12-2. Connecting DC-S and DC-S4
• Downstream units (DC-S, DC-S4) can be connected to the DFC-12/10 to staple and punch
collated paper.
• The paper sizes which can be used differ between DC-S and DC-S4. For details, refer to their
instruction manuals. The special connecting kit (PS-Base) is required to connect DC-S and
DC-S4.
It can be purchased from the nearest Duplo dealer.
• When connecting DC-S or DC-S4, press the Select key on the control panel of the DFC-12/10

13.DOUBLE-FEED DETECTION FUNCTION
Using the sensor for measuring paper thickness, the thickness of paper fed by preset
settings is read as the reference data, and compared with the data of the paper collated.
When the difference between those data is large, it determines that a double-feed has
occurred.
This function is called double-feed detection.
The sensor is inside the paper feed gate of
each bin.
The light-emitting sensor located below paper emits
some amount of light at the light receiving sensor lo-
cated above paper. The sensor above measures the
light amount penetrating the paper from below.
• Sensor reading range:
The sensors read along the line 160 mm from the side
edge ranging from the point 10 mm off the top edge up
to 110 mm.
When a black print is at this position, the light amount
on the paper drops, disabling the sensor from operat-
ing normally. In such cases, turn off the double-feed
detection sensor.
For details on setting, refer to "Switching the double-
feed detection sensor between ON/OFF" ( page
35).
Note When using the double-feed detection sen-
sor at OFF, the machine will not stop even if
double-feed error occurs.

• When paper does not jam even though "Paper Jam" is shown in the control panel of
DBM-120T
• When paper is ejected without being trimmed even though "Trimming" is ON
Decrease the processing speed of the collator in such cases.
This can be improved by setting a slow collator speed. (Refer to "Setting speed" on
page 25.)
When "Bridge paper jam" is displayed in the use of two towers, even though no paper is
jammed in the Bridge.
Misfeed has occurred at tower B if paper is ejected to the paper receiving table of tower A. If paper is
ejected to the downstream unit, misfeed has occurred at tower A.
Fan the paper sheets well at the tower with the problem. Also re-adjust the paper feed pressure and
separating pressure.
For details, refer to "Precautions on Loading Paper" (
