General Precautions for Installation/Servicing/Maintenance
for the MR-3018
The installation and service should be done by a qualified service technician.
1) When installing the MR-3018 to the Equipment, be sure to follow the instructions described in the
“Unpacking/Set-Up Procedure for the MR-3018” booklet which comes with each unit of the MR-
3018.
2) The MR-3018 should be installed by an authorized/qualified person.
3) Before starting installation, servicing or maintenance work, be sure to turn OFF and unplug the
equipment first.
4) When servicing or maintaining the MR-3018, 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 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 equipment and make sure that there is no uninsulated charged objects in
the vicinity.
11)For the recovery and disposal of used MR-3018, consumable parts and packing materials, follow the
relevant local regulations/rules should be followed.
12)After completing installation, servicing and maintenance of the MR-3018, return the MR-3018 to its
original state, and check operation.

The following 6 lines are used to transmit/receive signals between the equipment and the RADF.
REQ ......................Communication request signal (from equipment to the RADF)
DF-REQ ................Communication request signal (from the RADF to equipment)
DF-ACK.................Communication request acknowledging signal (from the RADF to equipment)
ACK.......................Communication request acknowledging signal (from equipment to the RADF)
TxD .......................Data transmitted from equipment to the RADF
RxD .......................Data transmitted from the RADF to equipment
Data communication (RxD and TxD) between the scanner and the RADF has adopted the serial communication system which does not allow checking using testing devices to see whether the signals are
transmitted/received properly in the field.
Originals are transported by the original feed motor, read motor and original exit/reverse motor. Each
motor has a drive section for the following operations:
Original feed motor drive section:picks up originals and drives the registration roller.
Read motor drive section: transports originals and drives parts such as the platen roller.
Original exit/reverse motor drive section: exits and reverses originals, and drives the exit/reverse roller.
The Original feed motor rotates reversely when the originals are being transported at the registration
roller, compared to its rotational direction when they are being picked up.
The original exit/reverse motor also rotates reversely when the originals are being reversed and transported, compared to its rotational direction when they are being exited.
The read motor always rotates in a constant direction.
When an original is placed on the original tray and the RADF receives a feed request signal from the
equipment, the feeding of the original is started.
The original empty sensor detects the presence of the original, and then the pickup roller is lowered by
the drive from the original pickup solenoid.
The Original feed motor rotates, and the pickup roller and the feed roller then rotate in a normal direction (shown in a solid line in the figure) to guide the original into the transport path. Then the original is
transported to the registration roller to be aligned.
The original aligned with the registration roller is then transported by the reverse rotation of the Original
feed motor (shown in a dotted line in the figure).
A one-way clutch is installed inside of each gear of the feed roller and the registration roller, so these
gears will not be driven in a reverse rotation.
When the original empty sensor detects that there is no original on the original tray, the original pickup
solenoid is turned OFF and the pickup roller is raised.
The original pickup solenoid is the one can operate both suction and recovery.
The transported original is driven by the read motor.
Then the original is transported to a scanning start position by the intermediate transfer roller, pre-reading roller and platen roller.
The original transported to the scanning start position is then scanned in the scanner function of the
equipment.
When the data of the original have been scanned, the original is then transported to the original exit tray
side by the post-reading roller.
When the data of the original have been scanned, the original is exited to the original exit tray by the
exit/reverse roller driven by the exit motor (shown in a solid line in the figure).
In the duplex scanning mode, the gate solenoid is turned ON and the reverse flapper is lowered to
switch the transport path to the reverse tray side when the scanning of one side of the original is completed.
When the reverse flapper is lowered, the original is temporarily transported to the reverse tray, and then
the exit motor rotates reversely to return the original to the transport path switched for reverse operation
(shown in a dotted line in the figure).
The reversed original is aligned with the reverse registration roller, and then the other side of the original is scanned. When the scanning is completed, the original is exited to the original exit tray.
The original tray width sensor, original length detection sensor, and original width detection sensors-1
and -2 work in combination to detect the size of originals.

3.2.1Outline
When an original is placed on the original tray, the width of the original is detected by the positions of
the original width guides. Then the original width sensors -1 and -2 and the original length detection
sensor detect the size of the original being transported. Based on the detection result of these sensors,
the size of the original is finally determined.
3.2.2Original tray width sensor
The original tray width sensor detects the width of the original placed on the original tray.
This sensor consists of a leaf spring and 4 contacting points (= 4 harnesses). When the original width
guides are moved, a protruded part located under the guides pushes the leaf spring, and the leaf spring
thus contacts the harnesses. The gap between these guides is detected by this contact.
A terminal connected with the black harness is for grounding (= common). When the leaf spring contacts with each harness of gray, yellow and orange, each terminal connected with these harnesses generates a signal at a low level.
The combination of these contact (= low level) and release (= high level) can determine the width of the
original.
Sizes detectable in combination of these contact and release are as follows:
3.2.3Original width detection sensors-1 and -2 / Original length
detection sensor
The size of the original is determined by the detection performed in combination of the original width
detection sensors-1 and -2 and the original length detection sensor, as well as the detection performed
by the original tray width sensor.
Sizes detectable in combination of these sensors are as follows:

3.4.4Drive Circuit for FAN Motor
Fig.3-9
This circuit controls the rotation/stoppage of the fan motor. The FAN starts to rotate when the FAN
motor drive signal level is set to “H”, and stops when the level is set to “L”.
This circuit generates a reset signal when the power is turned ON and the power voltage is blocked or
cut off/lowered temporarily.
At the power-ON, the circuit shifts the level of the reset signal from “L” to “H” to put the CPU in a operative state after the reset pulse duration (Tpd) determined by the capacitance of C58 has passed from
when the power voltage has reached the supervisory voltage (Vs) divided by R116 and R117.
When a power voltage drop (cutoff, temporary cutoff, temporary low voltage) occurs and the power voltage becomes lower than the set value for the supervisory voltage for the power, the circuit sets the level
of the reset signal (RESET
) to “L” to put the CPU in a halt state.
3.4.6Drive Circuit for Pickup Solenoid
Fig.3-11
Pick up solenoid is a two-way solenoid that can be operated both in suction and recovery, and driven by
two transistors (Q4 and Q2) for each operation respectively.
When the PSOL-ON-Signal level is set to “L”, Q4 is turned ON, the power of 24V is applied to the coil
for suction operation, the solenoid is turned ON, and then the pickup roller goes down.
When the PSOL-ON-Signal level is set to “L”, Q2 is turned ON, the power of 24V is applied to the coil
for recovery operation, the solenoid is turned OFF, and then the pickup roller goes up.
Gate solenoid driven by the driver transistor (Q1) is a solenoid which is used to switch an original into
the reverse tray when in the duplex scanning mode.
When the GSOL-ON-Signal level is set to “L”, the reverse flapper goes down and the original is transported to the reverse tray.
