General Precautions for Installation/Servicing/Maintenance for the KK-1600
The installation and service should be done by a qualified service technician.
1.When installing the KK-1600 to the Plain Paper Copier , be sure to follo w the instructions described in
the “Unpacking/Set-Up Procedure for the KK-1600” booklet which comes with each unit of the
KK-1600.
2.The KK-1600 should be installed by an authorized/qualified person.
3.Before starting installation, servicing or maintenance work, be sure to turn off and unplug the copier
first.
4.When servcing or maintaining the KK-1600, be careful about the rotating or operation sections such
as gear, pulleys, sprockets, cams, belts , etc.
5.When parts are disassembled, reassembly is basically the rev erse of disassembly unless otherwise
noted in this manual or other related materials. Be careful not to reassemble small parts such as
screws, washers, pins , E-rings, toothed washers to the wrong places .
6.Basically, the machine should not be operated with any parts removed or disassembled.
7.Delicate parts for preventing safety hazard problems (such as breakers, thermofuses, fuses, door
switches, sensors, etc. if any) should be handled/installed/adjusted correctly.
8.Use suitable measuring instruments and tools.
9.During servicing or maintenance wor k, be sure to check the serial No. plate and other cautionary
labels (if any) to see if they are clean and firmly fixed. If not, take appropriate actions.
10. The PC board must be stored in an anti-electrostatic bag and handled carefully using a wristband,
because the ICs on it may be damaged due to static electricity. Before using the wrist band, pull out
the power cord plug of the copier and make sure that there is no uninsulated charged objects in the
vicinity.
11. For the recov ery and disposal of used KK-1600, consumable parts and packing materials, it is recommended that the relev ant local regulations/rules should be follo wed.
12. After completing installation, servicing and maintenance of the KK-1600, return the KK-1600 to its
original state, and check operation.
Paper thickness : Max. 5.5 mm
Staple capacity: 5000 staples
Dimensions: 257 (W) x 423 (D) x 173 (H) mm
Weight: Approx. 3.4 kg
Power supply: 100V - 240V (Supplied from copier)
Upon detecting the loading of paper, the STP operates the motor for staple operation. The AC input
supplied from the copier is converted to a DC voltage (24V) through the AC adapter in the STP and used
as a power supply for the STP.

The STP consists of the AC adapter, STP CONT PWA, sensors, power indicator LED, staple unit, etc.
The staple unit consists of the STP motor, STP Sensor PWA for relaying the sensor signals, mechanical
drive section, etc.
The STP cover open s witch turns OFF when the cover is opened. Since the s witch is connected to the
power supply, the power supply to the STP is cut when the switch turns OFF. For this reason, all the
operation is disabled while the cov er is open. When the STP cov er is closed, the delivery of the power
supply is resumed to light the STP power lamp and enable stapling.
• Staple Empty Detection
Upon detecting a staple empty state, the STP staple empty switch resets the motor drive circuit so that
the motor does not operate ev en if the STP paper set sensor detects the presence of paper . This error
state is reset when staples are supplied causing the STP paper set sensor to detect the presence of
staples.
The staple operation of the STP is performed only by the rotation of the STP motor through the combination of the gears and cams.
The loading of paper is detected when the paper detection lev er is pushed. When paper is loaded into the
stapler, the paper detection lever is pushed causing the STP paper set sensor to detect the presence of
paper.
When the presence of paper is detected, if staples are availab le, the STP motor is operated to drive the
gears and cams to perform staple operation. If no staples are available, the STP does not operate until
staples are supplied. When one time of staple operation is finished, the STP returns to its original state
and stands by until the next presence of paper is detected.
Staples are loaded in the cartridge and its capacity is about 5,000 staples. When the cartridge is supplied with staples or a new cartridge is installed, perform staple operation without staples (7 to 8 times) to
feed staples to a position where stapling is possible.
The STP operates the stapler through the STP controller PWA. When the power of the copier is turned
on, a power supply is also delivered to the STP to enab le stapling. When paper is loaded into the stapler ,
the STP paper set sensor detects the presence of paper (changing from “High” to “Low”), and 200 ms
later the CW signal turns ON (changing from “Low” to “High”) to operate the STP motor forward. When
the motor operates, the gears and cams of the stapler operate for stapling. When the STP home position
sensor detects the home position of the stapler (changing from “High” to “Low”) after the CW signal is
activated, the CW signal turns OFF.
If the STP home position sensor remains at “High” le vel (a f ailure to return to the home position) for some
reason even if a fixed time (approx. 900 ms) has elapsed after the CW signal turns ON, the CW signal
turns OFF and 100 ms later the CCW signal is turned ON (changing from “Lo w” to “High”) to oper ate the
STP motor rev ersely. In practice, how e ver, if the STP has locked up mechanically , an o verload occurs so
that the fuse installed on the STP CONT PWA will blow or the protective circuit of the AC adapter will
function to cut the delivery of the power supply (shutdown).
If the stapler is not at the home position when the power is turned on (“High” le vel), about 60 ms later the
CCW signal is turned ON (changing from “Low” to “High”) to operate the motor reversely allowing the
stapler to return to the home position.
Detects the open/close
state of the cover during
staple replacement, etc.
Detects the loading of the
paper to be stapled.
Detects the home position
of the drive section.
Detects the presence or
absence of staples.

Open: Power off
Low: Paper loaded
Low: Home position
Low: No staples

Microswitch
The STP cover open switch detects the open or close state of the cover. A microswitch is used for the
switch. A power supply is delivered to the stapler when the cover is closed, and cut off when open.
The STP paper set sensor detects the loading of paper. A photo sensor is used f or the s witch. The signal
goes LOW when the paper to be stapled is loaded.
The STP home position sensor detects the home position of the stapler. A photo sensor is used for the
sensor. It is mounted on the STP sensor PWA and detects the home position every stapling.
The STP staple empty switch detects the presence or absence of staples. A microswitch is used for the
sensor. When staples have run out or no cartridge is mounted, the signal is detected at “Low” level.
