The following rules apply throughout this Service Manual:
1. Each chapter contains sections explaining the purpose of specic functions and the
relationship between electrical and mechanical systems with reference to the timing of
operation.
In the diagrams, represents the path of mechanical drive; where a signal
name accompanies the symbol, the arrow
indicates the direction of the
electric signal.
The expression "turn on the power" means ipping on the power switch, closing the
front door, and closing the delivery unit door, which results in supplying the machine with
power.
Check the noise.Use the bundled part.
Disconnect the connector.Push the part.
Connect the connector.Plug the power cable.
Remove the cable/wire
from the cable guide or wire
saddle.
Set the cable/wire to the
cable guide or wire saddle.
Remove the screw.
Turn on the power.
2. In the digital circuits, '1' is used to indicate that the voltage level of a given signal is
"High", while '0' is used to indicate "Low". (The voltage value, however, differs from
circuit to circuit.) In addition, the asterisk (*) as in "DRMD*" indicates that the DRMD
signal goes on when '0'.
In practically all cases, the internal mechanisms of a microprocessor cannot be checked
in the eld. Therefore, the operations of the microprocessors used in the machines
are not discussed: they are explained in terms of from sensors to the input of the DC
controller PCB and from the output of the DC controller PCB to the loads.
The descriptions in this Service Manual are subject to change without notice for product
improvement or other purposes, and major changes will be communicated in the form of
Service Information bulletins.
All service persons are expected to have a good understanding of the contents of this Service
Manual and all relevant Service Information bulletins and be able to identify and isolate faults
in the machine.
Tighten the screw.

The nisher controller PCB drives the various loads (motors, solenoids) of the machine in
response to the commands from the host machine (copier), and indicates the states of the
sensors and switches to the host machine.
It also serves to control the punch unit and the saddle nisher controller PCB.

Tray Ascent/Descent Control
The tray A/B is moved up or down by controlling 2 motors (M22, M23) in response to the
instructions from the nisher controller.
The machine uses 2 sensors (PS34, PS35) to check for faults in these motors.
The sensor monitors the rotation of the motors; when any of the following occurs, the nisher
controller PCB will stop the drive to the motor and, at the same time, will communicate the
fact to the host machine:
Related Error Code
• E540 (fault in tray A)
While the tray A motor (M22) is rotating, the tray A lift motor rotation detection signal is
absent for 250 msec or more.
• E542 (fault in tray A)
While the tray B motor (M23) is rotating, the tray B lift motor rotation detection signal is
absent for 250 msec or more.

Technology > Stacking Unit > Auxiliary Tray Lift Control
Auxiliary Tray Lift Control
In response to an increase in the number of folded sheets in the tray, the auxiliary tray is
moved up to prevent a delivery jam associated with the tray B (memo) by making sure that
the lead and trail edges of the stacks deposited in the tray will be even.
The auxiliary tray is moved by operating the solenoid (SL9) according to the instructions from
the nisher controller PCB.
NOTE:
A stack with a folded sheet tends to be higher along its lead edge than its trail edge,
blocking the discharge slot when it contains multiple folded sheets. (A subsequent
sheet will likely hit the preceding sheet, causing a jam.)

Tray Paper Surface Detection
The machine is equipped with a mechanism to detect the position of the top of the stack
deposited in its 2 trays.
The trays are each tted with a sensor PCB that consists of a light-emitting segment (UN15,
UN17) and a light-receiving segment (UN16, UN18).
The light-emitting segment is arranged at the rear of the machine, and is a LED. The lightreceiving segment, on the other hand, is found at the front of the machine, and it consists of 3
photosensors.
When the power is turned on or a jam has been removed, the nisher controller PCB checks
the 3 photosensors (light-receiving segment) as soon as the LED (lightemitting segment)
goes on.
As more and more sheets are deposited in the tray, the light reaching the light-receiving
segments will be blocked, causing the nisher controller PCB to move down the tray to keep
the top of the stack at a specic level.
When the tray becomes full of paper (i.e., light blocked, not reaching any of the 3
photosensors), the nisher controller PCB switches over to a different tray for subsequent
delivery. If the newly selected tray is full, it will stop the operation of the machine, and will
indicate the fact to the host machine.

Feeding Unit
Overview
The machine's transport block serves to move paper to the stacking block or the saddle
stitcher block according to the instructions from the nisher controller PCB.
It also is used in conjunction with horizontal registration adjustment and alignment operation.
The machine uses 6 sensors to check for jams in the paper path.
