), the
buffer roller starts to operate once again. At the same time, the buffer outlet solenoid (SL3)
turns off so that the path is directed in the direction of delivery. (The actual switch-over will
occur after the trailing edge of the first sheet has moved past the flapper.)

large-size paper path.)

K. Interrupt Tray Delivery

1. Outline
When delivery to the interrupt tray is selected on the copier, the finisher delivers sheets to the
interrupt tray as follows:
1) When the first sheet arrives, the buffer inlet flapper solenoid (SL2) and the interrupt tray sole-
noid (SL4) turn on to switch to the feeding route for interrupt tray delivery. The switch-over
occurs as soon as the sheet of the previous job has moved past the buffer inlet flapper or the
sheet for interrupt delivery has reached the copier pre-registration sensor.
Figure 2-265
2) The first sheet enters the interrupt tray delivery route and then is delivered.
Figure 2-266

3) As many sheets as arrive from the copier are delivered through the same route.
Figure 2-267
4) When the last sheet moves past the buffer path inlet sensor, the buffer path inlet solenoid and
the interrupt solenoid turn off. (However, they remain on if the next sheet is expected to move
through the large-size path.)

L. Detecting Jams
The following sensors are used to detect the presence/absence of paper and to make sure that
sheets are moved properly.
● Inlet sensor (PI1)
● Delivery sensor (PI3)
● Stapling tray sensor (PI4)
● Buffer path paper sensor (PI14)
● Buffer path inlet paper sensor (PI7)
A jam is identified with reference to the presence/absence of paper at each specific sensor at
such times as programmed in the memory of the microprocessor (CPU) on the finisher driver PCB.
When the CPU identifies a jam, it suspends the finisher’s delivery operation and informs the
options controller of the presence of a jam.
The tray 1 paper sensor (PI11), tray 2 paper sensor (PI12), and tray 3 paper sensor (PI13) are
not used to detect jams.

III. POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM

1. Outline
The finisher controller PCB is supplied with 24 VDC power (two channels) when the copier is
turned on: of the two channels, one is used to drive the motor solenoids, while the other is used for
sensors and ICs on PCBs after being turned into 5 VDC by the work of the regulator IC (Q9) on the
finisher controller PCB. Both channels are also used to feed power from the finisher controller PCB
to the saddle stitcher controller PCB.
Some of the 24 VDC power used to drive motors are cut off when the door switch (MS1) is
open. The power to the saddle stitcher controller PCB, however, will not be cut off.
Figure 2-301 is a block diagram showing the power supply system. The finisher controller PCB
is equipped with a battery (BAT101) for retention of memory.

2. Protection Functions
The 24 VDC power channel used to drive motors and solenoids are equipped with a circuit
breaker (CB1) for protection against overcurrent. The 24 V channel used to drive the feed motor
(M1), alignment motor (M3), and stapler shift motor (M4) are equipped with a fuse, which is
designed to melt in the presence of overcurrent.
Note:
Replace the lithium battery only with the one listed in the Parts Catalog. Use of different battery may
present a risk of fire or explosion. The battery may present a fire or chemical burn hazard if mistreated.
Do not recharge, disassemble, or dispose of it in fire.
Keep the battery out of reach of children and discard any used battery promptly.

sequence of operations and to handle serial communications with the finisher controller PCB, driv-
ing solenoids and motors in response to the various commands from the finisher controller PCB.
The saddle stitcher controller PCB is also used to communicate the state of various sensors and
switches to the finisher controller PCB in serial.
The functions of the major ICs mounted on the saddle stitcher controller PCB are as follows:
● Q1
Controls the sequence of operations.

● Q2
Contains the sequence program.

● Q3
Controls the sequence of operations.

The stitcher unit aligns the sheets coming from the finisher unit and stitches the resulting stack
for delivery to the delivery tray according to the commands coming through the finisher controller
PCB.
The machine’s operation consists of the following:
1. Receives sheets.
2. Aligns the sheets.
3. Stitches the stack.
4. Feeds the stack.
5. Folds and delivers the stack.

1. Receiving Sheets
The stitcher unit receives sheets from the finisher unit and deposits them inside the vertical path
in vertical orientation.
The vertical path while sheets are being deposited is configured by two paper deflecting plates.
The position of the sheets being deposited is set by the paper positioning plate so that the center
of the stack matches the stapling/folding position.
Sheets coming later are deposited closer to the delivery slot, and the volume of paper that may
be deposited is as follows:
● 15 sheets (maximum of 14 sheets of 80 g/m2 + 1 sheet of 128 g/m2)

The alignment plates operate to put the sheets in order each time a sheet of paper is deposited in
the vertical path assembly. The alignment plates are mounted at the edges of the vertical path assembly.
The alignment plates also operate after stapling to prepare the stack for delivery.
Sheets
Alignment plate Alignment plate
Figure 3-203

3. Stitching
When all sheets have been deposited, the two stitchers stitch the stack. The stitchers are posi-
tioned so that they face the center of a stack.
The two stitchers are not operated simultaneously so as to avoid wrinkling the paper between
two staples and to limit the load on the power supply.
If no more than one sheet of paper arrives from the copier, no stitching operation takes place
and the sequence goes to the next operation (stack feeding).

4. Feeding the Stack

The unit folds the stitched stack of sheets and then feeds it to the point of delivery, which is
where the center of the stack, i.e., stapling position, matches the height of the paper pushing plate
and the folding roller nip.
The stack is moved forward by operating the paper positioning plate. When the plate is oper-
ated, the guide plate which has been covering the folding rollers, also moves down so that the
folding rollers directly face the stack.

5. Folding/Delivering the Stack

The paper pushing plate pushes against the center of the stack to move it in the direction of the
folding rollers. In response, the folding rollers pick the stack along its center and fold it in two. The
folding rollers together with the delivery roller then move the stack along to deposit it on the deliv-
ery tray.

III. PAPER DEPOSITING MECHANISM

A. Outline
The paper depositing mechanism serves to keep a stack of sheets coming from the finisher in
place for the next steps (stapling, folding).
The paper inlet is equipped with the No. 1 flapper and the No. 2 flapper, which operate to
configure the paper path to suit the size of sheets. The paper positioning plate is kept in wait at a
pre-determined location to suit the size of paper. The paper positioning plate is driven by the paper
positioning plate motor (M4S), and the position of the plate is identified in reference to the number
of motor pulses coming from the paper positioning plate home position sensor (PI7).
A sheet moved by the inlet roller is handled by the feed rollers and the crescent roller and held
in specific position. The feed rollers serve to move sheets by coming into contact with or away from
sheets as needed.
The alignment plates put the stack into order each time a sheet is deposited. The alignment
plates are driven by the alignment motor (M4S), and its position is identified in reference to the
number of motor pulses coming from the alignment plate home position sensor (PI5).
To prevent interference between paper and the folding rollers when the paper is being depos-
ited, the folding rollers are designed to be covered by a guide plate. The guide plate moves down
before paper is folded so as to expose the folding rollers.
The inlet is equipped with the No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 sensors (PI1A, PI2Al, PI3A), each suited
to a specific paper size, and the paper positioning plate is equipped with a paper positioning plate
paper sensor (PI8).

B. Controlling the Inlet Flappers

1. Outline
The two flappers mounted at the paper inlet are operated to configure the feed path according to
the size of paper. The flappers are used to enable the following:
1. To detect the passage of the trailing edge of the paper being moved by an appropriate sensor.
2. To prevent the following sheet from butting against the top of the existing stack.
The relationship between sensors and paper sizes is as shown in Table 3-301.

C. Controlling the Movement of Sheets

When the leading edge of a sheet has moved past the inlet flapper, the intermediate feed roller
and the crescent roller start to move the sheet forward.
The intermediate feed roller is normally not in contact with the path bed. When the leading
edge of a sheet reaches the intermediate feed roller contact section, the feed roller press solenoid
(SL4S) causes the roller to come into contact with the path bed so as to move the sheet. The contact
is broken as soon as the leading edge of the sheet reaches the paper positioning plate. This series of
operations is executed each time a sheet arrives.
When the leading edge of the first sheet reaches the paper positioning plate, the paper position-
ing plate paper sensor (PI8) turns on. The arrival of the second and subsequent sheets will not be
checked since the first sheet will still be over the sensor.
The crescent roller keeps rotating while sheets are being deposited, thereby butting the leading
edge of each sheet against the paper positioning plate and, ultimately, keeping the leading edge of
the stack in order.
The alignment plate motor (M5S) drives the alignment plates for each sheet so as to put both
right and left edges of the sheet in order.

D. Aligning the Sheets

The alignment plate motor (M5S) drives the alignment plates each time a sheet is deposited,
thereby putting both right and left edges of the sheet in order. The alignment plate motor is a 4-
phase stepping motor. The position of the alignment plate is identified in reference to the number of
motor pulses from the alignment plate home position sensor (PI7).
Go through the descriptions that follow for an idea of what takes place when the saddle stitch-
ing mechanism operates on two sheets.
1) When the first sheet has been deposited, the alignment plates butt against the right and left
edges of the stack (first alignment).
The alignment plates leave home position in advance and remain in wait at points 10 m from
the edges of the stack.

3) The alignment plates escape to points 10 mm from the edges of the stack.

4) When the following stack arrives, the foregoing steps 1 through 3 are repeated.
5) The alignment plates butt against the stack once again, during which stitching takes place.

6) The alignment plates escape to points 10 mm from the edges of the stack, after which folding
and delivery take place.

a point 10 mm from the edge of the stack to be ready for the next alignment operation.

E. Controlling the Phase of the Crescent Roller

1. Outline
If alignment was executed while the crescent roller is in contact with the stack of sheets, the
resulting friction against the roller causes the stack to move inappropriately (Figure 3-317). To
prevent such a problem, the phase of the roller is identified and used to determine the timing of
alignment operation.
The phase of the crescent roller is identified by the crescent roller phase sensor (PI12S). The
flag for the crescent roller phase sensor is mounted to the crescent roller shaft. The flag will leave
the sensor while the roller shaft rotates, turning on or off the sensor, enabling the assumption that
the crescent roller is positioned at the opposite side of the stack (Figure 3-319). The alignment
plates are operated to correspond with this change in the state of the sensor.

IV. STITCHING SYSTEM

1. Outline
The stitching system “stitches” the center of a deposited stack with staples.
To enable stitching at two locations on a stack, two stitcher units (front, rear) are used, each
stitcher being equipped with a stitcher home position sensor (PS4, PS2) for detection of position
and a stapler sensor (PS3, PS1) for detection of the presence/absence of a staple.
The stitcher base is designed so that it may be drawn out to the front from the saddle stitcher for
replacement of the staple cartridge or removal of a staple jam. The stitcher unit in sensor (PI16S) is
used to make sure that the stitcher base is properly fitted to the saddle stitcher.
No safety switch is mounted for the stitcher unit (front, rear), as the location does not allow
access by the user.
Stitcher (rear)
Stitcher (front)
Stack
Figure 3-401

2. Stitcher Unit Operation

The stitcher base unit consists of two stitchers and stitcher bases. The stitchers are fixed in
position, and are not designed to slide or swing.
Stitching operation is executed by driving the rotary cam by the stitch motor (M7S, M6S). The
front and rear stitcher units are operated with a delay in time so as to prevent wrinkling of paper and
to limit the load imposed on the power supply. (A delay in time for initiating the stitcher motor
start-up current helps decrease the load on the power supply.)
The stitching home position sensor (PS4, PS2) is used to monitor the movement of the rotary
cam, thereby enabling the identification of a single operation of the stitcher. The presence/absence
of staples inside the staple cartridge fitted to the stitcher is detected by the staple sensor (PS3, PS1).
The alignment plates keep both edges of the stack in place while stitching takes place.

V. FOLDING/DELIVERY SYSTEM
1. Outline
The paper folding mechanism consists of a guide plate, folding rollers, paper pushing plate,
and paper positioning plate.
The guide plate is used to cover the folding rollers while sheets are deposited so as to prevent
sheets from coming into contact with the folding rollers during deposit.
Before the stack is folded, the guide plate moves down to enable the folding rollers to operate.
The folding rollers are driven by the folding motor (M2S), and the drive of the motor is monitored
by the folder motor clock sensor (PI4S).
The paper pushing plate is driven by the paper pushing plate motor (M8S), and the drive of the
paper pushing plate motor is monitored by the paper pushing plate motor clock sensor (PI1S). The
paper pushing plate home position sensor (PI14S) and the paper pushing plate top position sensor
(PI15S) are used to detect the position of the paper pushing plate.
After being folded into two by the folding rollers, a stack is moved ahead by the delivery roller
for delivery. The delivery roller is driven by the folding motor. The delivery sensor (PI11S) is
mounted to the delivery assembly to detect delivery of paper. The tray paper sensor (PI6S) is used
to detect the presence/absence of paper on the tray, but does not detect jams. The vertical path
sensor (PI17S) serves to detect the presence of paper after jam removal.
2. Controlling the Movement of Stacks

When a stack has been stitched (2 points), the paper positioning plate lowers so that the stack
will move to where the folding rollers come into contact with it and where the paper pushing plate
is located. The position of the paper positioning plate is controlled in reference to the number of
motor pulses coming from the paper positioning home position sensor (PI7).
At the same time as the paper positioning plate operates, the guide plate lowers so that folding
may take place.

ends number of pulses

3. Folding a Stack
A stack is folded by the work of the folding rollers and the paper pushing plate.
The paper pushing plate pushes against the center of a stack toward the roller contact section.
The paper pushing plate starts at its home position and waits at the leading edge position until the
stack has been drawn to the folding roller and is gripped for a length of 10 mm.
When the folding roller has gripped the stack for a length of about 10 mm, the paper pushing
plate motor starts to rotate once again, and the paper pushing plate returns to home position. The
stack so picked by the folding roller is drawn farther by the folding roller and then is moved by the
delivery roller to the paper tray.

4. Double Folding a Stack

To fold a stack consisting of 10 or more A4R or LTR-R sheets, folding is executed twice for the
same stack.
The folding rollers rotate in reverse for an equivalent of 20 mm after gripping the stack for a
length of 20 mm, enabling the folding rollers to apply an increased degree of pressure along the
crease on the stack. Then, the folding rollers rotate normally, and the paper pushing plate returns to
home position while the stack is being delivered.
This way, a stack requiring a large force may properly be folded with less pressure.

7. Stitcher Staple Jam

When the stitcher motor (M7S/M6S) is rotating clockwise, the stitcher home position sensor
(PS4S/PS2S) does not turn on within 0.5 sec after it has turned off but, in addition, the sensor turns
on within 0.5 sec after the motor has been rotated counterclockwise.
Reference:
When all doors are closed after the user has removed the jam, the saddle stitcher unit checks whether
the vertical path paper sensor (PI17S) has detected paper or not. If the sensor has detected paper, the
unit will identify the condition as being faulty jam removal and send the jam signal to the copier once
again.

VII.POWER SUPPLY
1. Outline
When the copier’s power switch is turned on, two channels of 24V power are supplied by the
finisher controller PCB.
Of the two 24V channels, one is used to drive solenoids: the 24V power from the finisher
controller PCB to a solenoid does not go through any protective mechanisms (microswitches, or the
like).
The 24V power to a motor, on the other hand, will not be supplied if any of the three door
switches is open.
The 24V channel is used for the generation of 5V power intended for sensors.

2. Points To Note When Mounting the

Swing Unit
Keep the following in mind when fitting the
swinging unit into the finisher frame:
2.1 Swing Unit Inlet Guide and the Buffer

Outlet Roll
Fit the swing guide to the frame, being care-
ful so that the swing unit inlet guide edge 1 will
[2]
not ride over the buffer outlet roll [2].
[1]
Figure 4-205A
To facilitate the work, insert a screwdriver

[4] into the hole in the side plate of the buffer [3]
unit [3], and work after releasing the buffer unit.
[4]
Figure 4-206A

2.2 Swing Unit Inlet Guide and the Buffer

Base Plate [2]
After releasing the buffer unit, fit the swing
guide to the frame, being careful so that the
swing unit inlet guide edge 1 will not ride over
the buffer base plate 2.
[1]
Figure 4-207A
2.3 Shutter Bar Position

The shutter bar 1 of the swing guide must
be in bottom position (Figure 2-4). It must not
be in top position (Figure 2-5); otherwise, the [1]
shutter link of the lattice guide (lower) and the
shutter bar will not engage correctly later.
To ensure that the shutter bar will be in bot-
tom position, correct the position before fitting
the swing guide to the frame. To do so, turn the
one-way cam 3 found at the end of the feeding
roller 2 in the direction of the arrow until it stops.
