Service Manual

This unit is used by installing to the purpose of this unit is to provide post processing of fax and copy output paper. It is provided with the offset
function which discharges output paper by shifting one by one.

Since it is installed to the center tray section of the main unit, no extra space for installation is required.

1) 3 kinds of auto staple functions: There are 3 kinds of stapling positions. (One position in front, one position backward, 2 positions at the
center).

2

2) Punch function (option): By installing the punch unit, paper can be punched to make binder holes. (Paper of 64 to 128g/m

can be used.

OHP film cannot be used.)

Models enable to install the unit MX-2600G/MX-2600N/MX-3100G/MX-3100N

The finisher requires a staple cartridge as a consumable part. (Staple cartridge (about 5,000 staples x 3 pcs.) MX-SCX1)

2. General

This chapter describes operations of the inner finisher. The major operation modes are as follows:

• Non-sort mode

• Offset mode

• Staple mode

• Non-sort mode + punch

• Offset mode + punch

• Staple mode + punch

In this chapter, the basic operations of the non-sort mode, the offset mode, and the staple mode are described.

4. Non-sort mode

When the operation mode command is received from the copier,
the finisher makes the finisher operation status command the JOB
and starts the transport operation.

A. Reception of paper discharged from the main

unit

1) The transport motor (FRM) is driven at the paper exit speed of
the main unit to receive paper from the main unit.

2) Immediately after the paper rear edge passes the bundle exit
roller, the paddle one-rotation solenoid (FPDS) is turned ON to
take-up the paper falling onto the tray.

3) When paper is transported by 10mm after the paper rear edge
passes the bundle exit roller, the bundle exit motor (FAM) is
accelerated to 200mm/sec. Just before the paddle passes the
load tray, the paper surface detection solenoid (FSLS) is
turned ON to hold the paper discharged by the paper holding
lever.

2) After turning ON the inlet port sensor (FED), the roller up/down
motor (FSWM) is driven to lower the bundle exit roller. The
bundle exit motor (FAM) is driven at the paper exit speed of
the main unit to drive the bundle exit roller. When the paper
width is 210mm or more, the alignment motor F (FFJM) and
the alignment motor R (FRJM) are driven by turning ON the
inlet port sensor (FED) to shift the alignment plate to 15mm
inside the paper and put it under the paper.

3) In the case of the punch mode, punching is performed as
described in "7. Punching process."

B. Paper exit

1) After the paper rear edge passes the paper exit roller of the
main unit, the transport motor (FRM) and the bundle exit motor
(FAM) are accelerated to 480mm/sec. When the paper rear
edge passes the inlet port sensor (FED) and then transport of
a certain amount is made, the alignment plate is shifted to the
home position.

Before the paper rear edge passes the bundle exit roller, the
paper surface detection solenoid (FSLS) is turned OFF and
the bundle exit roller speed is decelerated to 100mm/sec at the
same time, performing paper exit deceleration of paper.

4) When the paddle rotates one turn, the bundle exit motor (FAM)
is stopped.

5) When there is next paper, repeat the procedures from "A-1)."

6) When there is no next paper, the actuators are turned OFF
and the finisher operation status command is set to READY,
and the transport operation is terminated.

5. Offset mode

When the operation mode command is received from the copier,
the finisher makes the finisher operation status command the JOB
and starts the transport operation.

A. Reception of paper discharged from the main

unit

1) The transport motor (FRM) is driven at the paper exit speed of
the main unit to receive paper from the main unit. When the
paper length is 216mm or less, the paper exit speed of the sec­ond and later sheets from the main unit is 280mm/sec.

B. Paper take-up and alignment

1) For the first sheet of a bundle, the inlet port sensor (FED) is
turned ON and the roller up/down motor (FSWM) is driven to
lower the bundle exit roller. The bundle exit motor (FAM) is
driven at the paper exit speed of the main unit to drive the bun­dle exit roller.
In addition, the alignment motor F (FFJM) and the alignment
motor R (FRJM) are driven by turning ON the inlet port sensor
(FED) to shift the alignment plate to 15mm outside the paper,
and enter the standby state. After transport of a certain
amount, the roller up/down motor (FSWM) is driven to lift the
bundle exit roller, stopping the bundle exit motor (FAM).

MX-FNX9 OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTIONS 5 – 6

2) For the second and later sheets of a bundle, the inlet port sen­sor (FED) turns ON and a certain amount is transported, and
then the alignment motor F (FFJM) and the alignment motor R
(FRJM) are driven to shift the alignment plate to 15mm outside
the paper and to put it under the standby state.

3) After the paper rear edge passes the paper exit roller of the
main unit, the transport motor (FRM) is accelerated to 480mm/
sec.

4) In the punch mode, punching is performed as described in "7.
Punching process."

5) When the paper rear edge passes the inlet port sensor (FED)
and a certain amount is transported, the roller up/down motor
(FSWM) is driven to lower the bundle exit roller and the bundle
exit motor (FAM) is driven for a certain amount in the take-up
direction at the paper exit speed of the main unit to take up
paper to the process tray. In addition, the belt separation sole­noid (FBRS) is turned ON to lower the take-up belt.

6) After completion of take-up, the roller up/down motor (FSWM)
is driven to lift the bundle exit roller. The alignment motor F
(FFJM) and the alignment motor R (FRJM) are driven for a cer­tain amount to align paper in the process tray. If there are two
or more sheets to be aligned, the procedures are repeated
from "A-1)" for the specified number of sheets. However, the
paper exit operation of "C. Aligned paper exit" is performed for
every 3 sheets.

2) After transport of paper by a certain amount, the alignment
motor F (FFJM) and the alignment motor R (FRJM) are driven
to shift the alignment plate to the home position.

3) When the paper rear edge passes the empty sensor (FSTPD),
the paper surface detection solenoid (FSLS) is turned OFF
and the bundle exit roller speed is decelerated to 100mm/sec
at the same time, decelerating the paper exit operation.

4) Immediately after the paper rear edge passes the bundle exit
roller, the paddle one-rotation solenoid (FPDS) is turned ON to
take up paper falling onto the tray.

5) When the paper rear edge passes the bundle exit roller and
the paper is transported for 10mm, the bundle exit motor
(FAM) is accelerated to 200mm/sec. Before the paddle passes
the load tray, the paper surface detection solenoid (FSLS) is
turned ON to hold the discharged paper with the paper holding
lever.

C. Aligned paper exit

1) After completion of alignment, the belt separation solenoid
(FBRS) is turned ON to lift the take-up belt. The alignment
motor F (FFJM) and the alignment motor R (FRJM) are driven
to separate paper from the alignment plate by 1mm. In addi­tion, the roller up/down motor (FSWM) is driven to lower the
bundle exit roller. The bundle exit motor (FAM) is started at the
speed of 450mm/sec and paper in the process tray is dis­charged.

6) When the paddle rotates one turn, the bundle exit motor (FAM)
is stopped.

7) When there is next paper, the procedures are repeated from
"A-1)."

8) When there is no next paper, the actuators are turned OFF and
the finisher operation status command is set to READY to ter­minate the transport operation.

6. Staple mode

When the operation mode command is received from the copier,
the finisher makes the finisher operation status command the JOB
and starts the transport operation.

A. Reception of paper discharged from the main

unit

1) The transport motor (FRM) is driven at the paper exit speed of
the main unit to receive paper from the main unit. When the
paper length is 216mm or less, the paper exit speed of the sec­ond and later sheets from the main unit is 280mm/sec.
