Page 15
EPSON EPL-N4000/EPL-N4000+ Optional Finisher Stapler Revision A
2.1 Power Supply
The Power Supply of the Finisher Stapler is supplied by the 100V AC via the
printer and generated by the LVP PWB in the Finisher Stapler.
2.1.1 Control over the Finisher Stapler
LVPS sends the sensor data in the Finisher Stapler to the MCU of the printer.
Commands from the MCU of the printer is transferred to the Finisher PWB
and controls over respective components of the Finisher Stapler.

Operating Principles Power Supply 15
Page 16
EPSON EPL-N4000/EPL-N4000+ Optional Finisher Stapler Revision A
2.1.2 Control Main Parts of the Finisher Stapler
Finisher PWB
LVPS PWB sends sensor data in the Finisher Stapler to MCU of the
printer. Commands from the MCU of the base engine is transferred to
the Finisher PWB and controls over respective components of the
Finisher Stapler.
HCS Low Voltage Power Supply
Generates +5VDC and +24VDC from 100VAC.
Unload While Run Switch and LED
This switch is for user to interrupt Finisher Stapler when it is
proceeding its job.
LED flashes when interruption is made.
Finisher Interlock Sensor
Supervises that the door of the Finisher Stapler is not open.
Front Cover Interlock Switch
When Front Cover is open, shut off 24VDC.
Compiler Cover Safety Switch
When Compiler Cover is open, shut off 24VDC.
IOT Full Paper Sensor
Supervises the amount of paper on the eject tray of the printer.
Transport Exit Sensor
Supervises paper passing from Transport Assembly.
Transport Interlock Sensor
Supervises the condition of the Transport Cover.
Transport Motor
Drives Transport Rolls.
2.1.2.2 Compiler
Compiler arranges paper as set.
Tamper Motor
Drives Tamper which pushes paper to the end.
Tamper Home Sensor
Supervises the position of the Tamper.
Top Tray Safety Switch
Detects if there are any obstructions under the Top Tray and shut off
+24VDC and stop the Elevator Motor.
Middle Tray Safety Switch
Detects if there are any obstructions under the Middle Tray and shut
off +24VDC and stop the Elevator Motor. Top Tray Safety Switch and
Middle Tray Safety Switch are connected in series.
2.1.2.1 Transport
Shift paper from DDC to Compiler.

3.1 Outline
This chapter explains main installation and removal procedures of staple
cartridge or Finisher Stapler.
3.1.1 Preparation
Before starting removal and installation;
1. Turn off the printer.
2. Remove AC power code from the plug.
3. Wear eliminate-static wrist band to avoid damaging any electronic parts
on the print circuit board which can be easily damaged by static
electricity.
3.1.2 Attention for Handling
CAUTION
Parts name here may not match the name on the parts list
precisely. For example, MSI Tray Assembly is the same as
Tray Assembly MSI on parts list.
Use the screw with right type and right size when
installing the parts.
Wrong screws may damage threaded holes.
Do not inflict any unnecessary force for removing and
installing parts.
3.1.3 Notation for Removal and Installation
1. The position (R for right) on the removal and installation is noted,
provided that an operator faces printer Console Panel.
2. The arrows on the figure indicates the direction to move a component
when removing it.
3. Slash on the parts name indicates that several components share the
same initial word and have the same function. For example, “Gear In/
Feed/Out indicates “Gear In, Gear Feed, Gear Out”.

3.2 Up and Down of Finisher Stapler
When the stop button is pressed, the LED of the switch lights on and
the panel indicates “warm up”.
Finisher Stapler moves up when outputting to the bin 3. This is due to for
paper eject bin to move up.
For the safety measures, the paper eject bin can be lowered.
Finisher Stapler moves up and down under the following condition.
1. When applying the power;
When the Finisher Stapler is at bin 2 or bin 3, it moves down to bin1.
Stop button is unavailable.
No panel indication during the move.
2. When ejecting the paper to the staple Stacker;
Move to the target bin.
The panel indication during the move is the same as at the normal
printing operation.
When the EPL-N4000/EPL-N4000+ generates an error, Finisher Stapler
moves to the target position. If the printer does not start printing
again after the Finisher Stapler has moved for about one minute, the
Finisher Stapler moves down to bin 2 or bin 1 as same as in the case
of 3.
3. After ejecting paper to the Finisher Stapler;
About one minute after paper went out of compile tray, the Finisher
Stapler moves down to the bin 2. If there are no paper on bin 2 nor on
bin 3, the Finisher Stapler moves down to bin 1.
About one minute after the Finisher Stapler moves down to bin 1, or
when the stop button is pressed again, the LED of the switch lights off
and then printer will be on line again.
If the paper on bin 2 and bin 3 is removed after the Finisher Stapler
moved down to bin 2, the Finisher Stapler moves down to bin 1 after
about one minute.
No panel indication during the move.
4. When pressing the stop button of the Finisher Stapler;
The Finisher Stapler moves down to bin 1.
When the stop button is pressed during the printing procedure, bin
moves down after the job finishes or after the certain set of copies
has done.
