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.

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 Functional Construction

0003-8735
The puncher unit is optionally installed in the delivery path between the host machine and the finisher.
When the paper delivered from the host machine reaches the puncher unit, it is fed by the punch feed roller. Then
when the trailing edge of the paper is detected, the paper is tempo-rarily stopped and the punch axis rotates to punch
holes in the trailing edge of the paper. These operations are controlled by the finisher controller PCB and the punch
controller PCB drives each puncher component.

2.2 Feed Drive System

2.2.1 Overview

0003-9479
The puncher unit is located on the feed path between the host machine and the finisher, and successively punches
holes when the paper stops temporarily.
The paper delivered from the host machine is fed by the punch feed roller. The punch feed roller is driven by the
punch feed motor. When the trailing edge of the paper reaches the puncher unit, the inlet roller of the finisher unit
temporarily stops the paper and holes are punched on the trailing edge of the paper.
The following shows the names and functions of the motors and sensors used in punching operation:
T-2-1
Motor Function
Punch motor (M61) Drives the punch unit.
Horizontal registration motor (M62) Drives the punch slide unit.
Punch feed motor(M63) Drives the punch feed roller.
T-2-2
Sensor Function
Horizontal registration home
position sensor (PI61)
Punch motor clock sensor (PI62) Detects the punch motor clock.
Punch home position sensor (PI63) Detects the punch shaft home position.
Horizontal registration sensor
(LED1 to LED4,PTR1 to PTR4)
Trailing edge sensor (LED5,PTR5) Detects the trailing edge of paper.
Scrap full detector sensor
(LED6,PTR6)

2.2.2 Constraction of the Control System

Detects the punch slide unit home position.
Detects the position of the rear edge of paper.
Detects the state of the punch waste case (full).
0003-4698
The puncher unit consists of a die and hole puncher (punch blade).
The hole puncher is driven by the punch motor (M61). The hole puncher is attached to the
eccentric cam of the punch shaft, and rotary action of the punch shaft is converted to reciprocal motion to perform
punching.
Punch motor (M61) is a DC motor. The home position of the punch shaft is detected by punch home position sensor
2-2
(PI63). To stop the DC punch motor accurately at its home po-sition, the punch motor clock sensor (PI62) counts a
predetermined number of clock pulses to stop the punch motor. A single punch operation is performed by rotating
the punch shaft 180° from its home position.
Five light sensors (photosensor PCB) are located at the upper side of the inlet paper feed path of the puncher unit and
a set of five LEDs (LED PCB) are located at the lower side. These sensors and LEDs function as five sensors. The
frontmost sensor (LED5, PTR5) are the trailing edge sensor and are used for detecting the trailing edge of the paper.
The remaining sensors (LED1 to LED4, PTR1 to PTR4) are horizontal registration sensors, and are used for detecting
the inner position of the paper for determining the hole punching position.
The punch motor, puncher unit and above sensors comprise the punch slide unit. This unit moves backwards and
forwards according to the size of the paper. Backward and forward movement is driven by the horizontal registration
motor (M62). The home position of the punch slide unit is detected by the horizontal registration home position
sensor (PI61). The horizontal registration motor (M62) is a 2-phase stepping motor.
The punch motor and horizontal registration motor is driven by the punch controller PCB
according to control signals from the finisher controller PCB.
Punch scraps caused by punching are stored in the punched scrap container. Scrap full detection is performed by a
reflective sensor (LED6 and PTR6 on the scrap full detector PCB unit).

2.2.3 Punch Operation

0003-4699
The hole puncher is driven by the punch motor (M61), and its position is monitored by the punch home position
sensor (PI63).
The hole puncher makes a single round-trip movement (punching) as the punch shaft rotates 180° from home
position.
In the case of a 2-or-3 hole type, the half sector of the punch shaft is used when punching 2 holes while the half sector
on the opposite side is used when punching 3 holes as instructed by the host machine.
<2-/4-hole Type>

Chapter 2
At the home position, the punch home position sensor is ON. Punching of the first sheet ends when the punch shaft
has rotated in the forward direction 180°, and the state of the punch home position sensor has changed from OFF to
ON. Punching of the second sheet ends when the punch shaft has rotated in the reverse direction 180° , and the state
of the punch home position sensor has changed from OFF to ON.
The following illustrates punching when two sheets are punched.

<2-/3-hole Dual Use Type>
At the home position, the punch home position sensor is ON. To punch two holes, punching of the first sheet ends
when the punch shaft half peripheral area has rotated in the forward direction 180°, and the state of the punch home
position sensor has changed from OFF to ON. At this time, the 3-hole puncher is moved reciprocally in the escape
direction (hole puncher rise direction) on the remaining half peripheral area on the punch shaft. Punching of the
second sheet ends when the punch shaft half peripheral area has rotated in the reverse direction 180°, and the state
of the punch home position sensor has changed from OFF to ON. Also at this time, the 3-hole puncher is moved

reciprocally in the escape direction (hole puncher rise direction) on the remaining half peripheral area on the punch
shaft. To punch three holes, the 2-hole puncher is moved reciprocally in the escape direction (hole puncher rise
direction).
