CHAPTER 1

C. Unpacking and Installation Procedure

Condensation will form on surfaces when brought into a warm room from the cold. Condensation on the surfaces of the sorter can cause feeding failures. Therefore, when moving the sorter to a warm environment, leave it packed in its box for at least an hour to acclimatize to room temperature.

1. Unpacking the Sorter

1) Open the sorter packaging.

2) Take out the accessories. Confirm that the power cord, reversing tray, sorter adapter plate and interface cable are included.

3) Remove the sorter from the box and stand it upright near the printer. Check that none of the covers were scratched or deformed during shipment.

4) Remove the plastic bag from the sorter.

5) Peel off the packing tape, remove the guide rail packing materials, and then lower the guide rail gently.

Figure 1-4-1

Note: 1. The guide rail will fall over once the packing tape is peeled off. Be sure to support

the guide rail when removing the packing tape.

2. Save the packing materials in case you have to move or transport the sorter in the

future, as they are needed for the movement or transportation.

2. Attaching the sorter to Your Printer

1) Remove the face-up tray attached to the side of the printer.

Figure 1-4-2

2) Grasp the lock lever of the dial lock of the sorter adapter plate and squeeze it gently in the direction of the arrow to release the lock.

Figure 1-4-3

3) Slide the edge 1 and then 2 of the sorter adapter plate into the recess at the bottom of the printer so the plate is fitted to the printer.

6) Check whether the sorter attached to the printer is parallel to the printer.

Figure 1-4-7

If not, adjust with the height adjusting lever under the sorter. Pushing the height adjusting lever rightward ( direction) raises the tray side of the sorter. Pushing the height adjusting lever leftward ( direction) lowers the tray side of the sorter.

Figure 1-4-8

Note: 1. Lift the sorter slightly to make space between the casters and the floor when moving

the height adjusting lever.

2. If the printer and the sorter do not become parallel to each other by the above adjust-

ment, move the printer and the sorter to a level place.

CHAPTER 1

3. Connecting the Interface Cables

Always turn the printer and sorter OFF and remove the plug from the AC outlet before connecting or disconnecting the interface cable.

1) The sorter has two interface connectors. Use the upper connector (IN) to connect the sorter to the printer, and the lower connector (OUT) to connect the sorter to other optional devices.

Figure 1-4-11

2) The connectors at each end of the interface cable that connects the sorter to the printer are different from each other as illustrated below. The connector on the sorter side has 15 pins and the one on the printer side has 14 pins.

Figure 1-4-12

3) Plug the connector with 15 pins on the interface cable into the upper connector (IN) on the sorter and secure with the fixing screws.

4) Connect the connector with 14 pins on the other end of the interface cable to the option controller in the printer.

D. Paper Jams

When paper jams occur, follow the procedures below to remove the paper jammed inside the unit.

1. Paper James in the Face-up Area

1) Separate the sorter from the printer.

2) Open the top cover unit at the top of the sorter, then pull out the jammed paper.

Figure 1-4-13

2. Paper Jams in the Reversing Tray Guide Area

1) Open the top cover unit.

2) Grasp the holder at the end of the guide and lift the guide as shown in the figure below, then pull out the jammed paper.

3. Paper Jams in the Transfer Area

1) If the paper is jammed at the right cover of the sorter, lift up the release lever and open the right cover in the direction of the arrow.

Figure 1-4-15

2) Gently release the edge of paper by pulling the paper downwards, then remove the jammed paper from the transfer area.

4. Paper Jams in the Face-down Bin Area

1) If the paper is jammed in one of the face-down bins, grasp the paper and gently pull it out of the sorter.

5. Paper Jams in the Reversing Tray Area

1) If the paper is jammed in the reversing tray of the sorter, fold the face-up tray backwards, then gently pull out the jammed paper.

CHAPTER 2

OPERATION AND TIMING

1. This chapter describes the printer functions, the relationships between mechanisms and circuits, and the timing of operations. Mechanical linkages are indicated by black and white lines ( ), the flow of control signals by solid arrows ( ), and the flow of groups of signals by outline arrows ( ).

2. An active-high signal is indicated by "H" or by a signal name without a slash in front of it, such as "PSNS." An active-low signal is indicated by "L" or by a signal name with a slash in front of, such as "/SCNON."

A signal that is "H" or has a name without a slash is active at the supply voltage level (indicating that the signal is being output), and inactive at ground level (indicating that the signal is not being output).

A signal that is "L" or has a slash in front of its name is active at ground level, and inac-

tive at the supply voltage level.

There is a microcomputer in this printer. But as the internal operation of the microcomputer cannot be checked, an explanation of the operation of the microcomputer has been left out.

As it is assumed that no repair will be made to customer circuit boards, the explanation of board circuits is limited to an outline using block diagrams. So there are two types of circuit explanations; (1) everything from the sensor to the input sections of the major circuit boards, (2) everything from the output sections of the major circuit boards to the loads. These are explained with block diagrams according to the function.

I. BASIC OPERATION

A. Outline

The sorter delivers the paper fed from the printer face-down or face-up. In case of face-down delivery, the job separation, sorting, etc. can be operated.

These operations are controlled by the various commands sent from the printer through the

option controller.

B. Outline of Electric Circuit

The operation sequence of the sorter is controlled by the sorter driver PCB. The sorter driver PCB employs an 8-bit microcomputer (CPU) and performs the sequence control and serial communication with the option controller PCB.

The sorter driver PCB drives the solenoids, motor, etc. in response to various commands sent from the option controller. The sorter driver sends information on sensors and switches to the option controller.

The ICs mounted on the sorter driver are as follows.

• IC6 (CPU) Sequence control Backup of initial data values

• IC7 (motor driver) Motor drive control

Flow of signals between the sorter and option controller is shown in the figure below.
