GENERAL PRECAUTIONS REGARDING THE INSTALLATION
AND SERVICE FOR THE COPIER 2060, 2860/70 AND THE
AUTOMATIC DUPLEXING UNIT MD-5002
1. Transportation/Installation
• When transporting/installing the copier, use two persons and be sure to use the positions as indicated below.
The copier is fairly heavy and weighs approximately 73 kg (161 lb), therefore pay full attention
when handling it. (2870: 84 kg)
4 portions
2. Installation
• Be sure to use a dedicated outlet with AC 115V/15A (220V, 240V/10A) or more for its power
source.
• The copier must be grounded for safety.
Never ground it to a gas pipe or a water pipe.
• Select a suitable place for installation.
Avoid excessive heat, high humidity, dust, vibration and direct sunlight.
• Also provide proper ventilation as the copier emits a slight amount of ozone.
• To insure adequate working space for the copying oper ation, keep a minim um clearance of 80 cm
(32”) on the left, 80 cm (32”) on the right and 10 cm (4”) in the rear.
3. Service of Machines
• Basically, be sure to turn the main switch off and unplug the power cord during service.
• Be sure not to touch high-temperature sections such as the exposure lamp, the fuser unit, the
damp heater and their periphery.
• Be sure not to touch high-voltage sections such as the chargers and the high-voltage tr ansformer .
• Be sure not to touch rotating/operating sections such as gears, belts, pulleys, etc.
• When servicing the machines with the main switch turned on, be sure not to touch live sections
such as the lamp terminal, etc.
• Use suitable measuring instruments and tools.
Page 3
4. Main Service Parts for Safety
• The breaker , door switch, fuse, thermostat, thermofuse, thermistor, etc. are particularly important
for safety. Be sure to handle/install them properly.
5. Notice Labels
• Be sure to check the rating plate and the cautionary labels such as “Unplug the power cord during
service”, “Hot area” etc. to see if there is any dirt on their surface or if they are properly stuck to the
copier during servicing.
6. Disposition of Consumable Parts/Packing Materials
• Regarding the recovery and disposal of the copier, supplies , consumable parts and packing materials, it is recommended to follow the relevant local regulations or rules.
7. When parts are disassembled, reassembly is basically the reverse of disassembly unless
otherwise noted in this manual or other related documents. Be careful not to reassemble
small parts such as screws, washers, pins, E-rings, toothed washers in the wrong places.
8. Basically, the machine should not be operated with any parts removed or disassembled.
9. Precautions Against Static Electricity
• The PC board must be stored in an anti-electrostatic bag and handled carefully using a wristband,
because the ICs on it may become damaged due to static electricity.

5.4.1Dot matrix LCD display circuit
(1) Structure
• Dot matrix LCD display circuit has a display capacity of 40 characters (20 characters x 2 lines).
• 1 character is a unit consisting of ON/OFF lights
made of 35-element (5 x 7) dots.
(2) Drive Operation
• LED control: The LCD’s internal control driver drives.
• What character is displayed in what position: IC19 (main CPU), IC9 (HC244), IC37 (7407), and
IC18 (gate array) of the logic circuit control.
• Message data and executable programs are stored in the main PROM.
• The character codes are stored in the PROM on the LCD.
The main CPU divides the display bloc k into 4 b locks . The main CPU outputs the RAM address data
for the starting position at which each block is displayed and then outputs display data for the number
of characters (10 characters) to be displayed to the LCD. When the message is changed, the main
CPU outputs the display data for the blocks 1~4.

34
(4a)
When changing the display data only for the reproduction ratio, the leading RAM address data in the
display position of the reproduction-ratio block (4a)
Display blocks
are first output and then the display data for the
number of reproduction-ratio characters (4 characters) are output to the LCD.
For example, the following shows how the LED LP12 (APS) lights up for displaying “automatic paper
sensing”.

When DSPON0 signal becomes “L” lev el, tr ansistor Q2 is turned ON. Further, when IC4 pin14 (D10)
becomes “L” level, current flows from +5VD to LP12 (APS) through the transistor. In this way LP12
(APS) lights up.
The drive system consists of a drum (cleaner unit), developer unit, transport belt, heat roller, exit roller,
transport roller, cassette feed roller and aligning roller.
The drive system is driven by the main motor.
6.2Description of Operations
•Drum drive ......................... Main motor rotation is transmitted to the drum drive pulley via the timing
(Cleaner unit) belt, and drives the drum gear.
•Developer unit drive ........... Main motor rotation is transmitted to the developer unit drive gear via
the timing belt and the gear.
•Heat roller drive .................. Main motor rotation is transmitted to the heat roller gear via timing belt
and gears, and drives the heat roller.
•Transport belt ..................... Transport belt gear is driven by the heat roller gear via the idle gear.
•Exit roller ............................ Exit roller gear is driven by the heat roller gear via the idle gear.
•Aligning roller ..................... Main motor rotation is transmitted to the aligning roller clutch via the
timing belt and gears.
•Transport roller................... Main motor rotation is transmitted to the transport roller clutch via timing
belts and gears.
•Cassette feed roller............ Main motor rotation is transmitted to the cassette feed roller via timing
belts and gears.

(1)The LGC transmits control signals for main motor rotation. (MAIN-CW/CCW: Direction of rotation,
MAINMOT-ON: Motor rotation command)
(2)The excited phase switching unit excites each phase on the main motor → Main motor runs.
(3)Hall elements A to C are used to detect the rotation position of the motor (or rotor).
(4)The excited phase switching unit switches the excitation for each phase.
(By repeating (2) through (4) above, the motor keeps running.)
(5)The FG pulse is generated by the FG pulse pattern and N/S magnets of rotor installed on the main
motor.
(6)The phases and velocities of the FG pulse and the reference frequency from the LGC are com-
pared, and the differences are added. Further to this are added the fluctuations in the supply volt-
age. (Signal generation)
(7)Changes the switching timing for the excited phase switching unit to match the signal amount ob-
tained in step (6).
i.e. control is done to equalize the FG pulse and reference frequency. → The main motor runs at a
constant speed. (Locked range state.)
(8)When the main motor enters the locked range state, the excited phase switching unit transmits the
PLL-OK signal to the LGC. (“L” level).
(9)When the MOT-BRK from LGC enters “L” level, the main motor rotation is braked, and when the
MAINMOT-ON signal enters “H” level, the main motor stops.
Switches the rotation direction of the main motor. When this signal becomes “L” level, the main
motor rotates counterclockwise as viewed from the rear side, and drives the developer unit, drum,
heat roller, etc.
(2)PLL-OK signal (MOT → LGC: Output)
When the cycle of FG pulse deviation from the reference frequency is within fixed range, this state
is specified as lock range (normal rotation), and this PLL-OK signal becomes “L” lev el. Also , at this
time, the LED “LP1” light comes on.
(3)F-MOT-REF signal (LGC → MOT: Input)
This signal is a reference clock signal for the main motor to rotate at a fixed speed.
(4)MOT-BRK signal (LGC → MOT: Input)
When it becomes “L” level, the main motor rotation is broken down.
(5)MAINMOT-ON signal (LGC → MOT: Input)
This signal is main motor ON/OFF control signal, when it becomes “L” level, the motor rotates.

In this copier, the surf ace of the original is directly exposed to light, and the reflected light is conducted to
the surface of the drum via the mirror, lens, and slit.
The whole original image is reflected on the drum surface through the light source being scanned from
the leading edge to the trailing edge.
This area where functions as above are performed is called the optical section, located at the upper side
of the copier.
The construction and purpose of the optical section are the followings:
(1)Original glass
The original is placed on this glass. Light from the exposure lamp exposes the surface of the original through this original glass.
(2)Carriage 1
Carriage 1 consists of the exposure lamp, reflector, mirror 1, thermofuse, and light distribution
adjustment plates, etc. Carriage 1 is scanned by the scanning motor. The relation between the
scanning speed and the drum rotation speed is specified as follows. In actual-size copying, both
speeds are the same. The reproduction ratio of the direction of paper transport (lengthwise reproduction ratio) is specified by this scanning speed being changed. In enlargement copying, the scanning speed is slower than the drum rotation speed, and in reduction copying it is faster.
Light distribution plates
Reflector
Mirror 1
a. Exposure lamp
The light source for exposing the original to light.
b. Reflector
The reflection plate for using the exposure lamp effectively.
The sub-reflector is slit for optical path width cutting.
The mirror for conducting the reflected light from the original to mirror 2 (mentioned later).
d. Thermofuse
Prevents the exposure lamp from an increase in temperature due to excessive lighting.
e. Light distribution adjustment plates
It is positioned to shield the light irradiated from the reflector on the surface of original, and adjusts the
light intensity.
If the positions for the installation of this adjustment plate at the front or rear side are shifted, and the
light intensity is different at both sides, this may cause uneven light distribution.
(3)Carriage 2
Consists of mirror 2 and 3, conducts the reflected light from mirror 1 to the lens via mirror 2 and 3.
This is also scanned by the scanning motor in the same way as carriage 1.
The scanning speed is half that of carriage 1.
(The scanning distance is also half.)
It is driving by the lens motor. The reflected light from mirror 3 is reversed at the lens focus, and
conducted to mirror 4 (mentioned later).
Lens
Lens unit
(5)Mirror unit
The mirror unit consists of mirror 4 and 5, and conducts the reflected light passing the lens to mirror
6 via mirror 4 and 5. This is driven by the mirror motor. Changing of positions of the lens unit and
mirror unit alters the reproduction ratio of the vertical direction of paper transport (lateral reproduction ratio).
When the distance of the light path is equal between the original surface and the lens focus and the
lens focus and the drum surface, actual-size copying is obtained.
When the former is longer, reproduction copying is performed, and when shorter, enlargement
copying.
Conducts the reflected light from mirror 5 to the slit.
Mirror 6
(7)Slit (glass)
The sub-reflector performs slit functions therefore the slit glass only protects the optical section
from toner dust, etc.
(8)Copy-area indicator unit
This is located inside the original scale. This is f or indication of the maximum area in which the cop y
can be made at that time.
The indicator is driven by the document motor. The original range is indicated with the copy-area
indicator and orange line on carriage 1.
The scanning motor rotation is transmitted to carriages 1 and 2 via the timing belt and the carriage drive
wire. Carriage 1 and 2 are first moved to home position. The home position is detected when carriage 1
passes the home switch. When the PRINT key is pressed, carriages 1 and 2 scan the original.
•If the lens/mirror switch is on, the lens unit is transported to the exit side. Then the mirror unit is
transported to the feed side, and it is positioned for actual size copying.
•If the lens/mirror switch is off, the switches are turned on by the lens unit, then the mirror unit in that
order and both units are positioned for actual-size copying.
When the reproduction ratio is selected, the lens unit and the mirror unit are positioned accordingly using
the actual-size position as the starting (standard) position.
7.3.3Document motor
The front and rear copy area indicators are set at home position, that is, for maximum width, via the
timing belt. When the paper size or reproduction ratio is changed, the indicators are positioned for the
specified size and the original setting position is indicated on the glass.
7.3.4Optical fan motor
Stops during standby and rotates during copying, and cools the optical section.
7.4.1Pulse motor drive circuit (constant current type)
The scanning motor (M2) is driven by hybrid IC STK6713BMK4 of the unipolar constant current chopper
drive. The driving circuits of A and A phases are shown below. Since B and B phases are exactly the
same, they are omitted here.

The circuit configuration on the inside of the IC is composed of each phase excitation switching section
(IC2), driver (F1, F2), comparator (IC1), and current detection resistor (R7).
The following explains the circuit operation when the A phase is excited.
1øA phase becomes “L” level (øA is “H” level).
2Reverse input E of the comparator (IC1) is applied the reference voltage which depends on the
resistance divided voltage of the R51, R55, and the R58.
Non-reverse input B is “L” level. Therefore, the output C of IC1 becomes “L” level.
3According to step 1 and 2, D of IC2 becomes “H” level, and F1 is turned ON. (conductive condi-
tion).
4Current flows into the coil A from the power supply of +24V, and it gradually increases.
5The terminal voltage of the current detection resistor R11 increases, and C becomes “H” le v el and
F1 goes OFF from the moment when voltage B becomes higher than voltage E.
6Because the winding method of coil A and A is bipolar winding, the energy stored in coil A is induced
in coil A, and is discharged using the coil A.
That is, A current flows in direction of DG (Drive Ground), R7, F2 diode and coil A.
7When the voltage stored in the condenser C1 lowers, and becomes lower than voltage E , C
becomes “L” level and F1 comes ON again, and winding current of A phase increases.
8In this manner, the ON/OFF operation of the motor current (constant current chopping operation) is
repeated.

The limit of winding value is changed in high torque and low torque by the D/A output. In low torque the
current is lower, in high torque the current is higher.

The exposure control circuit has the following two functions:
A Manual exposure mode ..................A constant lamp voltage corresponding to the set exposure
step on the exposure lamp is applied.
B Automatic exposure mode ..............The quantity of light reflected by the surface of the original,
which varies infinitely with the lightness and darkness of
the surface of the original, is detected by the automatic exposure sensor circuit, and the voltage applied to the exposure lamp is continually varied accordingly; a high lamp
voltage being impressed for dark originals and a low lamp
voltage for light originals.
7.5.2Operation of lamp regulator
A typical characteristic curve is shown in the following diagram.
By means of a phase-angle control system, a lamp voltage corresponding to the PWM pulse duty
ratio input is generated even if some fluctuation occurs in the AC input voltage.
By the action of IC1, the incidence of light upon photocell PD1 is generated as an AES signal on J1B13 (PWA-LGC).

7.5.4Arithmetic and control unit
The arithmetic and control unit is composed of the following four blocks.
1 AD converter
The AES signal is input into the analog input terminals of the CPU (IC19) and converted to
digital.
2 SRAM with built-in battery (BC-RAM)
Consists of IC30, which stores exposure adjustment data to ensure that optimum exposure is
performed for each reproduction ratio and for automatic exposure.
3 Main CPU (IC19)
Incorporates software which computes the voltage to be applied to the lamp in accordance with
the copying mode, such as enlargement/reduction, automatic exposure, and manual exposure,
and the adjustment data in BC-RAM.
4 PWM timer circuit
Consists of the circuit shown in figure below.
The data resulting from the computation performed by the CPU described in item 3 above, are
converted to PWM signals by the gate array, and output to J2-A17 via IC10 from the PWM
output terminal of the gate array.
This circuit detects the original size (standard sizes only) using the 3-beam type reflecting photosensor
and 2 – 3 reflecting photosensors (3 for A4 series, 2 for LT series) on the base frame of the optical unit.
7.6.1Principle of original-size detection
Original glass
Original
On the base frame of the optical unit, the reflecting
photosensor (3-beam type) and 2 – 3 reflecting
photosensors (3 for A4 series, 2 for LT series). Each
photosensor consists of an infrared light emitting
diode (light-emitting side LED) and a phototransistor
(light-receiving side). When an original is placed
on the original glass, the light emitted by the LEDs
is reflected by the original and led to the
phototransistor. In this way, the presence or absence of an original is detected by whether reflected
light exists or not.

7.6.2Original size detection
(1)If the copier is set in the original size detection mode, the carriage is set at its home position.
(2)Detection is performed in an instant when the original cover is opened, each sensor receive the
reflecting light and the condition of a matrix shown in (4) are satisfied.
(3)Original size detection is performed when the output signals from each sensor are input to the gate
array (IC18) and the main CPU (IC19). IC18 and IC19 are on the logic PC board.
(4)Original size is determined by a combination of the presence/absence of the original. Combination
charts for size determination of A4 series and L T series are shown below in input le v el at ports PD1
~ PD3 (Main CPU: IC19) and ports IN30 ~ IN32 (Gate array: IC18).

This unit sends paper which is set in the paper cassette or the bypass tray to the transfer position.
The paper feeding section is mainly comprised of manual feed roller, pick-up rollers, paper feed rollers,
separation rollers, transport rollers, aligning roller, manual feed switch, paper empty switch, paper size
switch, paper feed switch, paper stop switch and also their drive mechanism.
The following explains each part function.
(1) Pick-up roller/manual feed roller
Sends paper in the bypass tray or the paper cassette to the paper feed roller and the roller moves up
and down on each occasion of paper feeding.
(2) Paper feed roller
This is the opposite of the separation roller, sending paper f ed from the pic k-up roller to the transport
roller.
(3) Separation roller
This is the opposite of the paper feed roller . When two sheets or more are f ed from the pic k-up roller,
the load of the torque limiter of the separation roller is greater than the friction power between the
sheets of paper, the separation roller stops, causing the lower sheet also to stop and not be fed at
that moment. But in the case of single sheet feeding, it rotates at the same timing as the paper feed
roller so that it has the rotation force of that roller.
(4) Transpor t roller
Transport the paper from the feed roller to the aligning roller.
(5) Aligning roller
Paper fed from the paper feed roller is stuck against the aligning roller which is at rest, and leading
edge alignment is performed.
Then the aligning roller rotates to feed paper to the developing position.
Further, the aligning roller is contacted with the brush to prevent paper dust from adhering to the
aligning roller due to paper alignment. The following explains about switches which detect paper
size, paper presence and paper feeding position for ON/OFF control of each roller.
(6) Manual feed switch
Detects if paper is set in the bypass tray. If this is the case, manual paper feeding has priority over
cassette paper feeding.
(7) Paper-empty switch
This sensor detects paper in the paper cassette by the use of the actuator . When there is no paper in
the cassette, the actuator intercepts the transmitted light in the sensor, causing a paper-empty situation to be detected.
Consists of four push-type switches.
In the paper cassette, tabs are installed so that any of these switches (1 to 4) is pressed when a
paper cassette is installed in the copier.
Corresponding to which switch is being pressed, paper size detection is performed.
(9) Paper stop switch
Detects the leading/trailing edge of paper passing through the paper transport roller.
Jam detection such as for paper misfeeding, etc. is also used.
(10)Paper aligning switch
Detects that the leading edge of the paper has arrived at the aligning roller.
Also detects that the trailing edge of the paper has passed through the aligning roller.
If the former is detected, it reads that the aligning roller has completed paper alignment.
When drive power is transmitted to the feed roller, rotation power is sent to the pick-up lever via the
spring clutch. Then the pick-up arm falls by its own weight and the spring clutch stops in the position in
which it has bumped into the stopper.
When the drive power of the feed roller is lost, the pick-up lever is lifted up by the force of the lever spring
after which the pick-up arm is also raised.

When the cassette is inserted, the cassette lever d pushes up the lever a in the direction A. Then the
pick-up roller is caused to fall by its own weight due to the link mechanism of the levers b and c.
Since no paper separation claws are used in the
cassette, a paper separation roller is installed inside the machine. The separation roller section
consists of a paper feed roller, separation roller,
spring joint, etc., as shown.
The feed roller is rotated by the feed clutch in the
direction of the arrow () at the same timing
as the pick-up roller.
As shown in the lower right figure, two sheets feeding are occured, since the friction between the
sheets is smaller, the low er sheet is stopped being
fed any further while the upper sheet is forced to
be transported by the feed roller in the direction of
the arrow ().

roller’s braking f orce, the separation roller is f orced
to rotate causing the sheet to be sent toward the
aligning roller ().
When, two sheets (1 and 2) have entered into
the separation roller section at the same time, since
the powers of the feed roller’s transporting and
separation roller’s braking are g reater than the friction power of the paper , the paper 1 is transported
toward in the direction of the arrow () and
the paper 2 is not transported any further by the
separation roller.
8.2.1Operation explanation
[A] From power-on until standby status
(1) When the power is turned on for the copier, the tray motors (M13/14) are set to ON and the trays at
each level start to rise. When the trays are raised, the tray-up switches (S28/29) are turned on (L →
H), and the tray motors (M13/14) are turned off, which stops the upward motion of the trays. At this
point, if the empty switches (S3/14) are off (L), it is determined that paper is not present. If the empty
switches are on (H), it is determined that paper is present. The trays stop in their raised position
regardless of whether there is paper or not.
(2) If the power is turned on when the cassette has been removed, the tray motor for that level does not
come on. When the cassette is inserted in the slot, the tray is raised and the presence or absence of
paper is determined.
(3) If either of the paper stop switches (S7/16) or the aligning switch (S8) is ON (because there is paper
in the paper path) when the power is turned on, it is determined that a paper jam has occurred and
operation is not possible until the paper is removed.
[B] Standby mode
(1) After the paper supply is checked by the raising of the trays as described above, the standby mode
is obtained. In the standby mode, the trays remain in their raised position.
(2) When the cassette is inserted or removed in the standby mode, the tray is raised again to check the
paper supply.
[C] Manual feeding
•The manual feed switch detects the presence of manual feeding paper.
•The manual solenoid is turned on, and the pick-up roller and the manual feed roller are rotated.
•The pick-up roller is lowered, and paper feeding is started.
•The leading edge of the paper turns on the paper aligning switch and is aligned at the aligning
roller.
•The manual f eed clutch is turned off, and the pic k-up roller and man ual f eed roller stopped rotating, and then the pick-up roller is raised.
•The aligning clutch is turned on, and the paper is transported to the transfer process.
[D] Cassette feeding (upper or lower)
•The feed clutch and the transport clutch are turned on, and the feed roller and the transport roller
are rotated, and then paper feeding is started.
•The leading edge of the paper turns on the paper stop switch, then the feed clutch is turned off.
•The leading edge of the paper turns on the aligning switch, and is aligned at the aligning roller.
•The transport clutch is turned off, and the transport roller is stopped.
•The aligning clutch is turned on, and the paper is transported to the transfer process.
