Symbols Used
This documentation uses the following symbols to indicate special information:
Symbol Description
Indicates an item of a non-specific nature, possibly classified as Note, Caution, or Warning.
Indicates an item requiring care to avoid electric shocks.
Indicates an item requiring care to avoid combustion (fire).
Indicates an item prohibiting disassembly to avoid electric shocks or problems.
Introduction
Memo
REF.
Indicates an item requiring disconnection of the power plug from the electric outlet.
Indicates an item intended to provide notes assisting the understanding of the topic in question.
Indicates an item of reference assisting the understanding of the topic in question.
Provides a description of a service mode.
Provides a description of the nature of an error indication.
Introduction
The following rules apply throughout this Service Manual:
1. Each chapter contains sections explaining the purpose of specific 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 flipping on the power switch, closing the front door, and closing the delivery unit door, which results in supplying the machine with 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 field. 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."

2.1.1 Basic Operation (Finisher Unit)
0003-4522
The finisher is designed to deliver copies arriving from its host machine, and its modes of delivery include simple stacking, job offset, and staple. All operations involved in these modes are controlled by the finisher controller PCB, according to the appropriate commands from the host machine. In the case of the Saddle Finisher, copies from the host machine may be routed to the saddle stitcher unit.

2.1.2 Overview of the Electrical Circuitry (Finisher Unit)
0003-4528
The finisher's sequence of operation is controlled by the finisher controller PCB. The finisher controller PCB is a 16­bit microprocessor (CPU), and is used for communication with the host machine (serial) in addition to controlling the finisher's sequence of operations. The finisher controller PCB responds to the various commands coming from the host machine 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 machine through a serial communications circuit. In the case of the Saddle Finisher, 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 machine.

2.1.3 Basic Operation (Saddle Stitcher Unit)
0003-4531
The unit "stitches" (2 points) a stack of sheets delivered by the finisher unit and folds it in two for delivery. All these operations are controlled by the saddle stitcher controller PCB in response to commands from the host machine via the finisher unit.

2.1.4 Overview of the Electrical Circuitry (Saddle Stitcher Unit)
0003-4532
The sequence of operations used for the saddle stitcher is controlled by the saddle stitcher controller PCB. The saddle stitcher controller PCB has a microprocessor. This microprocessor is used to control the sequence of operations and to handle serial communications with the finisher controller PCB, driving 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: <IC7 (CPU)> Controls the sequence of operations. Contains the sequence program. <IC8 (communications IC)> Communicates with the finisher unit. <IC512 (regulator IC)> Generates 5V. <IC10 (regulator IC)> Generates 3.3V.

Chapter 2
2.2.1 Overview
0003-8412
This product consists of the Finisher unit and the Saddle Stitcher unit. The Finisher unit simply stacks sheets delivered from a host machine, offsets a stack job, or staples and delivers the sheets to the trays according to commands delivered from a host machine. The Saddle Stitcher unit carries in, aligns, and stitches sheets delivered from the host machine, and then feeds the resulting stack. After these operations, it folds a stack of sheets and delivers it to the delivery trays of the Saddle Stitcher unit. There are four delivery methods.

2.2.2 Constraction of the Control System (Finisher Unit)
The copy sent from the host machine is delivered to the ejection tray, processing tray, or saddle stitcher according to the ejection type. Job offset or stapling is performed, according to the instruction from the host machine, for copy delivered to the staple tray. When ejecting from the processing tray, rear end assist guide is used in addition to the stack ejection roller to eject the stack. The inlet motor (M31), stack ejection motor (M32), and rear end assist motor (M39) are step motors. These motors are rotated forward or backward by the microcomputer (CPU) in the finisher controller PCB. The following two sensors are provided in the copy delivery path to detect the arrival or passing of copies. Inlet sensor (PI33) Delivery path sensor (PI34) Also, each ejection tray has sensors to detect the presence of copy on the tray. First tray paper sensor (PI42) Second tray paper sensor (PI43)

Chapter 2
If the copy does not reaches or passes each sensor within prescribed time, the finisher controller PCB determines that the jam has occurred and stops the operation. Then it notifies the host machine that a jam has occurred. When all of the doors are closed after fixing the jam, the finisher checks whether copy is detected by any of the above two sensors (inlet sensor, delivery path sensor). If any of the sensors detects a copy, the finisher determines that the jam is not fixed and sends jam processing signal to the host machine once more.

<Processing Tray Path> This is the copy ejection path when the equipment is set to sort for paper size other than A4, B5, or LTR or when set to staple sort. Copies are delivered to the processing tray for aligning and stapling. Then they are ejected using the rear end assist.

<Buffer/Processing Tray Path> This is the copy ejection path when the equipment is set to sort for A4, B5, or LTR paper size. Feed two sheets of paper to buffer (two or three sheets if 2-point stapling). Then they are aligned and stapled in the processing tray and ejected. Even while stapling or offset is being performed, simultaneous stack ejection, which simultaneously ejects copies delivered to the buffer and post processed stack in the processing tray, is performed because copies are received continuously from the host machine. The stack delivered from the buffer is ejected to the processing tray and the stack processed in the processing tray is ejected to the tray. Simultaneous stack ejection operation is described below for two A4 copies between stacks when the equipment is set to sort.
