[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).

A paper jam is detected if the timing sensor is not turned ON, which means absence of a sheet, even when the registration rollers (paper feed motor) have been driven for a fixed distance after they are started. A paper jam is detected if the paper exit sensor is not turned ON by the leading edge of a sheet, which means absence of a sheet, even when the transport motor has been driven for a fixed distance after the main unit sends a paper exit command. A paper jam is detected if the paper exit sensor is not turned ON, which means absence of a sheet, even when the leading edge of a sheet has traveled a fixed distance after it reaches the paper exit rollers (horizontal transport rollers 2). A paper jam is detected if the paper exit sensor is not turned ON, which means absence of a sheet, even when a sheet has been transported a fixed distance by the transport motor after the reverse sensor is turned ON, which means presence of a sheet. A paper jam is detected if the reverse sensor is not turned ON, which means absence of a sheet, even when the reverse motor has been driven for a fixed distance after leading-edge registration. A paper jam is detected if the reverse sensor is turned ON, which means absence of a sheet, even when the reverse motor has been driven for a fixed distance while a sheet is exiting from the reverse section. A paper jam is detected if the registration sensor is not turned OFF, which means presence of a sheet, even when the paper feed motor has been driven for a predetermined amount after a sheet reaches the starting position of leading-edge registration. A paper jam is detected if the timing sensor is not turned OFF, which means presence of a sheet, even when the paper feed motor has been driven for a fixed distance after the registration sensor is turned OFF, which means absence of a sheet. A paper jam is detected if the paper exit sensor is not turned OFF, which means presence of a sheet, even when the transport motor has been driven for a predetermined amount after the paper exit sensor is turned ON, which means presence of a sheet. A paper jam is detected if the paper exit sensor is not turned OFF, which means presence of a sheet, even when the transport motor has been driven for a fixed distance after the trailing edge of a sheet reaches the paper exit rollers (horizontal transport rollers 2).

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.
