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 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!

6 DESCRIPTION OF MODES

6-1. Mixed Original Mode

If the Mixed Orig key on the control panel is pressed when the copier is set in 1- or 2- sided mode, or 2-in-1 mode, the copier detects the size of the document each time a document is taken up and fed in. The copier feeds the copy paper of a size selected from among the available paper sources according to the document size detected.

6-2. 1-Sided Original Mode

When in this mode, the copier detects the size of the document which is taken up and fed in first.

The copier therefore needs to determine the size of the copy paper only once based on the detected document size and the copying setting made on the control panel. This makes for faster paper feed timing on the part of the copier.

Note:

If a set of documents of varying sizes are used in this mode, image trouble could result including missing copy image. (The system does not force a misfeed condition.)

6-3. 2-Sided Mode

The copier automatically turns over the 2-sided document for a speedy copying operation (copies are made in the order of the first and second pages).

6-4. 2-in-1 Mode

When in this mode, the copier positions two different documents on the Original Glass side-by-side for making a copy of the two documents onto one side of a single sheet of paper in a single copy run.

If this mode is to be used for a set of documents of different widths, the Mixed Orig key must first be pressed.

6-5. S-ADF (Single Feed) Mode

When a single document is placed in the Single Feed Tray, the ADF automatically takes it up and feeds it in to let the copier run a single copy cycle.

Note:

The ADF automatically takes up and feeds in documents even when two or more documents are placed on the Single Feed Tray; However, it could result in a double feed or other faulty condition. Only one document should therefore be loaded.

6-6. Thin Mode (As set by “Original Thickness” of User’s Mode)

When in this mode, the ADF transports the document at a low speed and stops it without letting it hit against the Original Width Scale.

7-2. Document Pick-Up Mechanism

4486M021CA

The document pick-up mechanism consists of the Document Pressure Pads, Document Stopper Guide Plate and Document Take-Up Roller.

When documents are loaded on the document feed table, they are pressed against the Document Take-Up Roller by the Document Pressure Pads, then they are taken up by the Document Take-Up Roller one by one, commencing with the one from the bottom of the stack.

The Document Stopper Guide Plate determines the leading edge position of the documents loaded in the ADF. It is normally in the raised position, and is lowered at the start of pick-up motion.

SOL1/2 Control

SOL 1 and 2 are energized and de-energized by the signal output from IC3A on PWB-A.

The document take-up mechanism takes up a document from the bottom of a set of documents loaded on the Single Feed Tray and feeds it up to the registration roller. It is driven by the Take-Up Motor.

The Take-Up motor (M1) rotates the Document Take-Up Roller, Document Separator Roller and Single Feed Transport Roller via Gears, Pulleys and Timing Belt.

M1 Control

M1 is controlled by the following output signals. M1 speed is detected by the pulse disk mounted on the motor output shaft and Document Feed Motor Pulse Sensor (M1 CLK). M1 pulses are applied to IC1A-74, and period A is maintained at the same length so that the motor rotates at a constant speed.

7-4. Separating Mechanism

4486M034CA

4486M023CA

Movable Separator Guide Plates are used in the Document Separating Mechanism. The height of the 1st and 2nd Separator Guide Plates can be adjusted by a lever or screws, respectively.

Lowering the Guide Plates can reduce the occurrence of Smudging on the back of documents and smearing of the document image by reducing the number of documents delivered of the Separator Roller.

Note:

Both 1st and 2nd Separator Guide Plates have been set in the raised position at the time of shipment from the factory.

The Separator Pad is designed to be pressed against the Separator Rollers. This ensures that documents are transported one by one even if two or more documents are fed from the Take-Up Roller.

M-11

7-5. Single Feed Mechanism

The single feed mechanism is used to copy documents one at a time only.

Open the Single Feed Tray and set a document in place. The Manual Feed Take-up Sensor (PWB-D) will detect the document and the Single Feed Transport Roller/Registration Roller begins to rotate to take up the document automatically even if the Start key is not pressed.

8-3. Original Width Scale Retraction Mechanism

When the document is positioned on the Original Glass by the ADF, the leading edge of the document is pressed against the Original Width Scale to improve positioning accuracy. During turnover and ejection motion, however, the document must move over the Original Width Scale. For this reason, the Original Width Scale retraction mechanism is employed.

Scale Solenoid SOL3 is used to drive the retraction mechanism.

<Operation>

 

When the document is positioned

: SOL3 is de-energized and the Original Width

 

Scale is raised by the tension of the Original

 

Width Scale Spring.

While the document is being transported and during a copy cycle

:SOL3 is energized and the Original Width Scale is pressed downward by the Original Width Scale Drive Lever and spring.

M3 turns both the Turnover Roller and Exit Roller. These rollers are turned in the same

direction regardless of whether a document is turned over or ejected from the ADF.

M3 Control

Whether M3 is turned forward or backward is determined by the combination of the following signals output from IC13 or PWB-A.

9-3. Turnover/Exit Switching Mechanism

The turnover/exit switching mechanism uses the Turnover/Exit Switching Plate which is swung downward or upward to change the document path, thereby allowing the document to be turned over or ejected from the ADF. This plate is actuated by the Turnover/ Exit Switching Solenoid (SOL4).

10 MISCELLANEOUS

10-1. Document Size Detection Mechanism

1. Width Detection

The width of the document is detected by the sensor located on the Size Sensor (PWB-C).

The sensor is turned ON and OFF by actuator located at points approx. 268 mm respectively, from the Rear Document Guide.

2. Length Detection

The length of the document is detected by the number of pulses generated by the Transport Motor (M2) for the period in which the Registration Roller starts turning and the trailing edge of the document passes the Registration Sensor (PWB-B).

10-2. Raised/Lowered Position Detecting Mechanism

DF Set Switch is located at the front left corner of the copier and a magnet catch is mounted on the front left of the ADF. The position of the ADF, whether raised or lowered, can be detected as the reed switch is turned ON and OFF by the magnet catch.

Opening/closing the ADF serves to reset a misfeed condition and allows selection of a Test Mode operation.
