General Precautions for Installation/Servicing/Maintenance for the MY-1015
The installation and service should be done by a qualified service technician.
1.When installing the MY-1015 to the Plain Paper Copier , be sure to f ollow the instructions described in
the “Unpacking/Set-Up Procedure for the MY-1015” booklet which comes with each unit of the
MY-1015.
2.The MY-1015 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 MY-1015, 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 reverse of disassemb ly 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. Bef ore 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 MY-1015, consumable parts and packing materials, it is recommended that the relevant local regulations/rules should be f o llow ed.
12. After completing installation, servicing and maintenance of the MY-1015, return the MY-1015 to its
original state, and check operation.

The PFU is an additional paper feed unit (2nd cassette) and installed under the standard cassette (copier).
This unit has no PWA and its transport operation and detection are performed through the PFC PWA.

The PFU consists of the paper feed cassette, four sensors, one magnetic clutch, and one tray-up motor.
When the PFU cover open switch detects the open state of the cover, the copier detects it to stop the
transport of paper.
3.3.2 Paper empty detection
When there is no paper in the cassette tray or the PFU paper empty sensor detects the absence of paper
during printing, the operation is stopped. The absence of paper is detected only when the cassette is
closed.
3.3.3 Paper jam detection
The PFU itself has no feed sensor but installation of the PFU allo ws the sensor (2nd cassette f eed sensor)
on the copier side to be effectiv e . When transporting the paper, if the 2nd cassette f eed sensor does not
detect the passing of paper or the paper is left detected for a fix ed time, the progr am will judge it to be paper
jamming and stop the operation. The error state is reset b y opening and then closing the cover.
3.3.4 Tr a y-up motor failure
If no paper is detected or the tray-up upper limit is not reached even if a specified amount of time has
elapsed after the cassette is mounted, a tray-up motor failure will be assumed. To reset the error state,
once draw out the cassette.
The PFU pickup clutch is used to turn ON and OFF the driving force of the main motor . It turns ON when
picking up the paper and transmits the driving force to the f eed roller and pickup roller through the shaft and
belt. When the pickup clutch is turned ON to transport the paper, the feed roller and pickup roller turn and
the pickup roller begins to pick up the paper . When pic ked up , the paper is transported by the feed roller and
pulled into the transport path on the copier side.
The separate roller prevents the multi-feed of paper and contains a spring clutch. The roller separates
sheets of paper to prevent the feeding of multiple sheets of paper at a time.
The PFU has no motor for transporting paper. Paper is transported by transmitting the driving force of the
main motor of the copier to the gear. The driving force from the copier side is transmitted to the PFU pickup
clutch through the gears (four pcs.). Installing the cassette causes the pickup roller to lower. The PFU
pickup clutch turns ON and OFF the gear driving force from the copier . When picking up the paper , it turns
ON to transmit the driving force to the feed roller and pickup roller through the shaft and belt. When the
pickup roller turns, the paper is picked up from the cassette and brought to the tr ansport path.
The tray-up operation is perf ormed by the PFU tra y-up motor . Consisting of the DC motor , w orm gear, gear,
coupling, etc., the PFU tray-up motor is housed within a case as a unit. When the cassette is installed, the
coupling of this motor unites with the coupling of the cassette to transmit the motor rotation to the arm
under the cassette and lift the cassette tray.

The PFU cover open switch detects the open or close state of the cover. A push switch is used for the
switch. The signal goes LOW when the cover is closed, and HIGH when it is open.
The PFU cassette switch is a s witch which detects the open or close state of the cassette. A push switch
is used for the switch. The signal goes LOW when the cassette is mounted, and HIGH when it is open.
The PFU pickup sensor is a switch which detects the lift-up of the cassette . A photo sensor is used for the
switch. Paper feed is enabled when the signal is at “High” level.
The PFU paper empty sensor detects the presence or absence of paper. A photo sensor is used for the
sensor. There is no paper when the signal is at “High” level.
PFU pickup clutch is an operation signal for the feed clutch and drives the magnetic clutch. Driving f orce
is transmitted to the pickup roller when the signal is at “Low” le vel.
The PFU tray-up motor lifts the tray of the cassette. The combination of the two signals permits setting of
lifting, braking, and OFF.
