This Service Manual contains basic facts and figures needed to service the ADF-J1 in the
field, and it consists of the following chapters:
Chapter 1General Description:features, specifications, methods of operation
Chapter 2Outline of Operation:mechanical systems by function, electrical systems
in reference to principles of operation, timing of operation; construction and outline of electrical circuitry
Chapter 3Mechanical Systemsconstruction of mechanical systems; disassembly,
assembly, and adjustments
Chapter 4Maintenance and Inspection:
periodically replacement parts, durables and
consumables; scheduled servicing chart
Chapter 5Troubleshootingstandards, adjustments, troubleshooting tables
Appendix:general timing chart, list of signals/abbreviations,
general circuit diagrams
For installation, refer to the Installation Procedure found in the shipping box; this manual
The descriptions in this Service Manual are based on he following rules:
1.In each chapter, the uses of the function in question and its relationship to electrical and
mechanical systems are discussed and the timing of operation of its associated parts is
explained by means of outlines and diagrams.
In the diagrams, the symbol
represents a mechanical path, while the symbol
with a name next to it indicates the flow of an electric signal.
The expression “turn on the power” means turning on the power switch, closing the
front door, and closing the delivery door so that the machine will be supplied with
power.
2.In circuit diagrams (digital), a signal whose level is High is expressed as being ‘1’,
while a single whose level is Low is expressed as being ‘0’; the level of voltage, however, varies from circuit to circuit.
The machine uses CPUs, whose internal mechanisms cannot be checked in the field,
and, therefore, are not explained. In addition, the machine’s PCBs are not intended for
repairs at the user’s and, therefore, are explained by means of block diagrams: two types
are used, i.e., between sensors and inputs of PCBs equipped with a control or drive function and between outputs equipped with a control or drive function and loads; in addition, functional block diagrams are used at times.
Changes made to the machine for product improvement are communicated in the form of
a Service Information bulletin as needed. All ser vice persons are expected to go through all
service documentation including the bulletins and be equipped to respond to the needs of the
field (as by being able to identify possible causes of problems).

The machine is not equipped with a controller PCB; it, however, has a driver PCB. Its
electrical mechanisms are controlled by the controller PCB of its host machine (CPU identified as IC1).
The CPU of the host machine interprets the input signals from sensors, and sends signals
to the machine’s driver PCB to drive the loads (motor, clutch, solenoid) at such times as programmed in advance.
2.3.2 Detecting the Presence/Absence of an Original
The presence/absence of an original in the original tray is detected by the original placement sensor (PI6). The detecting lever operates in conjunction with the light-blocking plate.
When an original is placed in the original tray, the light from the photointerrupter is
blocked, thereby causing the original placement sensor (PI6) to generate the original placement signal (SET).

2.3.3 Detecting the Last Original
The last original sensor (PI1) and the registration sensor (PI7) are used to find out
whether or not the original being picked is the last original.
When the last original has been picked up and its trailing edge moves past the last original
detecting lever, the detecting lever blocks the light of the photointerrupter while operating in
association with the light-blocking plate. At this time, if the leading edge of the original is as
far as the registration sensor (PI7), the last original sensor (PI1) generates the last original
detection signal (LENG1) to communicate to the host machine that the original in question
is the last from the stack in the original tray.
The length of an original in feed direction is detect by the length sensor 1 (PI1) and the
length sensor 2 (PI2). When an original is placed in the original tray, the detecting levers of
these 2 length sensors operate in conjunction with the light-blocking plate to block the light
of the photointerrupter.
In mixed original size mode, however the length is detected based on the number of lines
read by the scanner connected to it.
The width of an original is detected using the width sensor 1 (PI4) and the width sensor 2
(PI5) found in the original tray in relation to the slide guide, whose movement will block or
unblock the light of the photointerrupter.
When an original is placed in the original tray and the Start key is pressed, the machine
will go through the following sequence:
a.Pickup
When the electromagnetic clutch goes ON and the feed motor (M1) rotates clockwise, the
pickup roller moves down, and the separation roller and the pickup roller start to rotate to
pick up an original; then, the stopper moves up in conduction.
The pre-separation pad and the separation pad serve to prevent double feeding of originals.

b.Feeding
The rollers found beyond the pull-off roller rotate at a speed about 50% higher than the
separation roller. When the original reaches the pull-off roller, its movement grows faster,
thereby causing the pickup roller and the separation roller to rotate in conjunction.
When the leading edge of the original reaches read wait position, the machine sends the
image leading edge signal to its host machine to start stream reading; thereafter, the delivery
roller operates to delivery the original.
In stream reading, the host machine’s scanner is fixed in place, and the original is moved
over the scanner glass for scanning.

d.End of Pickup for the 1st Original
When the trailing edge of the original moves past the pickup roller, the pickup roller will
come into contact with the 2nd original. However, since the separation roller is pulled by the
1st original at a higher speed than its drive shaft, the spring clutch mounted to the shaft
slips, transmitting the drive and preventing the rotation of the pickup roller and, as a result,
not picking up the 2nd original.
When the trailing edge of the original leaves the separation roller, the spring clutch trans-
mits the drive, causing the pickup roller to rotate to pick up the 2nd original.

f. Returning the Pickup Roller to Standby Position
When the last original moves past the original sensor and a specific period of time passes
thereafter, the electromagnetic clutch goes OFF and the feed motor stops.
When the electromagnetic clutch goes ON and the feed motor starts to rotate in reverse,
the pickup roller is returned to standby position, at the end of which the feeder motor and
the electromagnetic clutch goes OFF.
The machine uses a single stepping motor to pick up, separate, and move originals. Its
pickup assembly is equipped with 6 spring clutches which operate in various ways in relation to the direction of motor rotation as follows; the arrows in the diagrams indicates the
direction of rotation.
Down
Up
F02-204-07
a.SPCL 1 (preventing the pickup roller from moving down)
In standby, the pickup roller must be kept in up position. While the pickup roller remain
in up position, its own weight tries to force the clutch shaft to rotate clockwise; this, however, is prevented by the tightening of SPCL1, which makes a connection to the serials of
gears linked to the motor.
The drive occurring as a result of clockwise/counterclockwise rotation of the motor is
transmitted to the shaft when the clutch goes ON, and the operation of the clutch is irrelevant.
b.CPCL2 (separation roller/pickup roller drive; ascent/decent movement and upper
limit of pickup roller)
Motor in Clockwise Rotation
As the spring clutch contracts, the pickup roller and the separation roller are driven; as a
result, the pickup roller is moved down to rotate.
Motor Rotating in Reverse
The pickup roller is moved up, and is held in “escape” position. If the pickup roller comes
into contact with the feeder cover, the spring clutch loosens to serve as a limiter, thereby
preventing damage.
The drive from the motor is transmitted by means of a coupling, from which it may reach
the pickup roller drive shaft through SPCL3 or reach the sepapation roller and pickup roller
through SPCL4.

d.SPCL3 (pickup roller ascent/movement)
Motor in Clockwise Rotation
As the spring clutch expands, the drive shaft on the separation roller shaft stops to rotate;
SPCL4 is used to drive and to move down the pickup roller.
Motor Rotating in Reverse
The spring contracts to rotate the drive shaft on the separation roller shaft, and the drive is
carried through SPCL4 to move up the pickup roller.
e.SPCL4 (pickup roller descent movement, separation roller/pic kup roller drive; one way)
Motor in Clockwise Rotation
As the spring contracts, the pickup roller is moved down; at the same time, the separation
roller and the pickup roller are driven in the direction of pickup. When paper is moved by
the pull-off roller, it picks up speed, pulling and causing the separation roller to rotate in response; at this time, the spring clutch expands so that the pickup roller drive shaft stops to
rotate, ultimately stopping the pickup roller.
Motor in Reverse Rotation
f. SPCL5 (pickup roller ascent/decent; pressure limiter)
Motor in Clockwise Rotatoiin
The pickup roller is moved down (in the direction that causes the spring to loosen) and is
forced against the paper. When the pickup roller comes into contact with the paper, the
spring clutch serves as a limit to keep the pressure against the paper at a specific level.
Motor in Reverse Rotation
The pickup roller is moved up (in the direction that causes the spring to tighten).
The drive of the belt is transmitted to the pickup roller for rotation into pickup direction
(in the direction that causes the spring to tighten). When the paper is moved by the pull-off
roller, its speed increases, and the pickup roller is pulled by the paper to rotate in conjunction. At this time, the spring clutch loosens, and the drive to the belt is cut.

2.4.4 Pickup Unit and the Stopper
The pickup unit consists of a pickup roller and a separation roller. When the Start key is
pressed or the original pickup signal arrives, the feed motor (M1) rotates to move down the
pickup unit, and the pickup roller and the separation roller rotate to move the paper.
The stopper operates in conjunction with the pickup unit, and moves up. To prevent
double feeding at time of pickup, the separation pad and the separation plate are used to
make sure that sheets are separated.
The following is a diagram of the circuit used to control the feed motor (M1). The pickup
motor is a 2-phase stepping motor, and the functions of the circuit include the following:
•turning on and off the motor.
•controlling the direction of motor operation.
•controlling the speed of motor rotation.

The motor driver (IC1) on the ADF driver PCB receives commands from the host ma-
chine, and sends drive pulses to the pick motor.
The feed motor is a stepping motor, and it controls the direction and speed of rotation by
changing the order in which the drive pulses (MOTA, MOTA*, MOTB, MOTB*) are sent
and the frequency.

CHAPTER 5 TROUBLESHOOTING
If auto adjustment fails, clean
the platen roller of the ADF and
the copyboard glass of the host
machine; then, execute auto adjustment once again. If it still
fails, suspect a fault in the host
machine.
The machine does not have a controller PCB, and depends on the controller PCB of its
host machine for diagnosis. The checks are limited to jams, and do not look for alarm or error conditions. For discussions of jams, see 3 “Jams” in Chapter 2 (p. 2-21).
