SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Installation Environment
Safety considerations usually are directed toward machine design and the possibility of human error. In addition, the environment in which a machine is operated must not be overlooked as a potential safety hazard.
Most electrical equipment is safe when installed in a normal environment. However, if the environment is different from what most people consider to be normal, it is conceivable that the combination of the machine and the room air could present a hazardous combination. This is because heat (such as from fusing units) and electrical arcs (which can occur inside switches) have the ability to ignite flammable substances, including air.
When installing a machine, check to see if there is anything nearby which suggests that a potential hazard might exist. For example, a laboratory might use organic compounds which, when they evaporate, make the room air volatile. Potentially dangerous conditions might be seen or smelled. The presence of substances such as cleaners, paint thinners, gasoline, alcohol, solvents, explosives, or similar items should be cause for concern.
If conditions such as these exist, take appropriate action, such as one of the following suggestions.
∙Determine that the environment is controlled (such as through the use of an exhaust hood) so that an offending substance or its fumes cannot reach the machine.
∙Remove the offending substance.
∙Install the machine in a different location.
The specific remedy will vary from site to site, but the principles remain the same. To avoid the risk of injury or damage, be alert for changes in the environment when performing subsequent service on any machine, and take appropriate action.
Unauthorized Modifications
Konica copiers have gained a reputation for being reliable products. This has been attained by a combination of outstanding design and a knowledgeable service force.
The design of the copier is extremely important. It is the design process that determines tolerances and safety margins for mechanical, electrical, and electronic aspects. It is not reasonable to expect individuals not involved in product engineering to know what
effect may be caused by altering any aspect of the machine’s design. Such changes have the potential of degrading product performance and reducing safety margins.
For these reasons, installation of any modification not specifically authorized by Konica Business Machines U.S.A., Inc., is strictly prohibited.
The following list of prohibited actions is not all-inclu- sive, but demonstrates the intent of this policy.
∙Using an extension cord or any unauthorized power cord adapter.
∙Installing any fuse whose rating and physical size differs from that originally installed.
∙Using wire, paper clips, solder, etc., to replace or eliminate any fuse (including temperature fuses).
∙Removing (except for replacement) any air filter.
∙Defeating the operation of relays by any means (such as wedging paper between contacts).
∙Causing the machine to operate in a fashion other than as it was designed.
∙Making any change which might have a chance of defeating built-in safety features.
∙Using any unspecified replacement parts.
General Safety Guidelines
This copier has been examined in accordance with the laws pertaining to various product safety regulations prior to leaving the manufacturing facility to protect the operators and service personnel from injury. However, as with any operating device, components will break down through the wear-and-tear of everyday use, as will additional safety discrepancies be discovered. For this reason, it is important that the technician periodically performs safety checks on the copier to maintain optimum reliability and safety.
The following checks, not all-inclusive, should be made during each service call:
CAUTION: Avoid injury. Ensure that the copier is disconnected from its power source before continuing.
∙Look for sharp edges, burrs, and damage on all external covers and copier frame.
∙Inspect all cover hinges for wear (loose or broken).
∙Inspect cables for wear, frays, or pinched areas.
v
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
∙Ensure that the power cord insulation is not damaged (no exposed electrical conductors).
∙Ensure that the power cord is properly mounted to the frame by cord clamps.
∙Check the continuity from the round lug (GND) of the power cord to the frame of the copier -- ensure continuity. An improperly grounded machine can cause an electrically-charged machine frame.
Safeguards During Service Calls
Confirm that all screws, parts, and wiring which are removed during maintenance are installed in their original positions.
∙When disconnecting connectors, do not pull the wiring, particularly on AC line wiring and high voltage parts.
∙Do not route the power cord where it is likely to be stepped on or crushed.
∙Carefully remove all toner and dirt adhering to any electrical units or electrodes.
∙After part replacement or repair work, route the wiring in such a way that it does not contact any burrs or sharp edges.
∙Do not make any adjustments outside of the specified range.
Applying Isopropyl Alcohol
Care should be exercised when using isopropyl alcohol, due to its flammability. When using alcohol to clean parts, observe the following precautions:
∙Remove power from the equipment.
∙Use alcohol in small quantities to avoid spillage or puddling. Any spillage should be cleaned up with rags and disposed of properly.
∙Be sure that there is adequate ventilation.
∙Allow a surface which has been in contact with alcohol to dry for a few minutes to ensure that the alcohol has evaporated completely before applying power or installing covers.
Summary
It is the responsibility of every technician to use professional skills when servicing Konica products. There are no short cuts to high-quality service. Each copier must be thoroughly inspected with respect to safety considerations as part of every routine service call. The operability of the copier, and more importantly, the safety of those who operate or service the copier, are directly dependent upon the conscientious effort of each and every technician.
Remember...when performing service calls, use good judgement (have a watchful eye) to identify safety hazards or potential safety hazards that may be present, and correct these problem areas as they are identified -- the safety of those who operate the copier as well as those who service the copier depend on it!

(Read section) |
The originals, which have been placed in the paper feed tray with the front side facing up, are fed starting with the topmost original. Originals that are fed are not conveyed to the original glass. Reading is carried out as the original passes by the slit glass section set midway through the conveyance path.
The operational modes of the DF-312 include three modes: (a) single side original copy mode, (b) double side original copy mode, (c) mixed original copy mode. The conveyance path is different for each mode.
Single side original copy mode (single side to single side copy, single side to double side copy)
The originals set in the paper feed tray are fed by means of the paper feed roller and separation roller to the position where PS306 (original registration) goes on.

When PS306 goes on, pre-feed is carried out by the registration roller and the original is conveyed to the conveyance roller at high speed. When PS308 (original conveyance) detects the leading edge of the original, the conveyance roller switches to scanning speed and conveys the original to the slit glass.
If there is next original at this time, pre-feed is carried out.

Double side original copy mode
(double side to single side copy, double side to double side copy)
The original conveyance operation until the start of scanning for the front side of the 1st double side original is the same as that of the single side original copy mode.
When scanning starts and reading of the front side is completed, the original is conveyed to the reversal section when the flapper opens and the paper exit path is blocked.
When PS309 (original reversal) detects the leading edge of the original that has been conveyed to the reversal section and goes ON, pressure is applied to the pressure pulley. As a result, the reversal roller and pressure pulley clasp the original on both sides and convey it to the inside of the reversal section.

PS309 (Original reversal) |
When PS309 detects the trailing edge of the original and goes OFF, the reversal roller rotates in the reverse direction to feed the original from the reversal section to the conveyance roller. Since the original passes over the top of the flapper at this time, the front and back sides are reversed and the original is sent to the conveyance roller.
The conveyance roller conveys the original to PS308 (original conveyance) at high speed.
When PS308 detects the leading edge of the original, the conveyance roller switches back to scanning speed and conveys the original to the slit glass for the original to be scanned.

When PS309 detects the trailing edge of the original and goes OFF, the reversal roller rotates in the reverse direction to feed the original from the reversal section to the conveyance roller. Since the flapper is closed at this time, the original is conveyed along the flapper and is ejected to the paper exit section via the paper exit roller.

Mixed original copy mode
The mixed original copy mode can handle both the same series and different series of originals.
The size of the original in the conveyance direction is determined by the ON time of PS306, size detection operation take place prior to the scanning operation.
The original then stops at the scanning standby position. The subsequent operations are the same for all copy modes. For details on the size detection operation, refer to Paper Feed/Paper Eject section “Original Size Detection Control”.
