INTRODUCTION

This Service Manual contains basic data and figures for the Stapler Sorter-J1/K1/E3

needed to service the machine in the field. Chapter 1 General Description introduces the sorter's features, specifications, and

names of parts, and shows how to operate the sorter.

Chapter 2 Basic Operation discusses the principles of operation used for the sorter's

mechanical and electrical systems. It also explains the timing at which these systems are operated.

Chapter 3 Mechanical System discusses how the sorter is constructed mechanically, and

shows how it may be disassembled/assembled and adjusted.

Chapter 4 Maintenance and Inspection provides tables of periodically replaced parts and

consumables and durables, together with a scheduled servicing chart.

Chapter 5 Troubleshooting provides tables of maintenance/inspection, standards/

adjustments, and problem identification (image fault/malfunction). Appendix contains diagrams showing electrical parts arrangement, tables of

signals, tables of special tools, tables of solvents/oils, and a general timing chart.

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.

CHAPTER 1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION

I. FEATURES

1. Easier Access to Copies

• Copies in the bins can be taken out easily from the front.

2. Better Paper Feeding

2

• Thick paper may be fed (up to 200 g/m

3. Easier Jam Removal

• A jam can be removed from the front without detaching the sorter from the copier.

• The bins may be moved up and down manually so that a jam lodged between a bin and the feeding assembly can be removed easily.

4. Three Types of Auto Stapling

• In staple sort mode, auto stapling may be at one front location, one rear location, or two front/ rear locations. Moreover, as many as 50 (48 sheets of 80 g/m be stapled (stack thickness of 5.5 mm or less).

; in cover mode only).

and 2 sheets of 200 g/m2) may

5. Multiple Stacking Functions

• Sort mode or staple sort mode is not restricted by the number of bins.

6. Limitless Sorting

• Both sort mode and staple sort mode are free from the specified copy count setting.

7. Punching

• Two or three holes may be punched in copies for delivery. (Stapler Sorter-J1/K1 only)

CHAPTER 2

BASIC OPERATION

In outline diagrams, represents mechanical drive paths, and indicates

electrical signal paths.

Signals in digital circuits are identified as ‘1’ for High and ‘0’ for Low. The voltage of

signals, however, depends on the circuit.

Nearly all operations of the product are controlled by a microprocessor; the internal workings of the processor are not relevant to the serviceman’s work and, therefore, are left out of the discussions. By the same token, no repairs are prescribed for the PCBs at the user’s premises; for this reason, PCBs are discussed by means of block diagrams rather than circuit diagrams.

For the purpose of explanation, discussions are divided into the following: from sensors to DC controller PCB input ports; from DC controller output ports to loads; and minor control circuits and functions.
