General Precautions for Installation/Servicing/Maintenance for the MD-0101
The installation and service should be done by a qualified service technician.
1.When installing the MD-0101 to the Plain Paper Copier , be sure to follo w the instructions described in
the “Unpacking/Set-Up Procedure for the MD-0101” booklet which comes with each unit of the
MD-0101.
2.The MD-0101 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 MD-0101, 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 an y 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 work, 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 recovery and disposal of used MD-0101, consumable par ts and packing materials, it is
recommended that the relevant local regulations/rules should be f ollow ed.
12. After completing installation, servicing and maintenance of the MD-0101, return the MD-0101 to its
original state, and check operation.
The ADU is a unit which turns over printed paper . Installation of the unit enab les duplex printing on paper .
No paper can be stacked in the ADU.

ADU 03-02-01
The ADU has three sensors and two motors as shown above. One-side-printed paper passes through
the ADU unit to be turned over and returned to the copier. The motor drive circuits (IC1, IC2) only are
installed on the ADU PWA.
The motor signals (EXM-A - D , FDM-A - D) are amplified by IC1 and IC2 and drive the motors. The signal
of each sensor passes through the ADU PWA and is connected as it is to the PFC PWA.
When the ADU cover open sensor detects the open state of the cov e r, the detection signal is sent to the
copier to stop the transport of paper.
3.3.2 Paper jam detection
When the one-side-printed paper is loaded into the ADU, the ADU paper jam sensors (upper/lower) turn
ON (at “High” lev el) for a fixed time. If the ADU paper jam sensors (upper/lower) do not turn ON or their
ON time is too long, the program will judge it to be paper jamming and stop the operation. The paper
jamming can be cleared by opening the ADU and removing the paper.
The ADU has one transport path as shown above and paper enters the ADU from the top and comes out
from the bottom. P aper is not stacked in the ADU b ut the ADU only transports the paper by using the two
motors.
Flow of Paper
The flow of paper is as follows:
The one-side-printed paper reversed at the exit unit.
The roller in the exit unit reversely turns to draw the paper into the ADU.
The paper having passed through the ADU is loaded again into the copier from the bottom of the
Printing takes place on the back of the paper and the paper is ejected.

4.2 Drive System
In the ADU, paper is transported by two pulse motors . The ADU motor (upper) drives the upper roller and
the exit roller of the copier as a result of changing (moving) the gear on the copier side , thereb y drawing
in the one-side-printed paper from the copier.
The paper drawn into the ADU is fed into the copier again from the ADU (bottom) by the roller driven by
the ADU motor (lower). The central roller is driven by the ADU motor (lower) through the belt.
The ADU PWA has the motor driving IC only and the other signals pass through the PWA.
IC1 and IC2 are driver IC’ s for the stepping motors and driv e the ADU motors (upper/lower) on the output
side according to the input signals. IC1 drives the ADU motor (lower), and IC2 the ADU motor (upper).
Vref is the input to determine the value of the current which flows through each motor . The input v oltage
there determines the load (current value) to the motor.
ADCNT is a signal which detects connection of the ADU and connected to GND. When its connector is
attached, the signal goes LOW so that the copier can confirm its connection.

The ADU cover open s witch is a s witch which detects the open or close state of the cov er . A push switch
is used for the switch. The signal goes LOW when the cover is closed, and HIGH when it is open.
The ADU paper jam sensor (upper/lower) detects the presence or absence of paper in the transf er path.
Photo sensors are used for the sensors. When paper passes, the sensor arm in the transfer path is
pressed to turn on the sensor.
The ADU motor (lower) and ADU motor (upper) are 2-phase excitation PM type pulse motors (stepping
motors) and operate according to the drive signals from the driver IC’s (IC1, IC2).
