[1] PRODUCT OUTLINE
This inserter is an optional unit for the AR-620 series of digital complex
machines. With the inserter installed, blank sheets or printed sheets
can be inserted as covers (made of cardboard) or tabbed sheets without being subject to the printing process (and without passing through
a fixing unit). When the inserter is combined with a finisher (optional)
and a punch unit (optional), printed sheets can proceed to the hole
punching or stapling process without being subject to the copying process (or without passing through the main unit).

B. Error detection
(1) EEPROM errors
Explanation:
1) Timeout error
The EEPROM is being programmed even after a predetermined
time period (150 msec) has passed.
2) Writing error
The written data does not match the read data even when writing
and reading are retried.
3) Reading error
Checking pieces of data read from three sources results in mis-
match even when checking is retried.
AR-CF2 OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTION 4 - 6
(2) Reverse sensor adjustment error
Explanation:
1) When the DA output exceeds the upper limit
Even when the DA output is increased, the AD input value does
not fall within the appropriated range.
2) When the DA output is less than the lower limit
Even when the DA output is decreased, the AD input value does
not fall within the appropriated range.
C. Alarm detection
Explanation:
An alarm is issued because the size of a sheet in the tray cannot be
correctly detected when both the sub tray pullout detection sensor and
the sub tray retraction detection sensor are turned OFF.
Indication:
Shown by a LED on the operator panel of the inserter or of the main
unit as an inserter alarm.

(3) Motor Drive Circuits
<1> Paper Feed Motor Drive Circuit (K_MOT)
Paper Feed MOT
Not Mounted
This circuit rotates/stops K_MOT and controls its rotational direction
and the motor current. The circuit consists of the CPU (IC6), the D/A
converter (IC13), the constant-current chopper driver IC (IC9), and
other elements.
The signals of the stepping-motor drive excitation pattern from the
CPU (IC6-Pin37,38,70,71) control the motor rotation speed and rotational direction.
<2> Reverse Motor Drive Circuit (H_MOT)
This circuit rotates/stops H_MOTand controls its rotational direction
and the motor current. The circuit consists of the CPU (IC6), the D/A
converter (IC13), the constant-current chopper driver IC (IC7), and
other elements.
The analog signal from the D/A converter (IC13-Pin11) is divided into
the constant voltage by R53 and R54. The divided voltage is applied to
IC9-Pin9,11 to set the motor current.
Reverse MOT
Not Mounted

Transport MOT
Not
Mounted
The analog signal from the D/A converter (IC13-Pin6) is divided into
the constant voltage by R76 and R77. The divided voltage is applied to
IC8-Pin3,14 to set the motor current.
(4) Flapper Solenoid and Registration Clutch Drive Circuit (F_SOL and R_CL)
Flapper SOL
Registration CL
This circuit controls the flapper solenoid operation and the registration
clutch engagement.
When the signal F_SOL is "H", Q2 turns on to activate the solenoid.
Similarly, when the signal R_CL is "H", Q3 turns on to engage the
clutch.
(5) Reset Circuit
Not Mounted
The circuit transmits a reset signal to the CPU when the power is
turned on or a power brownout is detected.
The circuit includes a watchdog timer intended to the CPU system
operation diagnosis.
After the power is turned on, normally IC3-Pin8 (*RES) is "H". However, when the +5V voltage falls to 4.2V or less because of the power
turned off or any trouble, IC3-Pin8 turns "L" to reset the CPU.
The clock signal from the CPU is transmitted to IC3-Pin3 (CK) at a regular interval to clear the watchdog timer embedded in IC3. However, if
the clock signal from the CPU disappears because of a system trouble,
IC3-Pin8 turns "L" to reset the CPU and stop the system operation.
The flapper solenoid drive signal is the PWM signal. At the beginning
of the solenoid activation, the signal is adjusted to set the solenoid at
100% duty cycle. After the plunger of the solenoid is pulled in, the signal is adjusted to set the solenoid at 70% duty cycle in order to reduce
the temperature rise with the plunger hold.
(6) EEPROM Circuit
This circuit consists of the data storage EEPROM and the peripheral
circuits.
IC4 is a storage memory for the adjustment settings of the reverse sensor (reflective sensor) and the paper width detection potentiometer,
and passes the data to the CPU through the four-wire serial interface.
Once data is stored, the data is retained and not cleared even if the
power is turned off.
IC4-Pin1 (CS) is the chip selection terminal, and stays "H" during passing data.
IC4-Pin2 (SK) is the serial clock terminal. The serial data is transmitted
synchronizing with the clock signal input to the terminal
IC4-Pin3 (DI) is the serial data input terminal. IC4-Pin4 (DO) is the
serial data output terminal.
AR-CF2 ELECTRICAL SECTION 8 - 7
(7) Inrush Current Limiting Circuit
JAM cover open/closed
This circuit limits an inrush current flowing into the regeneration capacitor included in the motor drive system to a certain value or less. The
circuit consists of the PTC thermistor (PTH2) that limits a current and
the FET (Q11) that allows a steady current flowing.
When the JAM cover open/closed detection switch is closed, the cathode voltage of ZD1 starts rising to the zener voltage according to the
time constant of R55 and C46. During the rise of the cathode voltage,
Q11 is off because no base current to Q10 keeps Q10 off, and then a
current flows to PTH2 to charge the regeneration capacitor.
(8) Operator Panel Drive Circuit
Operator Panel
After the regeneration capacitor is fully charged, and the cathode voltage of ZD1 reaches over the zener voltage according to the time constant of R55 and C46, Q11 is turned on because the base current from
ZD1 to Q10 turns Q10 on. And then the current flows to Q11 instead of
PTH2 to release the current limitation. The circuit consisting of PTH1
and D3 is intended to eliminate the electric charge accumulated in C46
immediately to limit an inrush current generated by momentary opening and shutting of the cover.
This circuit includes the input circuits of the switches on the operator
panel and the drive circuits of the LEDs.
The circuits connected to CN15-Pin1, 2, 3 are the input circuits of the
switches on the operator panel. The input signal from the switch goes
"L" when the switch is on, "H" when off.
The circuits connected to CN15-Pin4,6-11 are the drive circuits of the
LEDs on the operator panel. The LED lights when the signal is "H",
does not light when "L".
AR-CF2 ELECTRICAL SECTION 8 - 8
(9) Operator Panel Circuit
This is the circuit of the operator panel board.
The operator panel drive board turns each of the LED1-6 on or off, and
detects weather each of the PSW1-3 is on or off.

(1) NOTE FOR THE USE OF LEAD-FREE SOLDER THREAD
When repairing a lead-free solder PWB, use lead-free solder thread.
Never use conventional lead solder thread, which may cause a breakdown or an accident.
Since the melting point of lead-free solder thread is about 40°C higher than that of conventional lead solder thread, the use of the exclusive-use
soldering iron is recommendable.

(2) NOTE FOR SOLDERING WORK
Since the melting point of lead-free solder is about 220°C, which is about 40°C higher than that of conventional lead solder, and its soldering capacity is
inferior to conventional one, it is apt to keep the soldering iron in contact with the PWB for longer time. This may cause land separation or may exceed
the heat-resistive temperature of components. Use enough care to separate the soldering iron from the PWB when completion of soldering is
confirmed.
Since lead-free solder includes a greater quantity of tin, the iron tip may corrode easily. Turn ON/OFF the soldering iron power frequently.
If different-kind solder remains on the soldering iron tip, it is melted together with lead-free solder. To avoid this, clean the soldering iron tip after
completion of soldering work.
If the soldering iron tip is discolored black during soldering work, clean and file the tip with steel wool or a fine filer.

LEAD-FREE SOLDER
The PWB’s of this model employs lead-free solder. The “LF” marks indicated on the PWB’s and the Service Manual mean “Lead-Free” solder.
The alphabet following the LF mark shows the kind of lead-free solder.

(1) NOTE FOR THE USE OF LEAD-FREE SOLDER THREAD
When repairing a lead-free solder PWB, use lead-free solder thread.
Never use conventional lead solder thread, which may cause a breakdown or an accident.
Since the melting point of lead-free solder thread is about 40°C higher than that of conventional lead solder thread, the use of the exclusive-use
soldering iron is recommendable.
(2) NOTE FOR SOLDERING WORK
Since the melting point of lead-free solder is about 220°C, which is about 40°C higher than that of conventional lead solder, and its soldering capacity is
inferior to conventional one, it is apt to keep the soldering iron in contact with the PWB for longer time. This may cause land separation or may exceed
the heat-resistive temperature of components. Use enough care to separate the soldering iron from the PWB when completion of soldering is
confirmed.
Since lead-free solder includes a greater quantity of tin, the iron tip may corrode easily. Turn ON/OFF the soldering iron power frequently.
If different-kind solder remains on the soldering iron tip, it is melted together with lead-free solder. To avoid this, clean the soldering iron tip after
completion of soldering work.
If the soldering iron tip is discolored black during soldering work, clean and file the tip with steel wool or a fine filer.
