SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

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 nor ­mal, 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 poten-
tial hazard might exist. For example, a laboratory
might use organic compounds which, when they evaporate, make the room air volatile. Potentially dan ­gerous 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.
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-inclu­sive, 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.
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 elec ­tronic aspects. It is not reasonable to expect individu ­als not involved in product engineering to know what
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, compo ­nents 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 alco ­hol, 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!

ORIGINAL CONVEYANCE PROCESS

As illustrated below, the DF-314 is made up of a original feed section, conveyance section, original exit section and reversal section.
Conveyance section
Slit glass (Read section)
Original feed section
Reversal section
Original exit section
With the originals set face-up on the original feed tray, they are fed from the topmost original. Rather than being conveyed to an original glass surface, the originals that are fed in and read when they pass a slit glass placed in the conveyance path.
There are 3 modes in the DF-314 operation mode, single­side original copy mode, double-side original copy mode, and mixed original copy mode, and the conveyance path differs according to each mode.
When PS311 turns ON, the original is re-fed by the registration roller and conveyed to the original conveyance roller. The original conveyance roller conveys the original to the position where PS312 (original feed PS) turns ON.
Conveyance rollers
Original feed PS (PS312)
Registration roller
Original registration PS (PS311)
The conveyance roller turns, and scanning starts. If there is another original waiting, it is pre-fed at this point.
The scanning of the original is conveyed out when the original passes over the slit glass. The original which has been read is exited to the original exit tray by the original exit roller with the exit SD OFF (i.e. with the exit guide raised).
Single-Side Original Copy Mode
(Single-side to single-side copy, single-side to double-side copy)
The original that has been set in the paper feed tray is lifted by the paper lift-up plate so it comes into contact with the original feed roller. The original feed roller and the separation roller pre-feed to the position where P311 (original registration PS) turns on.

Double-side Original Copy Mode

(Double-side to single-side copy, double-side to double-side copy)
The original set in the original feed tray is pre-fed to the position where PS311 (original registration PS) turns ON by the original feed roller and the separation roller. When PS311 turns ON, the reversal guide opens, the registration roller conveys the original to the reversal section, and the reversal roller conveys the original into the interior of the reversal section.
Reversal guide
Original registration PS (PS311)
After the specified period from when PS311 detects the training edge of the original and goes OFF, the original is conveyed to the stop position at the front edge of the reversal guide. As the original has been reversed at this point, the reversal roller is made to rotate in reverse and it conveys the original to the original conveyance roller. If there is another original waiting, it is pre-fed at this timing.
Registration roller
Reversal roller
The exit SD comes ON (the exit guide is lowered) when scanning of the rear side of the original begins, and the original is again conveyed to the reversal roller. When PS312 detects the rear edge of the original and turns OFF, the original is conveyed as far as the stop position in front of the reversal gate by the timer. The original has been reversed once again by this point so is conveyed to the original conveyance roller. The original conveyance roller conveys the original and reading of the original face side starts.

Mixed Original Copy Mode

The mixed original copy mode supports both same-series originals and different series originals, but as size detection is performed in PS311 ON time, size detection is performed before reading.
After the size of the original is detected, the original stops at the reversal position. Subsequently, operation is the same as that of the two-sided copy mode.
Refer to "ORIGINAL FEED/REVERSAL/ORIGINAL EXIT SECTION/Original size detection control" for size detection operation.

1. Operation a. Original feed
Original feed is started by the transmission of the M301 drive power to the original feed roller, separation roller and paper lift-up plate.
b. 1st original pre-feed
When the copy button is pressed, the M301 starts original pre-feed, and when the conveyed original arrives at PS311, M301 stops temporarily after a specified time. M301 then rotates in reverse, turning the registration roller so that feeding starts again. The original passes PS311, so that PS311 turns OFF. A predetermined time interval after PS311 turns OFF, M301 also turns OFF.
c. 2nd original pre-feed
When there is still an original in the original feed tray, M301 starts after a specified time after PS311 has turned OFF, and starts the pre-feed from after the second sheet. The original is conveyed in the same way as in the 1st. original pre-feed.

d. Scanning operation (except last original)
When the original arrives at PS311, M302 starts after a specified time has elapsed and the original is conveyed to the read section.
Scanning of the original is achieved when the original passes over the surface of the slit glass of the main body optical section.
When the original arrives at PS312, scanning is started after a specified time has elapsed, and when PS312 turns OFF after the original has passed, scanning is stopped after the lapse of a fixed period of time.
e. Scanning operation (last original)
During the scanning operation, when PS301(no original detect PS) turns OFF, the original currently being scanned is judged to be the last original. When the last original has passed PS311, M301 turns OFF after the lapse of a fixed period of time, and when the original has passed PS303 (original exit PS), M302 turns OFF after a specified time.
