DF-600 / 610 (KM-4530 / 5530, KM-6330)
If both front and rear staple cartridges are empty and one of these two
cartridges is exchanged with a full one, the empty status for the
remaining empty staple cartridge is not detected anymore and user
does not know the one remaining cartridge needs to be filled.
Phenomenon
When A4 or letter size paper is stapled askew at one or two positions,
the ejected bundle may not align properly.
Correction
The ‘OFF’ timing of the ‘SOLENOID, EJECT GUIDE’ has been
changed from 80 msec. to 200 msec. after eject switch is turned on.
When B4 size paper is moved for stapling, the paper edge may catch
behind the ejection guide mylar.
Correction
When B4 size paper is stapled askew at one position on front or rear,
the length of moving is changed from 15 mm. to 18 mm.
Phenomenon
In case of 2 locations stapling, the 2nd location is stapled 100 msec.
after the 1st staple. The 2nd staple may break however due to an
incomplete stapling process because the timing of 2nd stapling is
during the peak of electric current (from staple motor).
Correction
Software has been changed so that the 2nd point is stapled 200 msec
after the 1st point is stapled.
Phenomenon
In below situation, any jammed paper on the middle tray cannot be
removed because main tray is not going down.
Situation
- The 2nd sheet of paper jams between the copier and finisher when
using the job tray.
- Although the jammed paper can and is removed according to the
steps indicated on operation panel, the main tray will not go down.
Correction
Software has been changed so that the main tray goes down normally.
Phenomenon
In case of staple copy, before the start of stapling, if the connector of
stapler comes off, and consequently a paper jam occurs, the position of
jammed paper and guidance may not be indicated.
Correction
Software has been changed so that the position of jammed paper and
guidance are indicated normally on operation panel.
