[1] PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The SF-A56/A17 is a reversing automatic document feeder (RADF)/
automatic document feeder (ADF) for the copier SF-2025/2030. The
SF-A56 is capable of automatically copying both sides of document
by inverting the document sheets up-side down, while feeding them.
Even document sheets of different lengths and the same width may
be set in the document tray, an internal sensor in the ADF senses the
document size when the document is fed. The copier automatically
selects the proper copy paper corresponding to the document size
along with the appropriate magnification ratio.
If the appropriate copy paper, respective to the document size and
the magnification ratio, is not available, the copier stops copying and
indicates the required paper size on the display.

• If the mode is to be set in combination with other options, use the
table shown below to add up the total of the setting values for all
the peripheral devices to be set, and set that total value.
For example, if the SF-A56 and sorter are to be set, the total
setting value is 1 + 10 = 11. Operate the keys as follows:
The leading edge position can be adjusted within a range of 8 mm
(8 steps) on the stopper side and 7 mm (7 steps) on the glass side
in 1 mm increments. Adjustment can be done separately for the
one-sided, two-sided, and thin paper modes.
9. Adjust the position of the leading edge of originals
• The position of the leading edge of originals fed from the ADF can
be determined using test command 53 .
• Although the leading edge has been factory set to stop at location
(8), it may need to be adjusted depending on the type of originals.
Set to between 0 and 15 as dictated by the copier's performance.
The factory setting is "8".

B. Original size detection
The original size is detected in three ways of different purposes.
1) Original size detection by the original set tray
The original size detection by the original set tray is used in automatic
paper size and automatic magnification selection mode, in order to
recognize the original size when the original is set on the original tray,
allowing the automatic selection of paper size and magnification ratio
of copy.
When originals composed of sheets of different sizes are set, this
detection method recognizes the largest sheet as the original size,
which is determined by the width measured by the original width
volume (DWVR) and the length measured by the original length sensors (DLS1, DLS2).
The original size is determined in the timing of original sensing by the
original set sensor (DSS).
2) Original size detection by the original width sensor
(DWS) in the paper feed section
The original size detection by the original width sensor (DWS) in the
paper feed section is used in automatic paper size and automatic
magnification ration selection mode to determine whether the original
is A4 or A5 (11" x 8.5" or 8.5" x 5.5").
When originals composed of stacked sheets of different sizes are set
in the original tray, the original size cannot be detected by the sensors in the original tray. Therefore, this function is provided to sense
the original size behind the resist roller after the paper feed section
has fed the original, as far as originals of A4 or A5 size (11" x 8.5" or
8.5" x 5.5") (portrait) is concerned. Consequently, if A4- and A5-size
(11" x 8.5" or 8.5" x 5.5") originals (portrait) are stacked and set in the
original tray, the original size detection by the paper feed section
original width sensor (DWS) has the priority over the original size
detection by the original set tray.
When A4- and A5-size (11" x 8.5" and 8.5" x 5.5") originals (portrait)
are stacked and set in the original tray, the original length sensors
(DSL1, DSL2) are not actuated. Therefore, the original width is
sensed by the paper feed section original width sensor (DWS) to
judge A4 or A5 (11" x 8.5" or 8.5" x 5.5").

3) Original size detection by the paper feed motor
rotation sensor (DFMRS)
This function compensates for the inaccuracy of the original size
recognition in the original tray when originals of different sizes are
stacked in the original tray. That is, results of this function has priority
over the original size detection in the original tray. The pulses of the
slit disc rotation of the feed motor (DFM) are counted in the period
before the rear edge of original is sensed (DFD output LOW) by the
original feed sensor after the feed motor (DFM) has started reverse
rotation, that is, after the resist roller has started rotating and feeding
of original from the fed section to the transport section has been
started, to determine the original length.
To improve detection accuracy, the original width is sensed also by
the paper feed section original width sensor (DWS).

section.)

3. Operations
A. Sensor input circuit
[a] Original timing sensor (DTD)
The original timing sensor is a reflection type sensor, and the LED and the photo transistor are integrated into one. Infrared light emitted from the
LED is reflected by the mirror on the opposite side, and the reflected light enters the photo transistor to increase the photo current in the photo
transistor, detecting "No original."
On the other hand, if there is an original between the LED and the mirror, there is no reflection from the mirror. Therefore the photo current does not
increase and the original is detected.
This circuit is also provided with the automatic adjustment function.
The LED cathode is connected to the voltage-current conversion circuit composed of the operation amp (IC13), Q3, and R94. The current value is
controlled with the D-A output (analog voltage output) from the CPU. That is, the operation is made so that the CPU D-A output value (IC11-67 pin)
is equal to IC13 2 pin input voltage (the voltage drop of LED current by R94).
When, therefore, the D-A output value is changed, the current value is also changed.
On the other hand, the photo current of the photo transistor is converted into a voltage value by load resistor R95, and is inputted to IC9 4 pin and
the CPU 57 pin through the noise filter composed of R10 and C19.
R78, R80, R45, and IC9 form a voltage comparator, which compares the input voltage from the sensor with the threshold voltage (about 2V)
generated by dividing +24V with R78 and R80.
When the sensor input voltage exceeds the threshold voltage, the output of IC9 2pin turns LOW, being inputted to the CPU 72 pin as "No original"
signal.
The CPU 57 pin is an A-D input pin, which converts an analog voltage into a digital value inside the CPU. Since the sensitivity of a sensor generally
varies, it is automatically adjusted with the sensitivity at "No original" as the reference voltage. That is, the sensor voltage at "No original" is A-D
inputted to change the D-A output voltage, varying the LED current (LED light intensity) and controlling by the CPU so that the sensor voltage is the
specified constant level.
The D-A output value at that time is unique to every machine, and is stored in the EEPROM (IC3).

[b] Original feed sensor (DFD)
The original feed sensor is a reflection type sensor, and the LED and the photo transistor form a pair. Infrared light emitted from the LED is reflected
by the mirror on the opposite side, and the reflected light enters the photo transistor to increase the photo current in the photo transistor, detecting
"No original."
On the other hand, if there is an original between the LED and the mirror, there is no reflection from the mirror. Therefore the photo current does not
increase and the original is detected.
This circuit is also provided with the automatic adjustment function.
The LED cathode is connected to the voltage-current conversion circuit composed of the operation amp (IC13), Q3, and R94. The current value is
controlled with the D-A output (analog voltage output) from the CPU. That is, the operation is made so that the CPU D-A output value (IC11-68 pin)
is equal to IC13 5 pin input voltage (the voltage drop of LED current by R93).
When, therefore, the D-A output value is changed, the current value is also changed.
On the other hand, the photo current of the photo transistor is converted into a voltage value by emitter resistor R66, and is inputted to IC9 6 pin and
the CPU 56 pin through the noise filter composed of R101and C14.
R79, R81, R46, and IC9 form a voltage comparator, which compares the input voltage from the sensor with the threshold voltage (about 2V)
generated by dividing +24V with R79 and R81.
When the sensor input voltage exceeds the threshold voltage, the output of IC9 1pin turns LOW, being inputted to the CPU 73 pin as "No original"

[c] Reverse sensor (RDD) --- SF-A56 only
The reverse sensor is a reflection type sensor, and the LED and the photo transistor are integrated into one. Infrared light emitted from the LED is
reflected by the mirror on the opposite side, and the reflected light enters the photo transistor to increase the photo current in the photo transistor,
detecting "No original."
On the other hand, if there is an original between the LED and the mirror, there is no reflection from the mirror. Therefore the photo current does not
increase and the original is detected.
This circuit is also provided with the automatic adjustment function.
The LED cathode is connected to the circuit composed of R107, R108, and Q17. A high level or a low level input is passed to the base of Q17 to
vary the LED light quantity.
The base of Q17 is connected to the CPU 49 pin. When the CPU outputs a low level signal, Q17 is turned off and all forward current in the LED
flows through R108.
On the contrary, when the CPU outputs a high level signal, Q17 is turned on and the forward current in the LED flows through R108 and R107 in
parallel. That is, the forward current in the LED is doubled, increasing the light quantity.
On the other hand, the output voltage of the photo transistor is inputted through the noise filter composed of R32 and C20 to IC9 10 pin.
IC9 and R48 form a voltage comparator, which compares the sensor output voltage inputted to 10 pin and the threshold voltage inputted to 11 pin.
When the sensor output voltage is lower than the threshold voltage, the output at IC9 13 pin turns HIGH and the "original present" signal is inputted
to the CPU (IC11) 75 pin.
Since the sensitivity of a sensor generally varies, it is automatically adjusted with the sensitivity at "No original" as the reference voltage. That is, the
sensor voltage at "No original" is reduced into 1/3 by R74 and R63 and inputted to the CPU 58 pin.
At that time, the base of Q17 is at LOW level and the light quantity of the LED is kept low. The CPU 58 pin is an A-D input pin, which allows
conversion of an analog voltage into a digital voltage in the CPU. When the sensor output voltage inputted to the CPU is in the range of 1V ∼ 4.5V,
the gate array outputs from 18 pin the PWM signal of the duty corresponding to the voltage inputted to the CPU 58 pin.
The PWM signal is inputted to the integral circuit composed of R31 and C46 and converted into an analog voltage to be inputted to IC14 3 pin.
The converted analog output is the same as the sensor output voltage inputted to the CPU.
C22, R7, R6, and IC14 form a non-reverse amplifier, which amplifies the analog voltage inputted to IC14 3 pin to be double and outputs from 1 pin.
The output voltage is inputted to IC9 11pin as the threshold voltage, and compared with the sensor output voltage. That is, the threshold value is set
to 2/3 of the HIGH level of each sensor output. When the sensor output voltage inputted to the CPU 58 pin is lower than 1V, the gate array 18 pin
outputs a HIGH level signal to increase light quantity of the LED. If the output voltage is increased to the range of 1V ∼ 4.5V by this, the threshold
value setting similar to the above is performed.
If the sensor output voltage remains lower than 1V even though the light quantity of the LED is increased, it is judged as a sensor error.
If the sensor output voltage inputted to the CPU 58 pin is greater than 4.5V, the threshold value cannot be set and it is judged as a sensor error.
The set threshold voltage and the logic of CPU 49 pin when setting are unique to each machine and stored in the EEPROM (IC3).

[e] Tray original size sensor, volume circuit
This circuit senses the original size on the tray, and its sensor section is built in the tray.
The original width is sensed by the slide volume (DWVR), and the original length is sensed by the two photo interrupters (DLS1, DLS2). (Only DSL1
for AB series)
The DWVR varies the resistance of the variable resistor with the lever attached to the original guide, and the variation is sensed as the voltage
value.
The signal is analog-inputted to the CPU A-D input pin (IC11 59 pin). On the other hand, DSL1 and DSL2 use the photo interrupter which is
integrated with the light emitting diode and the photo transistor. When there is an original, the lever-type actuator interrupts the optical path. The
signal is inputted through the noise filter to the CPU.
DSL1: IC11 62 pin
DSL2: IC11 63 pin
The original end sensor (DED) which senses the third original also uses a photo interrupter, and the signal is inputted through the noise filter to the
CPU (IC11 78 pin).

The DSS uses a photo interrupter which is integrated with a light emitting diode and a photo transistor. The signal is passed through the noise filter

[g] Original width sensor (DWS)
The DWS uses a photo interrupter which is integrated with a light emitting diode and a photo transistor. When there is an original, the lever-type
actuator interrupts the optical path.
The circuit composed of Q12, R100, R29, and R47 is the connector disconnection sense circuit. When the connectors are not disconnected, the
base voltage (5V) of Q12 is divided by R100 and the LED of the photo interrupter to be about 1.2V, conducting the transistor.
At that time, the photo transistor is turned off under "paper empty" state, and the collector current of Q12 flows into R47.
Therefore, the signal DWS turns HIGH by the value (about 4.5V) obtained by dividing +5V with R49 and R47. When in "Paper present," the photo
interrupter turns ON and the collector current of Q12 flows into the photo interrupter. As a result, signal DWS turns LOW.
On the other hand, when a connector is disconnected, the base voltage of Q12 becomes +5V, turning off the transistor. Therefore, signal DWS turns
LOW and it is judged as "Paper present."
Signals are inputted through the noise filter composed of R33 and C21 to the gate array (IC7 54 pin).
This circuit senses open/close of the ADF unit, the paper feed guide, and the reverse guide, and is connected with three microswitches. Any switch
is closed when its open/close section is closed.
The FGOD directly opens/closes the power to the paper feed motor and the paper feed solenoid. If the FGOD is not closed, the power is not
supplied to the paper feed motor and the paper feed solenoid.
The AUOD and the TGOD are connected in series to +24V, and directly close the power to the drive sections except for the paper feed motor and
the paper feed solenoid. That is, the power is supplied to the drive sections except for the paper feed motor and the paper feed solenoid only when
the two switches (AUOD, TGOD) are closed.
When the paper feed guide open/close switch is turned on, +24V is applied to the cathode of ZD7, supplying the base current to Q8, conducting Q8,
supplying an open/close signal (a close signal in this case) to IC7 57 pin.
Operations in the other open/close switch circuits are the same as above, and each open/close signal is inputted to IC7.
R44 and C40 form a snubber circuit which absorbs an induced voltage generated when the open/close switch is opened during rotation of the DC
This circuit drives the weight plate which presses the bundle of originals on the tray, the paper feed solenoid which drives the paper feed section
shutter, and the reverse solenoid which drives the reverse guide to lead an original to the reverse path when reversing. The basic composition is the
same. The drive signal (ON at HIGH) from the gate array is inputted to the gate of FET (Q14, Q15).
The ON duty of the drive signal can be varied from 0 to 100% (255 steps). The frequency, however, is 20kHz.

[a] EEPROM (IC3) circuit
This circuit serves as a memory to save the sensitivity data of the reflection type sensors, the adjustment values such as the original set position on
the original table, and the counter values such as the number of originals passed. Data communication with the CPU (IC11) is performed with the
3-wire serial interface.
The saved data are maintained even when the power is turned off.
IC3 1 pin is the chip select pin, which is driven to HIGH when data communication is performed.
2 pin is the serial lock pin, and the serial data are transmitted in synchronization with the clock inputted to this pin.
3 pin is the input pin of serial data from the CPU. 4 pin is the output pin of serial data from IC3.

[b] Reset circuit
This circuit generates reset signals for the CPU and the external G/A, and is composed of IC6 and its peripheral circuits.
IC6 is provided with the reset function activated when the power is turned on and when the power falls below +5V.
The reset state is maintained until a certain time passes from when the power voltage reaches about 4.3V after supplying the power. The reset
maintaining time depends on the capacity of C9.
This circuit is also provided with the watch-dog timer function.
The watch-dog timer is built in the G/A (IC7) and is operated when RES2 turns HIGH. It monitors hung-up or other abnormalities of the CPU. RES2
is reset for the watch-dog timer in the G/A, and is separated from the CPU and RES1 of the G/A by D2. Therefore, the CPU reset and the G/A RES1
do not turn HIGH prior to RES2.
For monitoring, data (initial values) are written from the CPU to the G/A once for every 5ms. (Resetting to the initial values every 5ms.) The data are
counted down inside the G/A. Since the values are reset to the initial values every 5ms, the count normally does not fall to zero. If, however, a
hung-up of the CPU occurs, the data are not reset to the initial values, and the counter becomes zero. At that time, resetting is performed from the
G/A to the CPU and the G/A (RES1), and retry is performed until the CPU is resumed.

[f] Paper feed motor (DFM) current limiting circuit
This circuit limits the motor start current to a constant level, and is composed of the resistor for detection of the current value and the voltage
comparator.
The negative voltage side of the paper feed motor is connected to the;pickup resistor composed of R97, R98, and R99, which converts the current
flowing in the driver circuit into a voltage value.
The converted voltage value is compared with the reference voltage by IC9 comparator.
The reference voltage is obtained by dividing the zenor voltage generated from R84 and ZD2 with R39 and R67. It is about 0.3V. When the
converted voltage value exceeds the reference voltage (about 2.8A in the current value), IC9 14 pin turns LOW and the signal is inputted to the G/A
62 pin, interrupting +24V supply to the motor. As a result, the current value is limited.
When the converted value falls below the reference value, +24V is supplied again to resume conduction to the motor.
Since the operating current of this circuit is considerably great,
it operates only when starting the motor and does not operate in the normal state.

[g] Rush current limiting circuit
This circuit limits a rush current which flows into the current generation capacitors (C53, C54) in the transport motor (DTM)/reverse motor (DRM)
drive circuit, and is composed of the limiting resistor and the FET which allows to flow a constant current.
After closing the ADF open/close switch (AUOD) and the reverse guide open/close switch (TGOD) and until the cathode voltage of ZD3 reaches
16V, the base current is not supplied to Q10, which is kept OFF, driving IC4 3 pin HIGH.
At that time, the base current of Q9 is not supplied to turn off Q9, turning off Q3, flowing a current through R92.
On the other hand, when the cathode voltage of ZD3 exceeds 16V, the base current of Q10 flows to conduct the transistor, turning on Q13. As a
result, the current which was flowing through R92 flows through Q13 to cancel current limiting.
R25 is the discharging resistor which discharges electric charge in C53 and C54 when the ADF open/close switch (AUOD) or the reverse guide
