1. Paper Conveyance
Paper conveyance is carried out by conveyance rollers A,
B, C, and D; the intermediate conveyance roller; the conveyance slide shaft; and sub-tray paper exit rollers A, B,
and C. These components are driven b y M1 (FNS conv eyance) by means of a timing belt.
Stacking is implemented by the stacker entrance roller and
the swivel roller. These rollers are driven by the M13
(stacker entrance) by means of a timing belt.
Ejection to the main tray (following staple processing) is
implemented by the stacker paper exit belt arm and the
paper exit roller. These components are driven by the M7
(paper exit).
Ejection to the booklet tray is implemented by the folding
convey ance roller, the folding conve yance belt, the f olding
knife, f olding rollers A and B, and pressure rollers A and B.
The folding knife is driven by M19 (folding knife). The conveyance belt, folding rollers, and pressure rollers are driven
by the M20 (folding conveyance) by means of a timing
belt.
2. Paper Path Switching

the nip roller except during ejection.
When paper reaches the paper exit opening, the paper
exit roller is engaged by the nip roller and the paper is
ejected to the main tray. Engagement and release is controlled by SD4 (paper exit opening).
b. Paper Exit of the Staple Mode (Flat Stapling)
Upon completion of stapling, the paperr exit closes, and
the paper is grasped and ejected to the main tray. The
opening and closing of the paper exit is controlled by M8

1. Operation
a. Interlock
FNS paper-conveyance drive control is initiated by the ON
signal from the main body START button. If MS1 (interlock) is OFF at this time, however, the finisher transmits
an error signal to the main body CB and does not begin
control.
b. PS207 (paper exit cover open/close detection)
control
As mentioned above, FNS paper-conveyance drive control is initiated by the ON signal from the main body ST AR T
button. But if PS207 (paper exit cover open/close detector) is [H] at this time (paper exit cover is open), the FNS
transmits an error signal to the main body CB and does
not begin control.
c. M1 (FNS conveyance) control
(1) Main tray paper exit operation
M1 (FNS conveyance) is set ON by the ON signal of the START button and goes OFF a preset

MAIN BODY
M13 (stacker entrance) drives the stacker entrance roller
and the swivel roller , thereby carrying out the following functions: conveyance of paper to the stacker; paper alignment;
and adjustment of staple waiting time. M13 is controlled
by the FNS CB (FNS control board) via the RB (relay
board).
Conveyance to the stacker varies according to paper size:
one method is used for A4 and B5, another is used for all
other sizes.
1-33
Page 38
FS-108/FS-108BM
a. Conveyance to the stacker (sizes other than A4
or B5)
(1) M13 ON timing
M13 (stacker entrance) is set ON b y the START
button ON signal, and begins with rapid rotation. M13 then switches to slow rotation a preset time period after PS4 (FIN entrance passage)
detects the trailing edge of the first paper. M13
then returns to rapid rotation a preset period after PS5 (stacker conveyance passage) detects
the trailing edge of the paper. This action is repeated as necessary to transport all papers to
be stacked into the stacker.
(2) M13 OFF timing
M13 goes OFF a preset time period after PS5
(stacker conveyance passage) detects the trailing edge of the final paper set.
b. Conveyance to the stacker (A4 and B5 sizes)
(1) First set
Paper for the first set to be stapled is conveyed
in the same way as other paper sizes.
(2) First paper of second and subsequent sets
M13 goes OFF a preset time period after PS4
(FIN entrance passage) detects the trailing edge
of the first paper for the second or subsequent
set, and the paper moves into the by-pass . This
prevents paper from moving into the stacker
while stapling of the previous set is still in
progress.
(3) Second and subsequent papers of second and
subsequent sets
M13 resumes slow rotation a preset time period
after PS4 detects the trailing edge of the second paper of the set. This causes the first and
second papers to move together (one atop the
other) into the stacker. M13 switches to rapid
rotation a preset time period after PS5 (stacker
conveyance passage) detects the trailing edge
of the first and second papers, so that it is ready
to handle the third paper of the set when it arrives from the main body. Third and subsequent
papers for the set are then conveyed in the same
way as the papers in the first set.
c. Paper alignment (trailing-edge alignment)
For operation in staple mode:
The swivel roller adjusts the position of each paper (one
paper at a time) within the stacker.
For operation in booklet mode (FS-108BM only): The stapling & folding stopper is moved and set into appropriate
position. The swivel roller adjusts the position of each paper (one paper at a time).

When running in Sort or Group mode, the FNS carries out
shifting of paper. Shifting is driven b y M2 (roller shift), which
is controlled by the FNS CB (FNS control board).
1. Operation
If operation is in Sort or Group mode, M2 (roller shift) comes
ON a predetermined time period after PS4 (FIN entrance
passage) detects the trailing edge of a paper that needs to
be shifted.
Rotation of M2 starts shifting of the conveyance slide shaft,
while rotation of M1 (FNS conveyance) causes the shaft
to turn, so that shifting and conveyance occur simultaneously. PS18 (roller-shift HP) comes ON when the shaft
has been fully shifted, causing M2 to go OFF.
A specified time period after PS4 goes off, M2 comes back
ON and returns the conveyance slide shaft to its original
position. PS18 (roller-shift HP) goes OFF when the shaft
has returned all the way, causing M2 to go OFF again.
This operation is repeated as necessary to shift paper as it
moves toward the exit roller.

MAIN BODY
SD4 (paper exit opening) controls engagement by the nip
paper exit roller. SD4 is controlled by the FNS CB (FNS
control board).
1. Operation
When ejection is not in progress, a gap is maintained between the nip paper exit roller and the paper exit roller so
as to prevent paper jams at the paper e xit. At time of ejection, howev er, SD4 comes ON, inclining the nip paper exit
roller against the paper exit roller so that the gap is closed.
a. SD4 ON timing
(1) Sort, Group, and Non-Sort modes
SD4 comes ON a preset time period after PS10
(paper exit-2) detects the leading edge of the
sheet.
(2) Staple mode
SD4 comes ON a preset time period following
completion of stapling.
M8 (paper exit opening) controls opening and closing of
the paper exit by means of a linkage mechanism. M8 is
controlled by the FNS CB (FNS control board).
1. Operation
If large paper is being stapled, M8 comes on when the
START button ON signal is received, causing the paper
exit to open. Upon completion of stapling, the stapling-completed signal from the FNS CB causes the paper exit to
close, and the stapled set is exited. The status of the paper exit opening is detected by PS12 (paper exit opening).

5. Operation of the flat-stapling and stapling-andfolding stopper (FS-108BM only)
The flat-stapling stopper is held set while the stapling-andfolding stopper unit is at home position. The flat-stapling
stopper is released by a spring when the stapling-and-folding stopper unit is moved out of home position by the action of M14 (stapling-and-folding stopper).

For stapling-and-folding oper ation: P aper is transported up
to the stapling-and-folding stopper for stapling. When stapling is completed, M17 releases the stopper and the paper set moves to the folding unit. Setting and releasing of
the stopper is repeated for each paper set.
Return of the staple paper-end stopper to home position
resets the flat-stapling stopper.
Staple position
When the stapling-and-folding stopper unit has mov ed into
the predetermined position, it is set in place by M17 (stapling-and-folding stopper release).
Each stapler houses a stapler motor, and each clincher
houses a clincher motor. Motors M24 (stapler/F) and M22
(stapler/R) eject the staples, while motors M23 (clincher/
F) and M21 (clincher/R) bend the staples.
Eject staple.

SW1 (cartridge-R detection) and SW3 (cartridge-F detection) detect presence (and correct setting) or absence (or
improper setting) of the respective staple cartridges. SW2
(staple detection/R) and SW4 (staple detection/F) come
ON when the amount of staples in the respective cartridge
runs low.
The timing for staple clinching is controlled by stapler-internal sensors PS32 (clincher-timing/R) and PS35
(clincher-timing/F). Switching ON of PS32 and PS35
causes motors M21 and M23 (within the clinchers) to operate, initiating the clinch action.
Motor M11 (stapler movement) controls the mov ement (displacement) of both staplers and both clinchers, while motor M4 (stapler rotation) controls the rotation of stapler-R
and clincher-R. PS11 (stapler mo v ement HP) detects stapler movement (displacement), and PS14 (stapler rotation
HP) detects stapler rotation.

M11 (stapler movement) and M4 (stapler rotation) move
the stapler(s) and clincher(s) into position in accordance
with the selected stapling mode. Once in position, the
stapler(s) and clincher(s) execute stapling. A single stapling cycle is detected by ON-OFF-ON activation of the
various stapler and clincher home-position sensors; specifically: PS31 (stapler HP/R), PS34 (stapler HP/F), PS30
(clincher HP/R), and PS33 (clincher HP/F). Operation is
controlled by the FNS CB (FNS control board) via the RB
(relay board).
1. Operation
a. Single-staple movement control (front)
M11 (stapler movement) comes ON when the main body
issues the START button ON signal, moves stapler-F and
clincher-F to the predetermined positions, and then stops.
When single-staple mode is completed, M11 moves the
staplers and clinchers back to the ON position of PS11
(stapler movement HP) and then stops.
1-52
Page 57
FS-108/FS-108BM
b. Single-staple movement control (rear)
M11 (stapler movement) and M4 (staple rotation) come
ON when the main body issues the START button ON signal, move stapler-R and clincher-R to the predetermined
positions, and then stop. When single-staple mode is completed, M11 and M4 move the stapler and clincher back to
the PS11 (stapler movement HP) and PS14 (stapler rotation HP) ON positions, and then stop.
c. Two-staple movement control
M11 (stapler movement) and M4 (staple rotation) come
ON when the main body issues the START button ON signal, move the staplers and clinchers to the predetermined
positions, and then stops. When two-staple mode is completed, M11 and M4 moves the staplers and clinchers back
to the ON position of PS11 (stapler movement HP) and
then stops.
d. Control of the stapling-and-folding stopper
(stapling & folding) (FS-108BM only)
On receipt of the START button ON signal, the staplingand-folding stopper is moved and set into position. M14
(stapling-and-folding stopper) moves the stopper into position, and M17 (stapling-and-folding stopper release) sets
it. When stapling action is completed, M17 releases the
stopper and the papers move to the folding unit. Setting
and releasing of the stopper is repeated for each paper
set (each set of papers).
When PS25 (folding exit) detects exiting of the final paper
set, M14 returns the stopper to its home position. Arrival at
home position is detected by P23 (stapling-and-folding
stopper HP).
f. Stapler action control
Upon closing of the alignment plates/upper and alignment
plates/lower (if booklet mode), M22 (stapler/R) and M24
(staple/F) come ON, causing the staple-eject plates to begin stapling. As the stapling oper ation progresses, staplerinternal sensors PS32 (clincher timing/R) and PS35
(clincher timing/F) come ON, causing clincher-internal
motors M21 (clincher/R) and M23 (clincher/F) to come ON,
thereby initiating the clinching action.
Staple action is completed when the following HP sensors
have come ON, detecting home positions: PS31 (stapler
HP/R), PS34 (stapler HP/F), PS30 (clincher HP/R), and
PS33 (clincher HP/F).
A staple-jam condition is detected if PS31, PS34, PS30,
or PS33 fails to come back ON within a preset time period
after going OFF. M22, M24, M21, and M23 turn in reverse
until the corresponding components have returned to home
position (until PS31, PS34, PS30, and PS33 come ON).
Control of these operations is implemented by the FNS
CB (FNS control board) via the RB (relay board).
g. Cartridge detection
Stapler-internal switches SW1 (cartridge detection/R) and
SW3 (cartridge detection/F) detect the presence or absence of the respective cartridge. The switch outputs an
error signal if the cartridge is missing or is improperly set.
h. Staple-low detection
SW2 (staple detection/R) or SW4 (staple detection/F)
comes ON and outputs an error signal when the amount
of staples in the respective cartridge runs low.
e. Control of the stapler paper-end stopper (folding)
(FS-108BM only)
On receipt of the START button ON signal, the staplingand-folding stopper is moved and set into position. M14
(stapling-and-folding stopper) moves the stopper into position, and M17 (stapling-and-folding stopper release) sets
it.
A preset period after PS5 (stacker conveyance passage)
detects the final paper set, M17 releases the stopper and
the papers move to the folding unit. Setting and releasing
of the stopper is repeated for each paper set.
A preset period after PS25 (folding exit) detects the passage of the final paper set, M14 returns the stopper to its
home position. Arrival at home position is detected b y P23
(stapling-and-folding stopper HP).

1. Raising and lower (Main tray up-down)
The rotation of the tray up-down motor (M3) turns the worm
gear on the motor’s shaft. The rotational force propagates
through the gear box and turns the up-down shaft, thereby
turning the pulleys fixed to the ends of the shaft (one pulley at each end). The wires attached to the pulleys cause
the tray to move up and down.
Clockwise turning of the M3 worm gear generates upward
tray movement, while counterclockwise turning generates
downward movement.

2. Remo ving and Reinstalling the Adjustment Cover
a. Procedure
(1) Use a stubby screwdriver to remove the set
screw holding the cover in place, and take the
cover off.
M18 (folding stopper) drives the folding stopper in accordance with the paper size. M20 (folding conveyance) transports the paper into position for folding. Folding is implemented by the action of the folding knife and the folding
rollers.
The folding rollers and pressure rollers apply pressure to
the folded paper set while at the same time exiting it to the
booklet tray.
The folding knife is driven by M19 (folding-knife).
1. Operation
On receipt of the START button ON signal from the main
body , M18 (f olding stopper) mov es the folding stopper into
the predetermined position.
Upon completion of paper stapling, M20 (folding conveyance) starts up and drives the folding conveyance rollers
and folding conveyance belt so as to transport the stapled
paper set up to the stopper.
Switching ON of PS28 (folding passage/1) causes M20 to
stop and M19 (folding knife) to start. The paper is folded
by the folding knife and folding rollers A and B.
Upon completion of folding, M20 starts again, driving folding rollers and pressure rollers so as to exit the folded set
into the booklet tray.
When PS25 (folding exit) detects exiting of the paper set,
M20 stops and M18 moves the folding stopper to its home
position, stopping when PS27 (folding stopper HP) comes
ON.
Control of these operations is implemented by the FNS
CB (FNS control board).
