General Precautions for Installation/Servicing/Maintenance for the MR-3011/3012
The installation and service should be done by a qualified service technician.
1. When installing the MR-3011/3012 to the Plain Paper Copier, be sure to follow
the instructions described in the "Unpacking/Set-Up Procedure for the MR-3011/
3012" booklet which comes with each unit of the MR-3011/3012.
2. The MR-3011/3012 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 servicing or maintaining the MR-3011/3012, be careful about the rotating
or operation sections such as gears, pulleys, sprockets, cams, belts, etc.
5. When parts are disassembled, reassembly is basically the reverse 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 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 MR-3011/3012s, consumable parts and
packing materials, it is recommended that the relevant local regulations/rules
should be followed.
12. After completing installation, servicing and maintenance of the MR-3011/3012,
return the MR-3011/3012 to its original state, and check operation.

7.1Method of Original Size Detection (for Standard Sized Originals)
1) Width
When the original waiting at the pre-feeding position has started to be fed and its leading edge reaches the
first small roller of the read roller, its width of the original is detected using the original width sensors 1 and 3
and the size data are saved in EPROM.
2) Size along feeding direction
When the trailing edge of the original (original size: LT of smaller) is detected by the original length sensor
before the read sensor detects the leading edge of the original, or when the original length sensor has
already detected the original (original size: B5-R or larger) when the read sensor detects the leading edge of
the original, the original size along the feeding direction is assumed with the width size data saved in
EPROM, then the size data are sent to the copier. At this time, the date for the size along the feeding
direction are sent first.
With an original whose length is irregularly long, if the size along the feeding direction is not determined by
the scanning operation is started, the read motor counts the of distance pulses after the scanning operation
is started till the trailing edge of the original is detected by original length sensor. Then the motor sends the
measured value to the copier.
Original size: LT or smaller
1) Timing to determine width
2) Timing to determine size along feeding direction
7.3Method of Original Size Detection (for Mixed Sized Original)
1) Width
Width is detected by original width sensors 1,2 and 3 and the size data are saved when an original waiting
at the pre-feeding position has started to be fed and its leading edge reaches the first small roller of the read
roller.
2) Size along the feeding direction
With original whose width is any of 210mm/216mm, if the original length sensor has already detected the
original when the read sensor detects the leading edge of the original, reverse operation is performed to
determine the size along the feeding direction. The read motor counts the pulse of the distance pulses till the
original length sensor detects the trailing edge of the original. Original size is determined by the result of
counting and threshold of size along the feeding direction, then size data are sent to the copier. At this time,
data of the size along the feeding direction are sent first.
The size along the feeding direction of B5-R or smaller originals is determined as with other standard sized
originals. (reverse operation is performed after the size is determined.)
1) Timing to determine the width
2) Timing to determine the size along the feeding direction

This circuit is an input circuit for the original length sensor and consists of a voltage-current conversion circuit
which adjusts the amount of light of the infrared LED and the voltage comparison circuit which compares the
voltage output from a phototransistor (PTR) with a reference voltage and converts the output voltage into digital
signals.
The original length sensor is a mirror reflection sensor, and consists of a pair of emission elements (infrared
LEDs) and a light receiving element (PTR). Both elements have a light axis running in the same direction. There
is a mirror on the extended light axis of these elements. When there is no original between the elements and the
mirror, infrared light emitted from LED is reflected by PTR in high reflectance. If there is an original, light emission to the mirror and reflected light from the mirror are blocked by the original, and the reflected light enter ing
PTR becomes extremely small.
When a large amount of light is entering PTR (this means there is no original) the optical current flowing in the
PTR is increased, and the voltage of IC3-10pin becomes higher due to a drop in voltage caused by R44. IC3 is a
comparator which compares the reference voltage input to 11pin (non-reverse input terminal) with the signal
voltage of 10pin (reverse input ter minal). If the voltage of 10pin is higher, the output level (IC3-10pin) is "L". On
the contrary, when the amount of the incoming light is small (this means there is an original), the voltage of IC310pin is low and the level becomes "H". R16, C6 and C7 are noise filters. This circuit has an automatic sensitivity
adjustment function to control the unevenness of the sensor sensitivity. Uneven sensor sensitivity is corrected by
controlling the machine to have a constant PTR voltage when there is no original. The intensity of the infrared
light emitted from the LEDs is changed to adjust the PTR voltage.
When the sensor sensitivity adjustment mode is selected, the PTR output voltage (analog value) is measured by
the A/D input terminals of the CPU (scanner side). The D/A output voltage of the CPU is changed to keep the
PTR output voltage to a certain level, and the LED current is adjusted by a voltage-current conversion circuit
consisting of IC4, R29, Q5, etc. Each machine has a different D/A output voltage value, which is stored in the
volatile memory.
This circuit controls the irruptive current flowing into the current regeneration condensers (C40 and C112)
mounted on the drive circuits for the read motor and reverse motor to a cer tain value. The circuit consists of a
posister (PTH1) which controls the current and FET (Q14) which supplies the current in normal conditions.
Base current is not supplied to Q8 and it becomes OFF after the RADF open/close switch and jam access cover
switch are turned OFF till the cathode voltage of ZD5 reaches the zener voltage. At this time, both voltages are
set by R111 and C53. Q14 is turned OFF correspondingly to supply the current to PTH1.
When the cathode voltage of ZD5 exceeds the zener voltage after the time allowance given by R111 and C53, a
base current is supplied to Q8 to turn it ON and Q14 comes ON correspondingly. The current limitation is
canceled and the current flowing in the PTH1 starts to be supplied to Q14.
R74, R112, R127 and R128 are discharge resistors to capture charge stored in consisting C40 and C112 right
after either of the RADF open/close switch or jam access cover switch is opened. The circuit consisted of R87,
R114 and Q8 captures the charge stored in C53 right after either the RADF open/close switch or the jam access
cover switch is opened, and also controls irruptive current for instantaneous opening/closing of the cover.
This circuit controls the rotation/stoppage and the direction of rotation, excitation mode and motor current of the
read motor.
A drive clock signal (READM_CLK) and rotation direction signal (CWB) are input to control the speed and
direction of the motor rotation. When the CPU judges the level of the enabling signal is "L", IC10-15pin
(READ_EN) becomes "L" level and turns OFF all the outputs from the drive IC regardless of the state of other
signals.
The output voltage of the D/A converter is separated at R85 and R105, and input into IC10-7pin to set the motor
current value. The motor current value can be changed by altering the D/A output voltage.
This circuit controls the rotation/stoppage, direction of rotation and motor current of the reverse motor.
The following drive pattern signals are input to IC9-6, 7, 21 and 22pins to control the direction and speed of
motor rotation. The motor current value is set by separating the output voltage of the D/A converter at R86 and
R89, and inputting it into IC9-4 and 24pins. Motor current value can be changed by changing the D/A output
voltage.
This circuit controls the rotation/stoppage and the direction of the rotation of the feed motor.
The feed motor has an encoder sensor to feed back signals controlling the number and stoppage of rotations to
the CPU. Control signals from the CPU controls the direction and stoppage of the motor rotation. These control
signals (PREM_A, PREM_B, PREM_C and PREM_D) are changed as shown in the table below.

PREM_PWM is a signal output for speed control, and outputs pulse width modulation waves by comparing the
reference clock in the CPU with the output from the clock sensor of the feed motor.
This circuit is a current control circuit to control the current consumption by the DC+24V power supply, and
consists of a resistor for current detection and a voltage comparator.
Current supplied to the feed motor is converted into voltage at R90 and R91. If the voltage value is higher than
the reference voltage which is the total of R84, R88, R133 and ZD2, the output level of IC8 (comparator) is
judged as "L" and the feed motor is turned OFF. The feed motor is turned ON again when the current consumption is decreased to the reference voltage or becomes lower.

This circuit controls the rotation/stoppage of the fan motor.
When the output level of CPU is "H", Q12 and Q16 are turned ON and drive the fan motor. At this time, a lock
detection signal is output from the fan motor and sent to the CPU. The level of the lock detection signal is "L"
during normal operation and becomes "H" during abnor mal operation.
This circuit controls the closing/opening of the flapper of the reverse solenoid.
When the level of RKNSOL_PWM is "H", Q13 is turned ON and the flapper is closed. The drive signal for the
solenoid is a PWM signal. The flapper is closed in the maximum torque of the solenoid and the duty value
becomes 100% when the flapper is started to be closed. The duty value is then decreased down to 50% and the
flapper is kept closed while the temperature rising of the solenoid is lowered.

This circuit generates a CPU reset signal when the power is turned ON and the power voltage is cut off or
lowered instantaneously. This circuit has a watchdog timer for diagnosis of the CPU system operation.
The level of IC13-8pin (*RES) is normally "H" after the power is turned ON. However, when the power is turned
OFF or the voltage of the +5V power supply is decreased to 4.2V or lower for some reason, the level of IC3-8pin
becomes "L" and the CPU is reset. A clock with a fixed cycle is input to IC13-3pin (CK) from the CPU to clear the
watchdog timer of IC13. If the clock is not input from CPU due to a system error, the level of IC13-8pin becomes
"L" to reset CPU and system operation is stopped.
This circuit is an EEPROM to store ADF data and its peripheral circuit.
IC12 is a memory to store the adjustment value for reflection-type sensors, and data are sent/received between
IC12 and CPU using a 4-line type serial interface. Data saved in the IC12 is not erased even if the power is
turned OFF.
IC12-1pin (CS) is a chip selection terminal and its level is "H" when data are being sent/received.
IC12-2pin (CLK) is a serial clock terminal, and the serial data are sent in synchronization with the clock input
which is input to this terminal.
IC12-3pin (DI) is a input terminal for serial data and 4pin (DO) is an output terminal for serial data.
This circuit is an input circuit for communication with the scanner. The input is "1" for 5V and "0" for 0V. The logic
for the connector area and that for the input port of CPU are the same.
This circuit is an output circuit for communication with the scanner. The output is "1" for 5V and "0" for 0V. The

12.17 Intialization of EEPR OM and Adjustment of Sensors
When any of the PC board, original length sensor, and reverse sensor was replaced with new one, initialization
of the EEPROM and adjustment of the sensors must be performed in the adjustment mode (05). Make sure that
there is no original on the sensors and the RADF unit is closed before performing these initialization and
adjustment. See the adjustment mode (05) in the PPC Service Handbook for the details.
Errors such as paper jamming may occur if the EEPROM is not initialized and the sensors are not adjusted after
the above mentioned parts were replaces.
