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 Basic Operation

Chapter 2

2.1.1 Pickup Operation

The stack of paper deposited in the deck is raised by the lifter and held at a specific point for pickup. The deck pickup
clutch (CL2D) goes on when the Start key is pressed.
The deck main motor (M1D) goes on to rotate the pickup roller to pick up paper.
The pickup/feed rollers and the separation roller make sure that only a single sheet of paper is sent forward. The deck
pickup sensor (PS1S) is used to detect paper. The pickup roller leaves the stack of paper when the deck pickup roller
release solenoid (SL1D) goes on. When paper is sent forward, the deck feed clutch (CL1D) goes on to rotate the deck
feed roller so that the paper is moved as far as the host machine's registration roller, where it is arched to remove any
skew.
The registration roller is used to make sure that the leading edge of paper will match the image on the photosensitive
drum.
<if pickup is not detected within a specific period of time>
If, for some reason, the deck pickup sensor (PS6D) does not detect paper in the presence of the deck pickup detection
signal, the machine will issue an alarm code.

2.2 Paper Detection

Chapter 2

2.2.1 Detecting the Presence/Absence of Paper

The deck paper absent sensor [1] (PS2D) is used to detect the presence/absence of paper.
The paper [3] deposited on the lifter [2] runs out.
The paper detecting lever [4] of the pickup roller assembly moves past the deck paper absent sensor.
The machine indicates a message to indicate the absence of paper (on the host machine's control panel).

2.2.2 Switching the Deck Paper Size

Enter the appropriate paper size in service mode (OPTION>ACC>DK-P).
Move the guide plate inside the deck to suit the paper size, and enter the size in service mode (at time of installation
or at the request of the user).

2.2.3 Detecting the Level of Paper

The following sensors are used to detect the level of paper:
- deck paper supply position sensor (PS8D)
- deck paper level sensor (PS7D)
0001-0790

2.3 Deck Lifter

Chapter 2

2.3.1 Detecting the Presence/Absence of Paper

The deck's lifter detects the presence/absence of paper as follows:
T-2-2
operation: moved up or down by switching the direction of rotation of the deck
lifter motor (M2D).
drive: obtained from the deck lifter motor (M2D) through cable and reel.
1. Moving Up the Lifter
The compartment is pushed inside the deck.
The deck open detecting switch (SW1D) is pressed.
The deck open sensor (PS9D) detects the light-blocking plate.
- Stopping the Lifter
The deck lifter position sensor (PS4D) detects the top surface of the stack of paper to stop the lifter.
<preventing damage to the deck caused by excess ascent>
An upper limit is set, and it is detected using the deck lifter upper limit sensor (PS3D) in consideration of the
following:
The sensor lever blocks the deck lifter position sensor for some reason (i.e., the lifter fails to stop its ascent).
2. Moving Down the Lifter
The deck open switch (SW100D) is pressed.
- Stopping the Lifter
The lifter stops where the lifter moves past the sensor lever of the deck paper supply position sensor (PS8D); i.e., at
the falling edge of sensor output.
<addition of paper in this condition>
The added paper pushes the lever of the deck paper supply position sensor (PS8D).
The lifter moves farther down until the stack of paper moves past the sensor lever.
3. Adding Paper
Each time paper is added, the lifter repeats moving down until the deck lifter lower limit detecting switch (SW2D)
is pressed (i.e., maximum paper supply level).

2.4.1 Opening/Closing the Compartment

<opening the compartment>
The deck open switch (SW100D) is pressed.
The deck open solenoid (SL2D) goes on.
The compartment is unlocked, and the force of the spring pushes it several centimeters toward the front.
The deck lifter motor (M2D) starts to rotate.
The lifter inside the compartment moves down.
<closing the compartment>
The compartment is pushed inside the deck.
The deck open sensor (PS9D) detects the light-blocking plate inside the compartment.
The lifter moves up to the pickup motor.
<deck open indicator (LED100D) goes on or flashes>
The deck open indicator is used to indicate that the deck lifter motor is rotating to open/close the deck.

2.5 Detecting Jams

Chapter 2

2.5.1 Overview

The paper deck is equipped with 2 sensors.
The machine reads the signals from the sensors at such times as programmed in the host machine's DC controller.
The machine decides whether the movement of paper is normal or not by using the host machine's DC controller.
<if a jam is identified>
The machine delivers the paper moving ahead of the jam, and then stops its operation. Thereafter, it indicates
instructions on the removal of the jam using the host machine's control panel.
