SAFETY WARNINGS
[1] MODIFICATIONS NOT AUTHORIZED BY KONICA MINOLTA
BUSINESS TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
Konica Minolta brand products are renowned for their high reliability. This reliability is
achieved through high-quality design and a solid service network.
Product design is a highly complicated and delicate process where numerous mechanical,
physical, and electrical aspects have to be taken into consideration, with the aim of arriving
at proper tolerances and safety factors. For this reason, unauthorized modifications involve
a high risk of degradation in performance and safety. Such modifications are therefore
strictly prohibited. The points listed below are not exhaustive, but they illustrate the reason-
ing behind this policy.
Prohibited Actions
DANGER
• Using any cables or power cord not specified by KMBT.
• Using any fuse or thermostat not specified by KMBT.

When the direction in which paper is fed is in parallel with the longer side of paper, the
paper feed direction like this is referred to as the longitudinal feed.
And the paper feed direction that is perpendicular to the longitudinal feed is referred to as
the transverse feed.
When specifying the longitudinal feed, "S (abbreviation for Short Edge Feeding)" is added
to the paper size. For the transverse feed, no specific notation is employed.
However, when only the longitudinal feed is specified for one and the same paper size with
no specification made for the transverse feed, "S" is not added even when being fed longi-
tudinally.

6.2 Charging process (Step 1)
/C6501P/C65hc/C5501
bizhub PRO C6501
A negative high DC voltage is applied to the gold-plate tungsten wire of the charging corona which is provided
for each Y, M, C, and K photoconductor drums. Then the wire discharges toward the drum in order to charge
the entire drum surface with the negative electrostatic charge. The charge on the drum is uniformly distributed
on the drum surface with the charging control plate.

6.3 Laser exposure process (Step 2)

The material used for the drum surface has a characteristic that holds electrostatic charges in darkness and dis-
charges under light. This enables creating a electrostatic latent image on the drum with laser beam. The laser
beam draws the image shining on certain points on the drum where the text or image presents according to
color separation data (Y, M, C, K data) created on the image processing section.

6.4 Image development process (Step 3)

/C6501P/C65hc/C5501
bizhub PRO C6501
The non-image points of the electrostatic latent image on the photoconductor drum is charged negatively while
the image points are neutralized. As the toner is negatively charged, it is attracted to the image points on the
drum and as a result, a visible toner image is created on the drum. This operation is referred to as "develop-
ment."

6.5 First transfer process (Step 4)
/C6501P/C65hc/C5501
bizhub PRO C6501
The toner images created on each of the Y, M, C, and K photoconductor drums are transferred to the transfer
belt one by one in the order of Y, M, C, and K. As a result, the 4 toner images are overlaid and a complete toner
image is formed on the belt. This is called as "first transfer."
In order to carry out the first transfer, a positive high DC voltage bias is applied to the first transfer roller provided
on the back surface of the transfer belt. This makes the transfer belt surface have a positive potential higher than
that of the each drum surface so that the toner on the drums are attracted to the transfer belt.

6.6 Second transfer process (Step 5)

/C6501P/C65hc/C5501
bizhub PRO C6501
Transferring the complete toner image formed on the transfer belt to paper is called as "second transfer." For the
second transfer, the second transfer roller/Lw located at the back side of the transfer belt rotates to transport
paper applying a pressure on the belt, while a high negative DC bias is applied to the second transfer roller/Up
inside the belt.
Because of a potential difference between the 2 rollers, the toner image can be transferred to the paper from the
belt.

6.7 Separation process (Step 6)
/C6501P/C65hc/C5501
bizhub PRO C6501
For the second transfer, the paper is negatively charged by the second transfer roller/Up so that the paper
makes intimate contact with the transfer belt. Once the toner is transferred to the paper, the paper must be sep-
arated from the belt. The separating operation is called as "separation."
In order to achieve the separation, a high AC or DC bias is applied to the discharging section to attract the paper
separating it from the transfer belt.

6.8 Drum cleaning (Sub step 1)

/C6501P/C65hc/C5501
bizhub PRO C6501
The toner remains slightly on the drum after the first transfer. The process that cleans the remaining toner off is
called "drum cleaning."
The cleaning is made by the cleaning blade provided for each drum. Its edge made of urethane rubber scrapes
the toner off the drum surface.

[2] Cleaning blade
6.9 Exposure before charging (Sub step 2)

After the drum cleaning, electric potential slightly remains on the drum surface while the toner is completely
removed.
Since charging the drum for the next copying or printing cannot be normally performed with the remaining
potential, the potential on the drum surface is completely neutralized by means of erase lamp (EL). This process
is called "Exposure before charging."

/C6501P/C65hc/C5501
bizhub PRO C6501
Since the second transfer roller/Lw directly contacts with the toner on the transfer belt, the roller is contaminated
with the toner.
To clean the roller, a negative and positive high DC bias is applied to the second transfer roller/Up alternately so
that the toner on the second transfer roller/Lw is attracted to the transfer belt. The toner transferred to the belt
surface is removed by the transfer belt cleaning described in the previous section.

B. Shading correction
• After searching the home position, the exposure unit performs shading correction.
• The white standard board attached to the rear side of the platen glass is used for the shading correction.
• There are 2 types of shading correction: white correction (2 times) and black correction (one time).
• The white correction is performed by reading the white standard board (L1) with the exposure lamp turned on.
• The black correction is performed by reading the brightness with the L1 turned off.
• To acquire the white correction data, the brightness of each pixel is compared between the first time cor-
rection and the second time correction, and the brighter one is used as a white correction data.
• The shading correction reading operation differs between when the sub power switch (SW2) ON and when
the start button ON.

8.2.3 Color registration control

/C6501P/C65hc/C5501
In a black-and-white copier, a toner image formed on its drum can be directly transferred onto paper. In a color
bizhub PRO C6501
copier, the process is much complicated. This machine uses 4 photoconductor drums correspond to yellow,
magenta, cyan, and black colors. In order to create a complete toner image, the 4 separated single-color toner
images formed on the drums must be overlaid on the transfer belt without misalignment. The control to prevent
the misalignment is referred to as "color registration control."
A. Types of the color registration control

There are following 5 color registration controls and the 5 controls are carried out for each color correcting yel-
low (Y), magenta (M), and cyan (C) with reference to black (K).
The color registration control in the "Partial horizontal magnification" is made by adjusting the write units
mechanically. The other 4 color registration controls are performed electrically.
Correction type Correction method

Drift in the main scan- Adjusts the write start timing in the main
ning direction scan direction
Drift in the sub-scanning Adjusts the write start timing in the sub-scan
direction direction
Entire horizontal magni- Adjusts the clock frequency for the wire
fication units
Inclination Adjusts the angle of the CY2 lens 2 (CY2

lens is driven by the laser correction motor)
Partial horizontal magni- Adjusts the position of the write unit (paral-
fication lelism against the drum)
See adjusting the timing for the image
adjustment in service mode.
*1 To show the symptoms plainly, the sample figures in the table indicate the positions of only 2 colors.
*2 The gap between the upper and lower lines in the sample figures for "Drift in the main scanning direction",
"Entire horizontal magnification" and "Partial horizontal magnification" is not a misalignment. Just for show-
ing the symptoms clearly.

B. Overview of the color registration control
/C6501P/C65hc/C5501
In the color registration control, the color registration marks of each color are formed on the transfer belt (outside
bizhub PRO C6501

of the largest paper area). The color registration sensors; /Fr (PS8) and /Rr (PS9) detect the marks to know how
much they are shifted from each other. If the shift amount falls outside the prescribed range, the image write tim-
ing, the clock frequency and the angle of the CY2 lens 2 for the corresponding color are adjusted as necessary.

The color registration mark " " of each black, cyan, magenta, and yellow colors are transferred on the transfer
belt in that order forming 2 marks per line, one each on the left and right sides on the belt. The left and right
positions of the marks on the belt correspond to the positions of the color registration sensors; /Rr (PS9) and /Fr
(PS8).

The recorded time intervals for cyan, magenta, yellow colors are compared with those for black color, and the
differences are determined as color drift amounts. In addition to that, the difference between the PS8 and PS9
time intervals of black color is compared with those of the other colors in order to determine color drift amounts
caused by tilt of write units. According to the obtained drift amounts, the registration control is performed.

D. Operation condition of the color registration control
/C6501P/C65hc/C5501
The color registration control is performed when:
bizhub PRO C6501

• Operation condition 1
The color registration automatic correction is executed in the service mode.
Be sure to perform the above operation when replacing components listed in "9. LIST OF ADJUSTMENT
ITEMS" in Field Service manual.
During warm-up. However, it is not performed if 70 degrees C or higher of fusing temperature is detected
when starting the warm-up.
The prescribed number of pages are copied/printed.
A copy/print job is received after the specified time passed.
Changes in temperature detected by the temperature sensor board (TMSB) fall outside the prescribed
range. The control is performed when a copy/print job is received first time after the status occurs.
NOTE
• In the case of the Operation condition 3, the registration control is performed interrupting the
copy/print job. This can be changed with DIPSW in service mode to carry out the control after fin-
ishing a copy/print job.
• In the case of the Operation condition 4 and 5, the color registration correction control is per-
formed at the beginning of the first copy/print after unity of the operating condition.
8.2.4 Front/back sides skew correction in main scan direction

• If a black image written by the write unit /K is skewed in the main scan direction when performing duplex
printing, black images finally printed on front and back sides of paper will be skewed in opposite way.
• The inclination of the CY2 lens2 of the write unit /K should be adjusted in order to correct the skew.
• The adjustment can be made manually using the following menus.
User's mode: chart adjustment
Service mode: CD skew adjustment
8.2.5 Back side magnification adjustment in sub scan direction

• When the back side mag. adjustment is enabled with the utility, the adjustment is carried out by changing
the number of revolutions of the polygon motor.
• In order to reduce magnification rate in sub scan direction, the number of revolutions of the polygon motor
increases lowering the clock rate.
• The magnification reduction rate can be set manually using the following menus.
User's mode: chart adjustment
Service mode: FD mag. adjustment

9.3 Operation
/C6501P/C65hc/C5501
bizhub PRO C6501
9.3.1 Image creation control
• The image creation process starts when the drum motor /K (M17) turns on [1], though transferring each
color toner image to the transfer belt is made in the order of yellow, magenta, cyan, and black.
• After M17 turns on, the other drum motors are turned on in the order of motor /Y (M14) [2], /M (M15) [3]
and /C (M16) [4].
• The erase lamp, charging corona and developing bias of each color turns on when the corresponding drum
motor starts to rotate.
• The developing motor starts to rotate [5] after the specified time passed from the start of the writing opera-
tion [6].
• The on [6] and off [8] of writing operation corresponds to the on and off of the developing bias (AC) and the
first transfer.
• The developing motor and the toner supply motor stop and the writing operation is finished [11].
• The charging corona is deenergized and the first transfer is finished. [12].
• When the turning corona turns off [15], the DC bias supply, the erase lamp and the drum motor are
stopped. This is the end of Y toner image creating process.
• Creating toner images of the other colors is performed subsequently.
• The first transfer pressure/release motor (M119) and the second transfer pressure/release motor (M34) turn
on while creating the toner images on each drum.
• When the transfer belt is moved to the first transfer position by the M19, the V_TOP signal which triggers
the second transfer is output [7].
• The toner images on each drum are transferred to the transfer belt one by one (first transfer).
• The separation (HV/2) turns on [9] after the specified time passed from when the V_TOP signal is output.
• After the specified time passed from when the separation (HV/2) turns on, the second transfer (HV/2) turns
on [10] to transfer the complete toner image on the belt to paper (second transfer). The bias supply is
stopped [10] and second transfer cleaning is canceled.
• The second transfer operation is terminated after the specified time passed from when supplying the devel-
oping AC bias for black is stopped [13].
• After the specified time passed from when M19 stops applying pressure [14] against the transfer belt, the
bias is applied [16] and second transfer cleaning is performed.

11.3.1 First transfer roller pressure/release mechanism
• During first transfer, the transfer belt [9] is pressed against and released from the drums /Y [8], /M [10], /C
[11] and /K [12].
• The three first transfer rollers /Y [18], /M [17] and /C [14] are included in the color first transfer roller assy [16]
and driven simultaneously.
• The color first transfer roller assy drives the first transfer pressure/release motor (M19) [15] via the first trans-
fer roller /C pressure release cam [7].
• The first transfer roller /K [13] drives the M19 via the first transfer roller /K pressure release arm [4] and the
first transfer roller /K pressure release cam [6].
• The 2 cams rotate synchronously. The difference in shape between the 2 cams enables to move the color
first transfer roller assy between the 3 positions according to the print mode.
• In full color mode, the both color first transfer roller assy and the first transfer roller /K are pressed [3].
• In black-and-white mode, only the first transfer roller /K is pressed.
• The rotating position of the cam is detected by the first transfer HP sensor (PS15).
• The rotation amount of the cam is controlled by the drive force of the M19 that starts to rotate when the
PS15 turns off.

11.3.6 Control of flip prevention for the belt cleaning blade

• As countermeasures against the flip of the belt cleaning blade and the occurrence of white bands on
images, a toner band is periodically created on the transfer belt.
• Creating the toner band can be enabled/disabled with DipSW20-4.
11.3.7 Control against belt filming

• Lubricant contained in the toner adheres to the transfer belt, and can cause white bands on images.
• Therefore, toner is stored between the belt cleaning blade and the toner guide roller to scrape the lubricant
off the belt surface with the toner at regular intervals.

13.3 Operation
/C6501P/C65hc/C5501
bizhub PRO C6501
13.3.1 Toner conveyance control
A. Toner supply control to the toner hopper
• When toner level in the toner hopper becomes about 50g, the bottle motor (M53) and the toner bottle
clutch /Y (MC14), /M (MC15), /C (MC16) and /K (M52) are turned on. Then the toner bottle rotates to supply
new toner.
B. Toner supply control to the developing unit

(1) When the power is turned on
• Each of the TCR sensors /Y (TCRS/Y), /M (TCRS/M), /C (TCRS/C) and /K (TCRS/K) detects the toner den-
sity in each developing unit after the specified time passed from when the sub power switch (SW2) turns
on.
• When the detected density is below the reference toner density that is stored in the CPU on the printer con-
trol board (PRCB), the toner supply motors /Y (M49), /M (M50), /C (M51) and /K (M52) are turned on to
supply toner up to the specified density.
(2) While in printing
• While in the print operation, each of the TCRS /Y, /M, /C and /K monitors the toner density.
• When output voltage of the TCRS /Y, /M, /C and /K is below the reference value, the toner supply motors
are turned on to supply toner up to the specified density.
13.3.2 Remaining toner detection control

A. Remaining toner detection control
• Toner levels in each toner hopper are detected by the piezoelectric sensors /Y (PZS/Y), /M (PZS/M), /C
(PZS/C) and /K (PZS/K).
B. Detection timing
• During printing (always on)
C. No-toner display on the operation panel

• When the value output from the piezoelectric sensor still indicates the "no-toner" status even after the toner
is supplied to the toner hopper, it is judged that the toner bottle has run out of toner and the message
"Please replace toner bottle" is displayed on the touch panel.
13.3.3 Stop control for print operation with no toner

• After the message "Please replace toner bottle" is displayed on the touch panel, the consumption of the
remaining toner (about 50g) in the toner hopper is detected by the driving time of the toner supply motors /
Y (M49), /M (M50), /C (M51) and /K (M52).
• When it is detected that the remaining toner has been consumed, the print operation is stopped by the set-
tings of DIPSW1-2 and 1-3.
• When toner density in the developing unit becomes below the reference value while in the printing stop
operation described above, print operation is immediately stopped after exiting the paper in progress.

15.3.1 Plate up/down control
A. Plate-up operation
• The lift plate [7] lies on the both left and right shaft [6].
• The lift wires [8] are connected to each shaft and the plate is kept in a horizontal position by the drive pulley
[4], one for each of the lift drive shaft [5] via each pulley [9].
• When the each lift drive shaft of the trays are rotated by the paper lift motors /1 (M38) [1], /2 (M39) [2] and /
3 (M40) [3], the each drive pulley winds up the wire and then the lift plate goes up.

B. Plate-down operation
/C6501P/C65hc/C5501
• When each tray is pulled out, the each lift drive shaft is disengaged from the couplings of the lift motors /1
bizhub PRO C6501
(M38), /2 (M39), /3 (M40).

• The disengagement cuts off the drive force from the M38, M39 and M40 to the lift plate, and the plate goes
down by its own weight.
C. Operation timing
• When the tray is set, the paper lift motors /1 (M38), /2 (M39), and /3 (M40) start to rotate and the lift plate
goes up.
• When the upper limit sensors /1 (PS30), /2 (PS36) and /3 (PS42) are turned on by the top sheet, the M38,
M39 and the M40 stop.
• When the PS30, PS36 and PS42 are turned off by paper feeding, the M38, M39 and M40 rotate again, to
lift the lift plate until each upper limit sensor turns on.
15.3.2 Paper size detection control

A. Detection in main scanning direction
• Paper size in main scanning direction is detected by the resistance value of the paper size VR/1 (VR1), /2
(VR2) and /3 (VR3).
• The resistance value of the VR1, VR2, and VR3 varies depending on the position of the guide plate.
B. Detection in sub-scanning direction

• Paper size in sub-scanning direction is detected by on/off status of the paper size sensors /Fr1 (PS33) and
/Rr (PS34), /Fr2 (PS39) and /Rr2 (PS40), and /Fr3 (PS45) and /Rr3 (PS46).

15.3.3 Paper feed control
/C6501P/C65hc/C5501
A. Pick-up control
bizhub PRO C6501

• The paper feed motor (M41) starts to rotate upon receiving a print start signal [1].
• After the specified time passed from when the start signal is received [1], the pick-up solenoids /1 (SD7), /2
(SD8) and /3 (SD9) and the paper feed clutches /1 (MC7), /2 (MC9) and /3 (MC11) are turned on.
• When the SD7, SD8 and SD9 turn on, the pick-up roller descends and presses the paper by its own
weight.
• The pick-up roller rotates to feed the top sheet to the paper feed roller by means of the M41 drive force
transmitted via the MC7, MC9, and MC11.
• The subsequent feeding by the pick-up roller is made when the paper feed sensors /1 (PS29), /2 (PS35),
and /3 (PS41) detect the rear end of the previous paper [3].

B. Separation mechanism
/C6501P/C65hc/C5501
• The separation roller [4] is driven in the opposite direction [2] to the paper feed direction [10] via the torque
bizhub PRO C6501
limiter [1].
• The separation roller is pressed against the paper feed roller [8] by means of the spring [3] force [9] and the
pressure applied from the torque limiter.
• The friction force between the separation roller and the paper feed roller is limited by the torque limiter in
order to prevent multi-feed.
• When no paper exists between the separation roller and the paper feed roller or when the only 1 sheet of
paper is present, the separation roller is driven by the paper feed roller in the direction of arrow [5] since the
torque is over the limit.
• When multiple sheets of paper are fed, the separation roller reverses the direction of rotation [2] (opposite to
the paper feed roller)
• the separation roller the direction of rotation [2] (opposite to the paper feed roller) feeds the lower paper [7]
that contacts with the separation roller back to the tray [6]. The drop in frictional force between the 2 rollers
due to the multiple sheets causes the counter rotating of the separation roller.

C. Loop formation mechanism
/C6501P/C65hc/C5501
• The paper passed between the paper feed roller [5] and the separation roller [3] is conveyed to the pre-reg-

istration roller [7].
• The paper pushes the actuator [1] and the actuator turns on the paper feed sensors /1 (PS29), /2 (PS35)
and /3 (PS41).
• In order to correct skew of the paper, the leading edge of the paper is pressed against the pre-registration
roller that is not moving until the paper forms a small loop [2]. This is made by stopping the paper feed roller
after the specified time passed from when the PS29, PS35, and PS41 turn on.

D. Pre-registration control
/C6501P/C65hc/C5501
• The pre-registration roller is driven by the paper feed motor (M41) via the pre-registration clutch /1 (MC8), /
bizhub PRO C6501
2 (MC10) and /3 (MC12).

• When paper feeding is started with the pick-up roller, the MC8, MC10 and MC12 do not transmit the drive
force from the motor to the pre-registration roller so as not to rotate the roller.
• The fed paper is pressed against the pre-registration roller, and since the roller is stopping, the pressure
causes the paper to form a small loop [2] in order to correct skew of the paper.
• The MC8, MC10, and MC12 start to transmit [3] the drive force to the pre-registration roller to rotate it after
the specified time passed form when the paper feed sensors; /1 (PS29), /2 (PS35), /3 (PS41) turn on.
• The paper feed clutches; /1(MC7), /2 (MC9), and /3 (MC11) continue to transmit the drive force to the paper
feed roller to assist the paper feed until the pre-registration roller grips the paper.
• The pre-registration operation for the second and subsequent papers [5] is performed turning off [6] the
MC8, MC10, and MC12 after the specified time passed from when the PS29, PS35, and PS41 turn on so
that the operation does not interrupt feeding of the previous paper.
• When the intermediate sensor /1 (PS27) turns on upon detection of the front edge of the previous paper,
the MC8, MC10 and MC12 turns on again [7] and restart the pre-registration.

A. Plate-up operation
• The paper lift motor /BP (M35) drives the lift gear to lift the lift plate.
B. Plate-down operation
• The paper lift motor /BP (M35) drives the lift gear to lower the lift plate.
C. Operation timing
(1) Plate-up operation
• When the tray is set, paper lift motor /BP (M35) rotates in forward and the lift plate goes up.
• The lift plate elevation makes the top sheet turns on the upper limit sensor /BP (PS25). This deactivates the
M35 to stop the plate.
• When the PS25 are turned off by paper feeding, the M35 starts to rotate again to lift the lift plate. Then the
PS25 is turned on again by the top sheet the and makes the M35 stop to stop lifting the lift plate.
(2) Plate-down operation

• The paper empty sensor /BP (PS47) turns off when the bypass feed tray runs out of paper. This makes the
M35 rotate in reverse to lower the lift plate.
• The lift plate goes down when the paper is removed from the tray.
• When the paper supply door of LU is opened, the lift plate goes down.
• The M35 stops reverse rotation after the specified time passed to stop lowering the lift plate.

A. Detection in main scanning direction
• Paper size in main scanning direction is detected by the resistance value of the paper size VR/BP (VR4).
• The resistance value of the VR4 varies depending on the position of the guide plate.
B. Detection in sub-scanning direction

• Paper size in sub-scanning direction is detected by ON/OFF statuses of the paper size sensors /BP1
(PS48) and /BP2 (PS49).

• The time period from when the registration motor (M30) starts to rotate until the leading edge sensor (PS63)
detects the leading edge of paper is counted.
• Based on the counted time, the time when the paper gets to the second transfer section is estimated.
• If the estimated arrival time is earlier/later than the proper arrival time, the deceleration timing of the registra-
tion roller and the loop roller line speed is adjusted to meet the arrival timing.
• The timing correction control is carried out for every sheet of paper.
18.3.4 Registration speed correction control

• When restarting registration, the registration roller and loop roller conveyance speed are adjusted according
to the ambient temperature detected by the registration temperature sensor (TEMS1).
• The TEMS1 measures the temperature at regular intervals.
• The speed of the registration speed correction control is the same as normal line speed when TEMS1

stops after the specified time passed.
• While the paper is stopped with its leading edge nipped by the ADU loop roller, the ADU reverse roller [4]
continues to rotate.
• The ADU reverse roller stops after the rear end of the paper passed through. (after the specified time
passed from when the ADU loop roller stops.)
• The above 2 rollers’ operation make the paper form a loop [1] between the 2 rollers.
• When the paper is forming the loop, its rear edge is pressed against the ADU reverse roller. This enables to
correct skew of the paper before starting the reverse paper conveyance.

• After the specified time passed from when the ADU reverse roller stops, the ADU loop roller [8] and ADU
reverse roller rotate reversely at the same time.
• Paper is conveyed in the reverse direction keeping the loop [3], and because the ADU gate is closed, it is
conveyed to the ADU conveyance roller /1 [5].
• By means of the above operations, the paper is turned upside down.
• Then the paper is conveyed to the ADU conveyance roller /2 [7], /3 [3], ADU pre-registration roller [1] and
loop roller [9] for back side printing.

19.3.2 ADU conveyance control
/C6501P/C65hc/C5501
• When the front side of the first sheet is fixed [2], after receiving a print start signal [1], the ADU loop motor
bizhub PRO C6501

(M57) and the ADU reverse motor (M32) start to rotate in the normal direction.
• When the ADU stop sensor (PS20) detects the rear end [3] of the first sheet while the paper is conveyed to
the reverse paper exit section, the M57 stops to stop the ADU loop roller.
• The M32 stops after the M57stops. This makes the paper form a loop [4] between the ADU loop roller and
the ADU reverse roller.
• After the specified time passed from when the PS20 turns off [3], the ADU gate solenoid (SD10) turns on [5]
and closes the ADU gate. At the same time, the M57 and M32 start to rotate in reverse direction to convey
the paper reversely.
• When the ADU conveyance sensor (PS61) provided on the ADU conveyance section detects the rear end
of the paper [6], the rotation direction of the M57 and M32 is switched to normal. The SD10 turns off and
opens the ADU gate again for the next paper.

20.3.2 Reverse/paper exit timing control

/C6501P/C65hc/C5501
• In face down paper exit, paper conveyed from the fusing section to the reverse decurler roller passing under
bizhub PRO C6501
the reverse gate.

• The reverse decurler roller conveys the paper to the small size roller by the normal rotation of the decurler
motor (M55).
• The small size roller and the reverse roller /Lw convey the paper to the ADU reverse section by the reverse
paper exit motor (M33).
• When the decurler sensor (PS62) detects the rear end of paper and turns off [2], the M55 and M33 switch
to reverse rotation.
• The rollers rotate in reverse and convey the paper in reverse direction, but due to the guide on the convey-
ance path, the paper is conveyed to the paper exit roller, not to the reverse gate side.
• By means of the above operations, paper is exited with its upside down.
• When the paper exit sensor (PS13) detects the rear end of the paper and turns off [3], the M55 and M33
starts the normal rotation again and the next paper is reversed/exited.

20.3.3 Paper exit decurler roller pressure control
/C6501P/C65hc/C5501
A. Paper exit decurler roller pressure mechanism
bizhub PRO C6501

• The paper exit decurler roller [1] that faces to the paper exit roller is pressed by the rotation of the cam [2].
• The cam is driven by the paper exit motor (M54).
• Forward rotation of the M54 causes paper exit operation, and its reverse rotation moves the cam to apply
pressure to the paper exit decurler roller.
• The cam and the encoder [3] are located on the same shaft. Paper exit pressure sensor (PS10) [4] detects
the slits on the encoder in order to determine the home position of the decurler roller.
• The pressure applied to the paper exit decurler roller is changed by the cam position in 4 levels; release [8],
low pressure [7], middle pressure [6], and high pressure [5]. The pressure level is controlled according to the
time period of the M54 rotation from when the PS10 turns off.

20.3.4 Reverse decurler roller rotation control

/C6501P/C65hc/C5501
A. Purpose
bizhub PRO C6501
• To prevent the reverse decurler roller from deformation when the roller has not been used for certain period
of time.
• To minimize unevenness in temperature on the decurler roller surface, which can cause unevenness in color
of printed images, after a continuous printing is carried out.
B. Operation timing
• The decurler motor (M55) operates under the following conditions to rotate the reverse decurler motor.
Device status Remaining paper Rotation speed Rotational direction

Standby Executing image stabilization 1/1 speed (high) Reverse
operation
After finishing printing 5 minutes 1/1 speed (high) Reverse
NOTE
• When a new print job is received, the after-printing operation is canceled to accept the job.
• The after-printing operation can be enabled/disabled with software DipSW.
• This control is not carried out by default.
20.3.5 Paper exit full detection control

• When the OT-502 (option) is installed in the paper exit section, paper exit full detection control is performed.
• The OT-502 paper exit full sensor (PS12) is kept on while the OT-502 tray is used. If the prescribed number
of sheets are exit, or if the "on" status of the sensor is kept for a certain time period, it is detected as a full
status of the OT-502 tray and a message notifying the status appears on the touch panel.

B. Fusing process speed correction control

/C6501P/C65hc/C5501
• This control is carried out to avoid improper slack in paper when the paper comes to the fusing section
bizhub PRO C6501
from the second transfer section.

• If the fusing process speed differs from the process speed of the second transfer section (difference in
speed between the fusing roller /Lw [8] and the second transfer roller /Lw [4]) when the leading edge of the
paper is nipped [1] by the fusing roller /Lw, the paper loop amount becomes increase.
• The fusing loop sensor (PS64) [5], located between the second transfer roller /Lw and the fusing roller /Lw,
detects the paper loop.
• When the paper loop is detected by the PS64, the fusing process speed is corrected so that it becomes
faster than the preset speed.
• The fusing process speed correction control is applied to all the 1/1 speed, 2/3 speed and 1/2 speed.

21.3.2 Pressure/release control
/C6501P/C65hc/C5501
• The fusing roller /Lw is pressed against the fusing belt during performing a print job.
bizhub PRO C6501

• When the fusing paper exit sensor (PS17) detects paper (the last page of the job) after completion of fusing,
the fusing roller /Lw moves to stop pressing the fusing belt.
• The fusing roller drive assy which includes the fusing roller /Lw moves up/down to press/release the fusing
belt with the roller.
• The up/down movements of the fusing roller drive assy are made by the cam which is driven by the fusing
motor (M29).
• The home position of the cam is determined by the fusing release home sensor (PS16). The sensor detects
the cam position with the actuator attached to the cam shaft.
• A one-way clutch is provided on the M29 drive transmission path toward the drive gear so that the M29
drive force is transmitted only to the cam when the M29 is rotating in reverse direction.

21.3.4 Protection against abnormality
/C6501P/C65hc/C5501
• When the temperature sensor /1 (TEMS/1), /2 (TEMS/2), /3(TEMS/3), /4 (TEMS/4) is over the prescribed
bizhub PRO C6501

temperature for a specified time period, it is judged as a high temperature error and the main relay (RY1) is
turned off, then the product is stopped after the first transfer, second transfer and fusing pressure are
stopped/released.
• When the temperature sensor /1 (TEMS/1), /2 (TEMS/2), /3 (TEMS3), /4 (TEMS/4) detect a temperature
of under -50 °C continuously for a specified time period, it is judged as a low temperature error and the
main relay (RY1) is turned off, then the product is stopped after the first transfer, second transfer and fix-
ing pressure are stopped/released.
• The thermostat /1 (TS1), /2 (TS2) shut down the power line to the fusing heater lamp /1 (L2), /2 (L3), /3 (L4)
at 190 ± 7 °C.
• The thermostat /3 (TS3) shuts down the power line to the fusing heater lamp /4 (L5) at 160 ± 7 °C.
• When the fusing temperature abnormality occurs, the relay-off status is maintained by latch (SC latch) and
an error message appears on the touch panel.
• After troubleshooting the cause of the error, the SC latch must be released by the software DipSW3-1.

Theory of Operation Ver.2.0 Mar. 2009 23. IMAGE STABILIZATION CONTROL
A. Drum rotation control
/C6501P/C65hc/C5501
(1) Purpose
bizhub PRO C6501

• To prevent uneven electrostatic charges on the drum, which causes improper images under high humidity
conditions.
• To prevent unevenness in density caused by the difference in sensitivity between the part that the cleaner or
the developer is applied to and other parts when leaving them in low/normal humidity conditions.
(2) Operation
• Rotates the drum for approx. 4 min and 30 sec during warm-up if the fusing temperature is 50 degrees C or
less when the sub power switch (SW2) is turned ON .
• Performs the following operations based on the environmental decision if the fusing temperature is more
than 50 degrees C when the SW2 is turned ON.
If the product is not ready to print 1 minute after turning the SW2 on under high humidity conditions, the
drum is rotated for 4 min and 30 sec. On the other hand, if the fusing warm-up is completed within 1 minute
after turning the SW2 on, the drum is not rotated. Under low/normal humidity conditions, the drum is
rotated slightly at constant intervals based on the humidity and the period of time that the product is left to
stand.
B. Environmental decision control
(1) Purpose
• To achieve high print quality, the temperature/humidity sensor detects the environmental temperature and
humidity and feed back the findings to the various types of controls to maintain the image at a fixed quality.
(2) Execution timing

• The ambient status is judged using the measurement result of the sensor under the following conditions.
More than 8 hours have passed since turning the sub power switch (SW2) off previous time when turning
the SW2 on, and that the fusing temperature is 50 degrees C or below.
115

/C6501P/C65hc/C5501
(1) Purpose
bizhub PRO C6501
• Performed in order to correct the misalignment in main or sub scanning direction, entire horizontal magnifi-
cation, and skew.
(2) Operation
• The color registration sensors /Fr and /Rr reads a patch image created on the transfer belt.
• The correction is carried out by calculating the amount of the misalignment from the read value.

• When adjusting in service mode.
• When the sub power switch (SW2) is turned on with the fusing temperature is 50 °C or less.
• Every 1,000 prints.
• When printing is not performed for a predetermined period of time.When the temperature in the write sec-
tion has changed 10 °C.
• When printing is not performed for 1 hour after the correction is finished.
D. PGC sensor baseline correction control 1, 2

(1) Purpose
• This correction is necessary to be executed in advance to carry out the maximum density control and the
gamma correction control.
(2) Operation
• To carry out the maximum density control, reference values for the PGC sensor (PS11) are determined by
measuring the density of the transfer drum surface when no toner is attached on the belt.

• When printing has not been performed for 6 hours or longer.
• When a change in humidity exceeds 20% from the last time the control is performed.
• When turning on the sub power switch (SW2) after replacing the materials.
116

pages.
(2) Operation
• The maximum density correction method differs in each color of Y, M, C, and K.
• The correction of Y, M, and C.
The target value of each toner adhesion stored in the NVRAM board (NRB) is used for the correction.
A patch image is created on the transfer belt using the maximum exposure level, to be read by the PGC
sensor (PS11).
According to the detected density, a target range of developing bias is calculated and determined for devel-
opment.
• The correction of K.
A gradation patch image is created on the transfer belt using the intermediate exposure level, to be read by
the PS11.
According to the detected density, a target range of developing bias is calculated and determined for devel-
opment.
• Every 1,000 prints
F. V0 adjustment
(1) Purpose
• To charge the drums appropriately compensating for deterioration of related parts, and the effects of ambi-
ent conditions.
(2) Operation
• A voltage applied to the grid is adjusted so that a target electric potential is obtained. The target potential is
determined according to the developing bias calculated at the maximum density correction control.
• The electric potential on the drums are detected by the drum potential sensors; /Y (DPRS/Y), /M (DPRS/M),
/C (DPRS/C), and /K (DPRS/K).

• When a change in humidity exceeds 20% from the last time the adjustment is performed.
117
G. Vm adjustment
/C6501P/C65hc/C5501
(1) Purpose
bizhub PRO C6501
• To achieve stabilized intermediate exposure potential regardless of a drop in sensitivity of photosensitive

materials or the stain of the writing system.
(2) Operation
• While the drums are irradiated with a PWM128 intensity laser beam, the electric potential on the drums are
detected by the drum potential sensor /Y (DPRS/Y), /M (DPRS/M), /C (DPRS/C), and /K (DPRS/K). Accord-
ing to the detected results, the laser MPC value is corrected.

• When a change in humidity exceeds 20% from the last time the adjustment is performed.

A. Toner refresh mode control

a03ut2c113ca
A. Toner refresh mode control

(1) Purpose
• Printing low coverage images makes the developer (toner) become deteriorated due to agitation with little
consumption of developer, and as the result, print quality becomes degraded. To prevent this, the
deteriorated toner in the developer is ejected and replaced with new toner.
(2) Operation
a. Manual toner refresh mode
• Develops the amount of toner that equals the consumption for printing 8 papers (A3 size) for each color to
eject the deteriorated toner.
b. Automatic toner refresh mode

• Checks the average of print coverage for each color with each specific drive distance of the developing
roller /K and consumes a certain amount of toner for the color that the density is lower than 5% converted
in A4 size after completion of printing.

B. Operation
• The dehumidifier heater switch (SW3) supplies AC power to the sub relay (RY/2) inside the AC drive board
(ACDB).
• When the main power switch (SW1) is OFF, the RY /2 can transmit the AC power to the dehumidifier heater
(HTR) and the dehumidifier heater /1 (HTR1), dehumidifier heater /2 (HTR2) (PF only) inside the LU (option).
• Then, if SW3 is turned ON when SW1 is turned off, AC power can be supplied to HTR or HTR1/HTR2.
• When the SW1 and the sub power switch (SW2) are turned on, 24VDC is supplied to the ACDB and the
RY/2 is disconnected. Since the AC power line to the HTR and the HTR1/HTR2 is shut off with the RY /2,
the power is not supplied to the heaters even when the SW3 is turned on.

25.5.1 Switching from the color mode to the black-and-white mode
A. OUTLINE
• If more than 5 black-and-white sheets are fed consecutively from the DF in which both the color sheets and
the black-and-white sheets are stored, the pressure on the first transfer rollers /Y/M/C are released and it
shifts to the black-and-white mode.
• At this time, the switch is performed during the job, so there is a time lag between the color print and the
black-and-white print.
B. Switching sequence from the color mode to the black-and-white mode

1. The second transfer for the previous print sheet (color) is complete.
2. A pressure is applied only to the first transfer roller /K (the first transfer rollers /Y/M/C are in release state).
3. Writing/K is started.
4. The operation of the drum unit /Y/M/C, the developing unit /Y/M/C, and the toner supply unit /Y/M/C are
canceled.
C. Switching sequence from the black-and-white mode to the color mode
1. A color print job is detected.
2. The second transfer for the previous print sheet (black-and-white) is complete.
3. The operation of the drum unit /Y/M/C, the developing unit /Y/M/C, and the toner supply unit /Y/M/C are
started.
4. MPC or APC is executed for the write unit /Y/M/C.
5. A pressure is applied to the first transfer roller /Y/M/C/K.
6. Writing /Y is started.
25.5.2 Count when using ACS

Since the accuracy of the CCD unit is guaranteed as a unit, no accuracy is guaranteed if it is disassembled.
Therefore, screws that lead to the disassembly of the CCD unit must not be removed.
The lens reference plate assy is a reference for the positioning the CCD unit. If the lens reference plate assy is
removed, the optical axis of the CCD unit may become misaligned. Therefore, the attaching screws of the lens

27.3.18 Replaceing the lock lever/1, /2
/C6501P/C65hc/C5501
bizhub PRO C6501
Note
• Do not pull out the process unit and the ADU at a time or the main body may topple over. In order
to prevent rollover accidents, the lock lever/1 and /2 do not allow the process unit and the ADU to
be pulled out at the same time.
If you cannot pull out the process unit or the ADU, the lock lever/1 and /2 may be deformed as a
result of some operational error. Check the lock lever/1 and /2 for deformation and replace them
as necessary.
• Since the lock lever/1 and /2 are not the regular maintenance parts, they were located without
considering the convenience of replacement. You must remove the levers without directly viewing
them. Therefore, when replacing the lock lever/1 and /2, refer to the pictures for each steps to fig-
ure out their locations and how they are installed beforehand.

4.3 Operation
DF-609
• The pick-up roller [7], paper feed roller [6], and registration roller [3] are driven by the paper feed motor
(M301).
• M301 drives in both directions, forward and reverse. When it drives in forward, the pick-up roller and the
paper feed roller rotate to transfer papers, while the registration roller does not rotate.
• When M301 drives in reverse, only the registration roller rotates to feed papers while the pick-up roller goes
up to the shelter, and one-way clutch keeps the paper feed roller from rotating.
• The separation roller, which is not driven by the motor, is provided with a torque limiter. When a piece of
paper is transferred, the separation roller moves in synchronization with the paper feed roller. On the other
hand, when two or more papers are fed, the separation roller remains stationary and separates the papers.
• The registration clutch (MC301) functions as the brake to stop the registration roller, not to turn ON or OFF
the drive force transmission.
• The registration sensor (PS301) [4] and the timing sensor (PS302) [2] detect the timing of the original.

A. Single-sided mode
1. The paper feed motor (M301) switches to high speed [1] and the pick-up roller is pressed against the origi-
nals set to the original feed tray.
DF-609
2. The pick-up roller conveys the originals to the paper feed roller and the separation roller.
3. The paper feed roller conveys a piece of original at the top, and the separation roller keeps the rest of the
originals from being transferred.
4. The original is conveyed until it hits the registration roller, and the original forms a loop to correct skew [2].
5. M301 pauses after the specified time, and the registration clutch (MC301) turns OFF to release the registra-
tion roller [3].
6. After the specified time, M301 rotates in reverse at low speed and the registration roller nips the original [4].
7. After the specified time has elapsed from when the timing sensor (PS302) has turned ON, M301 is turned off
once [5] and starts rotating again in reverse at high speed [6] at the same time as the conveyance motor
(M302) is turned on. Then the original is conveyed to the conveyance belt of the conveyance section.
8. After the specified time has elapsed from when PS302 has turned ON, M301 turns off [7].
9. The rest of the originals are conveyed in the same manner.

4.3.2 Original size detection

• Original size detection signal is detected by scanning in the main direction and sub direction.
• The original size detection method differs between normal copy mode and mixed original copy mode.
DF-609
A. Normal copy mode

• Main scan direction is detected by the resistance value of the size VR (VR301) interlocked with the guide
plate position on the paper feed tray
• Sub-scanning direction is detected by the combination of the size sensor/S (PS309) and size sensor/L
(PS310) when they are turned on and off.
B. Mixed original copy mode

• Maximum original size in main scan direction is detected by the resistance value of the size VR (VR301)
interlocked with the guide plate position on the paper feed tray.
• Sub scan direction is detected by the time when the original passes by the timing sensor (PS302).
• Allowed size combinations are as shown in the table below.

5.3 Operation
5.3.1 Scanning and conveyance control
DF-609
• The conveyance belt is driven by the conveyance motor (M302).

• In single-sided mode, a swing-back to position the original for scanning is performed after the original is
conveyed from the paper feed section to the conveyance belt.
• In double-sided mode, the original returned from the reverse/paper feed section is conveyed at low speed,
and is positioned for scanning.
• Thin paper mode is provided in the original size setting as the positioning control method differs between
thin paper and the other papers (plain and thick).
A. Single-sided mode
(1) Swing-back
1. The original is conveyed from the paper feed section [2].
2. The original is conveyed [3] to the point that the rear end of the original comes over the positioning plate [1].
3. The conveyance motor (M302) rotates in reverse at low speed and returns the original [4], and the original is
stuck against the positioning plate [5].

(2) Control
1. After the registration roller nips the original [1], the original is conveyed [2] from the paper feed section.
2. After the specified time has elapsed from when the timing sensor (PS302) has turned off (Rear end detec-
DF-609
tion), M302 is turned off and the original is conveyed to the point that the rear end of the original comes over
the positioning plate, and then the conveyance stops [3].
3. After the specified time, M302 rotates in reverse at low speed and returns the original [4], and the original is
stuck against the positioning plate (Swing-back).
4. The scanning is performed in the main body [5].
5. After scanning the second sheet (small size paper) or the first sheet (large size paper), the reverse/paper exit
motor (M303) is turned on at the same time as M302. Then the scanned original is conveyed to the reverse/
paper exit section [6] while the next original is conveyed to the conveyance section.
6. When the scanning of the last page is completed and after the specified time has elapsed from when the
reverse sensor (PS305) is turned on, M302 is turned off [7].

(1) Operation
• The paper path of the reverse paper exit section is created by the paper exit gate [1] and the reverse gate
DF-609
[8]. Both gates are set by turning off the paper exit solenoid (SD301) and turning on the reverse solenoid
(SD302).
1. The front side scan is performed in the same operating method as in the single-sided mode.
2. The original is conveyed to the reverse/paper exit section [5] to perform back side scan by driving the
reverse/paper exit motor (M303) and the conveyance motor (M302). At this time, the leading edge of the
original (Back side) that is conveyed in reverse [7] overlaps with the rear end of the original (Front side) [4] on
the right side of the conveyance belt [6] near the reverse/paper exit section.

the paper exit solenoid (SD301) OFF and the original is fed around the reverse roller [3].
2. When the reverse solenoid (SD302) is turned on [4], the reverse gate sets the conveyance direction toward
the conveyance belt. Then the original starts returning [5] to the conveyance section while sliding under the
conveyance belt.
3. After the specified time from when the reverse sensor (PS305) has turned ON, M302 and M303 stop rotating
once at the same moment. Then M302 switches to rotate in reverse [6] while M303 rotates forward [7] and
the original is returned further toward the scanning position.
4. After the specified time from PS305 has turned OFF, M303 [8] turns off. However, the belt keeps conveying

4.3 Operation
PF-602/HT-504
A. Plate-up mechanism
• The paper lift motors/1 (M2) and /2 (M3) drive the pulley to wind up the lift wires in order to lift the paper lift
plate.
B. Plate-down mechanism
• The paper lift plate [1] goes down by the down button [2].
• Loading papers on the paper lift plate presses the plate-down button [2] on the side of the tray, and release
lever [4] releases the coupling in the torque limiter [5]. The pulley drive shaft [6] keeps rotating while the
plate-down button is pressed.
• When the paper lift plate [1] is at its uppermost position, the tray-down stopper [7] is on the rear side [8] of
the tray, and the gear [9] prevents the paper lift plate from going down.

A. Main scan/Sub scan direction detection
PF-602/HT-504
• The detection methods differ between main scanning direction and sub-scanning direction.
(1) Main scan direction

• The size in the main scan direction is detected by the paper size VR/1 (VR1) and /2 (VR3) that move
together with the paper guide. The detected size is sent to the main body within a fixed time period after the
tray is set.
(2) Sub scan direction

• The size detection in the sub scan direction is made by the following each pair of the sensors: the paper
size sensors/Rt1 (PS5) [3] and /Lt1 (PS6) [4] for tray /4, /Rt2 (PS13) [3] and /Lt2 (PS14) [4] for tray /5.
• When the paper rear guide [6] is moved, the detection cams /Up [1] and /Lw [2] that are different in shape
are pressed by the knob [5]. Depends on the position of the paper rear guide, the paper size sensors/Rt1
[4], /Rt2 [4] and /Lt1 [3], /Lt2 [3] are turned on and off.

4.3.4 Separation mechanism

• Papers are separated by the separation roller [5].
PF-602/HT-504
• The separation roller [5] rotates in the direction [10] opposite to the paper conveyance direction [9] by
means of the torque limiter [8]. The roller is pressed against the paper feed roller by force exerted by the
spring [7] and the torque limiter.
• When no paper exists between the separation roller and the paper feed roller or when the only one sheet of
• When multiple sheets of paper are fed, the separation roller reverses the direction of rotation [10] (opposite
to the paper feed roller) and feeds the lower paper [2] that contacts with the separation roller back to the
tray [3]. The drop in frictional force between the two rollers due to the multiple sheets causes the counter
rotating of the separation roller.

• Paper empty detection on the tray is made according to on/off statuses of the upper limit sensors/1 (PS1)
PF-602/HT-504
and /2 (PS9) [6], and the paper empty sensors/1 (PS3) and /2 (PS11) [1].
• When the paper lift plate [4] goes up while paper is on the tray, the paper pushes up the actuator [2] and
then the PS3 and PS11 [1] are turned off.When the paper lift plate further goes up, the pick-up roller section
[5] is pushed up to turn off the PS1 and PS9 [6].
• When there is no paper, the actuator is inserted in the hole [3] in the paper lift plate and is not lifted up. On
the other hand, the pick-up roller section[5] is lifted up to turn off the PS1/ PS9 [6]. If PS1/PS9 turn off when
the paper lift plate is being lifted, the product detects that paper is empty and shows the message on the
touch panel.
• While feeding paper, the PS3 and PS11 are switched from OFF to ON while the PS1 and the PS9 is OFF,
and paper empty is detected.

4.3.8 Tray lock control

• Each of the tray is locked by the tray locked lever.
• When the tray lock release sensors /1 (PS4) and /2 (PS12) of the either trays /4 or /5 are turned off, the tray
lock solenoids /1 (SD4) and /2 (SD8) of the corresponding tray are turned on. This causes the tray lock lever
to go up and the tray is unlocked.
• In order to avoid pulling multiple trays out at a time, the SD4 and SD8 solenoids other than those which has
already been turned on do not become on even when an off-status of another lock release sensor is
detected while PS4 or PS12 sensor is off.
• When a jammed paper is lying over the tray and the exit conveyance section, the tray remains locked until
the jammed paper is removed. This prevents the paper from being torn off.

5.3 Operation
PF-602/HT-504
5.3.1 Pre-registration control
• In order to correct skew of paper, paper fed from the tray strikes against the pre-registration roller that is
stopping at that time.
• The pre-registration clutch (MC12) is turned on, the driving force of the paper feed motor (M1) is transmitted
to the pre-registration roller to feed paper inside the main body.
21

• For the vertical conveyance, the driving force of the paper feed motor (M1) [1] is transmitted by turning on
PF-602/HT-504
and off the vertical conveyance clutches /1 (MC7) [4], /2 (MC8) [7], and /3 (MC9) [8].
• For the horizontal conveyance, the driving force of paper feed motor (M1) is transmitted by turning on and
off the horizontal conveyance clutches /1 (MC10) [10], /2 (MC11) [14], and the pre-registration clutch
(MC12) [12].
• Paper fed from tray/4 is conveyed to the vertical conveyance rollers /1 [5], /2 [6], and /3 [9] driven through
MC7, MC8, and MC9, and then conveyed to the horizontal conveyance section.
• Paper fed from tray/4 vertically or fed from tray/5 is conveyed to the pre-registration roller [13] by the hori-
zontal conveyance roller/1 [11] driven via the MC10. Then, the pre-registration control described above is
performed and the paper is fed inside the main body.
• When the vertical conveyance sensors /2 (PS27) [3] and /3 (PS26) [2] detect the paper trailing edge, the
sensors read it twice within the specified time. The paper trailing edge once passed through the sensors
may return to the sensor detection position due to slack in the paper, and detected by the sensors again
unexpectedly. To prevent the mis-detection, the sensors carry out the detection operation twice every time.

5.3.3 Multi feed detection control

• The multi feed sensor is provided in the horizontal conveyance section to detect multi feed.
PF-602/HT-504
• The multi feed sensor is a ultrasonic sensor consisted of a sending and receiving section. The ultrasonic
waves sent from the multi feed detection board/S (MFDTB/S) are received at the multi feed detection
board/R (MFDTB/R).
• The intensity of the ultrasonic waves received by the receiving section differs according to the number of
sheets passed between the MFDTB/S and MFDTB/R. Therefore, the sensor can detect multi feed by the
intensity.
• When multi feed is detected, the paper feeding operation will stop, however, the next sheet of paper is fed
as usual.
• The multi feed detection function can be enabled/disabled using DipSW19-4.
5.3.4 Centering detection control

• While paper being fed, centering sensor (PS25) detects the paper edges in the main scan direction.
• The detected information is written in the image processing section so that a scanned image is precisely
located and printed on the paper as intended.
• In order to increase the life of the PS25, the sensor is not always "On"; it turns off after sending the detected
information to the main body and turns on when it detects the paper reached to the pre-registration sensor.

4.3 Operation
LU-202/HT-503

A. Pick-up control
(1) Outline
• Paper is picked up when the pick-up solenoid (SD100) is turned off.
• The pick-up roller rotates with the paper feed roller.
(2) Operation
1. At the time printing is started [1], SD100 is off and the pick-up roller presses against loaded paper with its
own weight.
2. Then the paper feed clutch (MC101) turns on [2] to transmit drive force of the paper feed motor (M1) to the
pick-up roller, and the pick-up roller starts to rotate and picks up a sheet of paper to be fed by the paper
feed roller.
3. When the Pre-registrations sensor (PS106) located just before the pre-registration roller detects the leading
edge of the paper [3], SD100 turns on to make the pick-up roller separate from the paper, and the paper is
fed only by the paper feed roller.
4. When the LU exit sensor (PS107) turns on [4], MC101 is turned off to stop the paper feed roller and the pick-
up roller.
5. When a predetermined time period has elapsed after PS107 detects the first paper and turns off, SD100
turns off to bring the pick-up roller into contact with the loaded paper, and at the same time, MC101
becomes on to make the pick-up roller rotate and pick up the second sheet of paper [5].

• The separation roller [5] rotates in the direction [10] opposite to the paper conveyance direction [9] by
LU-202/HT-503
means of the torque limiter [8].
• The separation roller is pressed against the paper feed roller [1] by the force [6] exerted by the spring [7] and
the torque generated by the torque limiter. The friction force between the separation roller and the paper
feed roller is limited by the torque limiter in order to prevent multi-feed.
• When no paper exist between the separation roller and the paper feed roller, and when the only 1 sheet of
paper is present, the separation roller is driven by the paper feed roller in the direction of the arrow [4] since
the torque is over the limit.
• When multiple sheets of paper are fed, the friction force between the 2 rollers drops causing counterrotat-
ing [10] of the separation roller, and the lower paper [2] that contacts with the separation roller is fed back to
the tray [3].

C. Pre-registration control
(1) Outline
LU-202/HT-503
• The pre-registration roller [3] is driven by the paper feed motor (M1) via the pre-registration clutch (MC102).
M1 drive force is transmitted/shut off by MC102 to rotate/stop the roller.
• The pre-registration control for the second and subsequent papers differs depending on the paper size
(whether the paper is small-sized or large-sized) because of the difference in interval between papers.
• This control is carried out mainly by the pre-registration sensor (PS106) [4], LU exit sensor (PS107) [1], the
intermediate conveyance sensor/1 (PS27 in the mainbody), and the intermediate conveyance sensor/2
(PS28 in the mainbody).

(2) Control for small-sized paper

1. Paper fed by the paper feed roller hits against the pre-registration roller that is stopping due to the off-status
LU-202/HT-503
[1] of MC102, and the skew of paper is corrected.
2. Then, after a predetermined time period has elapsed, MC102 turns on [2] to rotate the pre-registration roller
to convey the paper.
3. When a predetermined time period has elapsed after PS106 detects the rear end of the paper, MC102 turns
off to stop the pre-registration roller [3].
4. The same operation is carried out for the second and subsequent papers.

(3) Control for large-sized paper

1. The pre-registration for the 1st sheet of paper is carried out in the same manner as that for small-sized
LU-202/HT-503
paper.
2. MC102 turns on again [1] after the 2nd paper hits against the pre-registration roller, and turns off [2] when a
predetermined time period has elapsed after the LU exit sensor (PS107) detects the leading edge of paper,
then keeps the off-status until the rear end of the 1st paper is detected by PS27 in the main body.
3. When PS27 detects the rear end of the 1st paper, the MC102 turns on [3] to convey the 2nd paper, and
turns off [4] when the leading edge of the 2nd paper is detected by the PS27.
4. The MC102 turns on again [5] when PS28 detects the rear end of the 1st paper, and turns off [6] when PS28
detects the leading edge of the 2nd paper.
5. When a predetermined time period has elapsed after a V-TOP signal is issued (when a printing process for
the 1st paper is finished), MC102 turns on again [7] to convey the 2nd paper, and turns off to stop the con-
veyance when a predetermined time period has elapsed after PS106 detects the rear end of the paper.

D. Air assist control

• The paper feed assist fan/Fr (FM1) and /Rr (FM2) are mounted to the side guide/Fr and /Rr respectively in
LU-202/HT-503
order to assist the separation of paper.
• When coated paper has been selected at the paper setting, FM1 and FM2 turns on upon receiving a print
start signal.
• The air-blowing level of the FM1 and FM2 can be selected from Auto, ON (strong), ON (weak), and OFF at
the paper setting.

• A paper empty status can be detected by on/off statuses of the upper limit sensor (PS109) [6] and the
LU-202/HT-503
paper empty sensor (PS108) [1].

• When paper is loaded on the tray, the paper pushes the actuator [2] up as the paper lift plate [4] moves
upward and PS108 [1] turns on. Further upward movement of the plate pushes the actuator [5] up and
turns PS109 [6] on.
• When no paper exist on the tray, the actuator [2] of PS108 [1] goes into the hole [3] of the paper lift plate [4]
instead of being pushed up, and only the actuator [5] is pushed up to turn PS109 [6] on. The status (PS108
is off and PS109 is on) is judged as a paper empty status, and an arrow mark ( ) appears on the tray mark
displayed on the touch panel of the main unit.
• When the tray runs out of paper while feeding paper, the status is detected when the PS108 becomes off
with PS109 kept on.

• The remaining amount of paper is detected by the position of the remaining paper detection gear [6] moved
LU-202/HT-503
together with the shaft [5] of the paper lift motor (M100) which drives the paper lift plate.
• The remaining paper detection gear incorporates the actuator [9], and the actuator position is detected by
the 4 remaining paper sensors; /1 (PS102) [1], /2 (PS103) [2], /3 (PS104) [3], and /4 (PS105) [4].
• According to on/off statuses of the 4 sensors, the remaining amount of paper can be figured out.

• The detection method differs between main scan direction and sub scan direction.
• Paper size in main scan direction is detected by the position of the gear of the paper size VR (VR1) [1] which
is rotated by the detection guide plate/Rr [2] mounted on the side guide/Fr [6].
• Paper size in sub scan direction is detected by the paper size sensors /Rr (PS110) [7] and /Fr (PS111) [8].
When the paper rear guide [4] moves, the detection guide plates /1 [5] and /2 [6] are moved upward/down-
ward according to their shape, and the actuators turn PS110 and PS111 on or off.

4.3.5 Centering detection control

A. Outline
• The position of paper being conveyed is detected by the centering sensor (PS1) [3] and the LU exit sensor
(PS107), and the detected result is used in the image processing section to adjust timing to start printing so
that the scanned image is properly centered on the paper.
• PS1 detects the edge of the paper in the main scan direction.
• PS107 detects the edge of the paper in the sub scan direction.

LU-202/HT-503

A. Mechanism
• Moving the paper lift plate up/down is made by winding/releasing the lift wires with the pulleys driven by the
paper lift motor (M100).
• Six lift wires are connected to the paper lift plate (three each on front and back). 2 wires each on the front
and back of the plate; lift wire/Fr2, /Fr3, /Rr2, /Rr3, lift the paper lift plate, and the other 2 (one each on front
and back); lift wire/Fr1 and /Rr1, pull the plate downward.
• The pulling force of the lift wire/Fr1 and /Rr1 is exerted by the springs and it works to stabilize the paper lift
plate.
B. Up operation
• When the upper door sensor (PS100) turns on [1] upon closing of the upper door, the paper lift motor
(M100) rotates in forward direction to lift the paper lift plate [2] until the upper limit sensor (PS109) turns on
[3].
• When the height of paper stacked in the tray becomes lower as the paper is fed, PS109 becomes off [4]
and M100 starts to rotate again in forward direction to lift the paper lift plate until PS109 becomes on [5]
again.

C. Down operation
• When the upper door sensor (PS100) turns off upon opening of the upper door, the paper lift motor (M100)
starts to rotate in reverse direction to make the paper lift plate go down by a predetermined amount.
• When the tray down switch (SW100) is pressed while PS100 is off, M100 starts to rotate in reverse direction
to lower the paper lift plate by 90 mm.
• After SW100 is pressed, M100 stops when the lower limit sensor (PS101) turns on (detects that the paper
lift plate reaches the lower limit position). The paper lift plate does not go down while PS101 is on even if
SW100 is pressed.

LU-202/HT-503
• The LU is equipped with the dehumidifier heater (HTR1) to reduce the moisture inside the LU.
• HTR1 is powered with 220 VAC supplied from the main body, and activated by turning on the dehumidifier
heater switch (SW3) on the main body and turning off the sub power switch (SW2)

LU-202/HT-503
• The interlock switch/1 (MS1) and the front door sensor (PS115) are mounted on the front door, and the
interlock switch/2 (MS2) and the upper door sensor (PS100) are mounted on the upper door.
• The power to drive the paper feed motor (M1) is transmitted via MS1 and the MS2. If the front door or the
upper door is opened, MS1 and MS2 turn off to cut the power supply to the paper feed motor (M1).
• When PS115 and PS100 turn off while paper being fed, the LU drive board (LUDB) changes M1 drive signal
into off in order to stop the paper feeding.

7.2.1 Dehumidifier fan heater control

A. Outline
• The fan heater (HTR3) and the dehumidifier fan/1 (FM3) and /2 (FM4) generate hot airflow inside the LU and
reduce moisture in order to prevent jam of coated paper due to dampness.
• The dehumidifier control has 2 processes; a dehumidifier fan heater pre-drying and the temperature limiting
dehumidification control. The first one (pre-drying) is made with HTR3 , FM3 and FM4. Once the target tem-
perature rise is achieved, the pre-drying process is finished and further dehumidification control limiting the
temperature is carried out only by HTR3.
• The dehumidification control is carried out according to the temperature inside the tray detected by the
temperature sensor (TEMS), and continued until the target temperature rise is achieved.
• Feeding paper from the LU cannot be made while the dehumidification control being performed. (this can
be allowed by changing DIPSW setting)
B. Dehumidifier fan heater pre-drying control

• The user setting menu has an option to activate pre-drying with the dehumidifier fan heater before printing
every time the upper door is opened/closed.
• When the pre-drying with the dehumidifier fan heater is set not to be activated in the user setting menu, the
pre-drying before printing is carried out if the upper door is opened/closed and a change in remaining
amount of paper is detected.
• HTR3, FM3, and FM4 turn on when 56% or higher ambient humidity is detected by the temp/humidity sen-
sor/1 (TEM/HUMS/1) of the main unit.
• FM3 and FM4 are turned on at regular intervals, and kept on for a specified time period.
C. Triggers for dehumidification control

• When the sub power switch (SW2) is turned on with the dehumidifier fan heater setting set to [Automatic] or
[On (compulsory)], and with the paper type set to coated paper.
• After the upper door is opened/closed with the dehumidifier fan heater setting set to [Automatic] or [On
(compulsory)], and with the paper type set to coated paper.
• When the paper type is changed to coated paper from other paper type with the dehumidifier fan heater
setting set to [Automatic] or [On (compulsory)].
• When the dehumidifier fan heater setting is changed to [Automatic] from [Off (compulsory)], or changed to
[On (compulsory)].
D. Temperature limiting dehumidification control

• After the pre-drying is finished, the HTR3 is turned on or off to keep the target temperature.
Ambient humidity Target temperature rise in the tray

Lower than 55% Not controlled
56 to 60% 6°C
61 to 65% 7°C
66 to 70% 8°C
71 to 75% 9°C
Higher than 76% 10°C
E. Conditions to stop the dehumidification control

• When other than coated paper is selected as the paper type while the control is in progress.
• When the dehumidifier fan heater setting is changed to [Off (compulsory)] while the control is in progress.

rotates at high speed.

2. The M5 reduces the speed at the same rate as that of the M1 after the predetermined time has passed since
the entrance sensor (PS1) detected the edge of the paper.
3. The M5 rotates at high speed again after the predetermined time has passed since the PS1 detected the
rear end of the paper.
4. M1 and M2 stop the operation after predetermined time has passed since the paper exit sensor (PS3)
detected the trailing edge of the last paper.

pressure to remove the curl of the paper.

• The decurler /Up [9] exerts a pressure on the paper curled upward (valley curl) [6] while the decurler /Lw [11]
exert a pressure on the paper curled downward (mount curl) [16].
• There are 3 modes for paper curl straightening: Upward paper curl straightening ON (Conveys toward the
decurler /Up [5]), Downward paper curl straightening ON (Conveys toward the decurler /Lw[17]), Decureler

A. Decurler /Up control

• When the upward paper curl straightening ON in the service mode and Adjustment Menu-Finisher Adjust-
ment setting, a start-printing signal is sent form the main body and the decurler gate solenoid /1 (SD2)
RU-504
starts operating. Then it switches the direction of paper conveyance path toward the decurler /Up.
• The paper conveyance path is switched to the normal path when the SD2 is OFF. When the SD2 is ON, the
path is switched toward the decurler /Up.
• SD2 stop the operation after predetermined time has passed since the paper exit sensor (PS3) detected
the trailing edge of the last paper.
B. Decurler /Lw control

• When the downward paper curl straightening ON in the service mode setting, a start-printing signal is sent
form the main body and the decurler gate solenoid /2 (SD3) starts operating. Then it switches the direction
of paper conveyance path toward the decurler /Lw.
• The paper conveyance path is switched to the normal path when the SD3 is OFF. When the SD3 is ON, the
path is switched toward the decurler /Lw.
• SD2 stop the operation after predetermined time has passed since the paper exit sensor (PS3) detected
the trailing edge of the last paper.

4.3 Operation
4.3.1 Conveyance path switching
FD-503
The conveyance path of the paper that has been conveyed to the entrance guide plate varies according to the
presence of a punch or folding, the tray into which paper is exited, and the paper size. The entrance gate, the
sub tray gate, the S size gate, the L size gate and the folding gate make the switching of the conveyance path.
(For the folding gate, refer to 6. FOLDING CONVEYANCE SECTION)
A. Entrance gate
Switching is made between the straight conveyance and the punch/folding conveyance by the entrance gate
solenoid (SD1). In the straight mode, the SD1 remains OFF.
When conveying the 1st sheet of paper for punching/folding operation, SD1 is energized a specified period of
time after the start button is turned ON.
For the 2nd and the succeeding sheets of paper, SD1 is energized in accord with the conveyance direction of
the succeeding page after the preceding page passes through the FD entrance sensor (PS1).

4.3.3 Alignment control

On paper conveyed to the punching position, the 2 alignment plates make an alignment operation to improve
the accuracy of the punch hole positioning and the folding. The forward and reverse rotation of the alignment
FD-503
motor (M12) drives the alignment plate. The alignment plate home sensor (PS10) detects its home position.
When the start button is turned ON, M12 rotates in the forward direction to move the alignment plates /Fr and /
Rr to the standby position of the paper size.
When the paper is conveyed to the punch position in a specified number of steps after it passes through the FD
entrance sensor (PS1), the roller solenoid /1 (SD5), the roller solenoid /2 (SD6), the roller solenoid /3 (SD7) and
the roller solenoid /4 (SD8) release the pressure of each roller and M12 conducts the alignment operation.
The roller solenoids that release each of the rollers from pressure are modified according to the size and the
direction of paper aligned.
A specified period of time after completion of punching the last paper, M12 rotates in the reverse direction to
bring the alignment plate back to the home position.

5.3 Operation
A. Punch control
The punch registration motor (M13) drives the punch rear claw to hold down the trailing edge of paper, and the
punch motor (M10) drives the eccentric cam for punching.
After alignment operations, the roller solenoids /1 - /4 are turned ON to let paper be placed in the unfixed condi-
tion. The paper, however, is held by the curvature of the conveyance section. Then, the punch registration motor
(M13) rotates a specified number of steps and the punch rear claw holds the trailing edge of paper to move it to
the punching position. After a specified period of time, the punch motor (M10) drives for punching. After com-
pletion of punching, M13 returns the punch rear claw to the home position. The position of the home position is
detected by the punch registration home sensor (PS11).
B. Punch hole switching control

The punch hole is switched according to the rotational direction of the punch motor (M10).
For 2-holes, M10 rotates counterclockwise to drive the 2-hole punch edge. For 3-holes, M10 rotates clockwise
to drive the 3-hole punch edge.
The 2-hole punch home sensor (PS8) detects the position of the 2-hole punch edge, and the 3-hole/4-hole
punch home sensor (PS9) detects the position of the 3-hole punch edge.
27
C. Punch scraps box control

The punch scraps box set sensor (PS12) detects the setting of the punch scraps box, and the punch scraps full
sensor (PS26) detects the full condition of the punch scraps box.

The paper that has passes through the punch registration sensor (PS6) and arrives at the folding conveyance
section is pressed against the registration roller to make adjustments for skew. A specified period of time after
the PS6 turns ON, the 1st folding motor (M4) resumes the conveyance of paper. When no folding operation is
made, no registration control is made.
However, no folding is made on the paper that has entered the folding conveyance section from the folding
entrance sensor side. The paper is conveyed vertically as is and exited to the main tray or the sub tray.

6.3.3 1st folding control

A. Conveyance/folding switching control
The switching between conveyance and folding is made by moving the 1st folding roller /1. The 1st folding
FD-503
release motor (M14) drives the eccentric cam for this switching.
After the 1st folding conveyance sensor (PS51) turns ON, the paper is conveyed by a specified number of steps.
While the paper is being conveyed, the 1st folding roller gears /1 [1] and /2 [4] rotate in the same direction since
these 2 gears are interlocked each other through the idle gear [2].
After conveying the paper by the prescribed number of steps, M14 rotates until it gets to a specified number of
steps. It rotates the eccentric cam [5] to allow the idle gear arm [3] to separate the idle gear [2] from the 1st fold-
ing roller gears /1 [1] and /2 [4]. At the same time, when M14 starts up, the cam provided on the inside of the 1st
roller gear /2 [4] rotates to allow the 1st roller /1 and 1st roller /2 to contact each other closely to rotate 1st roller
/1. get the gears engaged.
The phases of the 1st folding roller gears /1 [1] and the 1st folding roller gears /2 [3] are not aligned in the depth
direction. Therefore, they do not engage with each other after the idle gear [2] has been separated.

B. Gate fold assist control

In the Gate fold mode, the 2nd folding roller solenoid (SD18) turns ON a specified period of time after the 1st
folding motor (M14) starts folding. When SD18 starts up, the 2nd roller is pressed firmly. This is a measure taken
FD-503
to avoid a multiple fold that is apt to occur at the folding section of paper when the 2nd folding is made.

6.3.5 3rd folding control

The switching between conveyance and folding is made by moving the 3rd folding roller /1. This switching is
FD-503
made when the 3rd folding release motor (M16) drives the eccentric cam.
After the 3rd folding conveyance sensor (PS54) turns ON, the paper is conveyed by a specified number of steps.

FD-503
The up/down operation of the main tray is controlled by rotating the tray up/down motor (M11) in the normal or
reverse direction.
A. Main tray paper detection

A specified period of time after the main tray paper exit sensor (PS18) turns ON, M11 starts up to bring down
the main tray until the main tray upper limit sensor (PS20) turns OFF, and then bring it up again until PS20 turns
ON.
After the paper is exited, PS20 maintains the distance between the upper surface of the paper exited in the main
tray (the surface of the main tray when no paper exited) and the paper exit opening at a fixed distance to prevent
the paper exited from having an uneven edge.
B. Switching the operation of the main tray

The main tray is set so that it normally does not operate.
When letting the main tray operate, insert the short connector [2] into the CN90 [1].
Caution:
• Letting the main tray operate with the next option connected has a risk of damaging the machine.
Be sure not to connect the short connector.

9.3.1 Size detection control
FD-503
For the size detection of a paper, there are the following 2 directions for each of the tray /Up and the tray /Lw;
the main scan direction and the sub scan direction.
The following 3 sensors: PI maximum size sensors /Up (PS47) and /Lw (PS48) [1], L size sensors /Up (PS35)
and /Lw (PS41) [2] and S size sensors /Up (PS36) and /Lw (PS42) [3], detect the size in the sub scan when the
PI paper set sensors /Up (PS44) and /Lw (PS45) [6] turn ON.
When the PS44 and PS45 are OFF, the tray is judged "paper empty."
The paper size VR /Up (VR31) and /Lw (VR32) [4] which are interlocked with the paper regulation plate [5] detect
the size in the main scan.

9.3.2 Up/down control

For the up/down of the tray, when the paper lift motors /Up (M8) [1] and /Lw (M9) [7] rotate in the normal and
reverse directions, the lift arms /Up [11] and /Lw [9] start up to bring up and down the PI lift plates /Up [12] and
FD-503
/Lw [10]. The PI lift plate home sensors /Up (PS34) [2] and /Lw (PS40) [8] detect the lower limit position. The PI
upper limit sensors /Up (PS32) [4] and /Lw (PS38) [6] detect the upper limit position at the position to which the
actuators /Up [3] and /Lw [5] are pushed up by the PI lift plate.
When the PI paper set sensors /Up (PS44) and /Lw (PS45) are ON with the main body start button ON, M8 and
M9 turn ON to bring up the PI lift plate. When PS32 and PS38 turn ON, M8 and M9 stop.
While in the copy/print operation, when PS32 and PS38 turn OFF from ON, M8 and M9 turn ON again to bring
up the plate until PS32 and PS38 turn ON.
When PS44 and PS45 turn OFF with no paper left, M8 and M9 make a reverse rotation to move down the PI lift
plate until PS34 and PS40 turn ON.

and the separation roller [4] or the paper and the separation roller is greater than the frictional force of the torque
limiter [3]. Accordingly, the separation roller [4] rotates in the direction of the paper conveyance [2] to convey
paper to the vertical conveyance section.
When 2 or more sheets of paper are conveyed, the frictional force between these sheets of paper is smaller than
the frictional force of the torque limiter [3] and the separation roller [4] rotates in the reverse direction to prevent
the lower most paper from being conveyed.
When the PI registration clutches /Up (CL1) and /Lw (CL2) turn ON according to the PI paper feed demand sig-
nal, the paper feed roller [1], the separation roller [4], and the pick-up roller [7] rotate to convey the paper one at
a time.

9.3.5 Multi feed detection control

To detect a multi feed while in the PI paper feed, the PI conveyance path is provided with the multi feed sensor.
The multi feed sensor is an ultrasonic sensor made up of a pair of a sender and a receiver. This sensor receives
FD-503
ultrasonic waves sent from the multi feed detection board /1 (MFDB1) [1] by the multi feed detection board /2
(MFDB2) [2].
Based on the difference in the amount of ultrasonic waves received when a single sheet of paper [1] and the plu-
ral sheets of paper [4] pass through between the sender and the receiver, a check is made to see if paper has
been multi fed or not.
The multi feed detection function turns ON (operates) when the LED on the lower side is turned on by the multi
feed detection function selection button on the FD operation board (FDOB) and when no selection is made. It
turns OFF (does not operate) when the LED on the upper side is turned on.

The PI empty sensors /Up (PS33) and /Lw (PS39) detect the presence of paper in the tray section while in the
print stop. PI set sensors /Up (PS44) and /Lw (PS45) detect the paper empty while in the print to stop the paper
feed from the trays /1 to /5 when PS44 and PS45 detect the trailing edge of the last paper.

4.3 Operation
4.3.1 Door open/close mechanism
LS-505
While the LS is in operation, the front door lock solenoid (SD4) locks the front door, thus making it impossible to
open and close it. However, while in the coupling conveyance (coupling mode) or while exiting paper into the
sub tray (sub tray mode), the front door can be opened and closed.
Pressing the paper removing switch on the stacker tray operation board (TOB) brings down the stacker tray.
When the stacker tray arm release sensor (PS15) is turn on, SD4 turns off immediately.
The lock is released due to SD4 being turned off and the front door can be opened and closed.
4.3.2 Jam release lever lock mechanism

The entrance guide plate and the coupling guide plate are provided with a jam release lever to release jams. The
entrance conveyance lock solenoid (SD5) and the coupling conveyance lock solenoid (SD11) operate each of
the jam release levers.

5.3 Operation
5.3.1 Path switching
LS-505
The path along which paper conveyed to the entrance guide plate is conveyed varies according to the operation
mode. The 1st gate and the 2nd gate switch the conveyance path.
A. 1st gate
The switching of the conveyance path is made between the stacker tray paper exit (stacker tray non-sort mode
and stacker tray sort mode) and the sub tray paper exit (sub tray mode) and the coupling conveyance (coupling
mode).

5.3.3 Paper cooling mechanism

Paper conveyed to the LS is likely to curl up due to fusing heat.
Heat storage accumulated in paper stacked during continuous printing may cause tacking (sheets of paper
LS-505
sticking hard each other by toner) when toner that has been fused is re-fused and adheres. So, fresh air is blown
on the paper from under the entrance guide plate and above the path guide of the upper surface of the paper
stack section, thus cooling down the paper to correct curling and prevent tacking.

6.3 Operation
6.3.1 Stacker tray conveyance
LS-505
While in the stacker tray non-sort mode and the stacker tray sort mode, paper is conveyed into the stacker tray.
A. Decurler
Paper that has passed through the 1st gate is conveyed to the grip belt by the decurler roller. At this time, the
decurler roller corrects the curled paper.
B. Grip conveyance
Paper conveyed by the decurler roller enters and is help by the grip provided on the grip belt. The paper held by
the grip is conveyed to the section above the stacker tray by the rotation of the grip belt.
2 grips are provided on the grip belt and each one of them conveys paper one after the other. The grip convey-
ance home sensor (PS5) controls the position where the grip is waiting for paper from the decurler roller.

C. Front stopper control

Paper conveyed by the grip strikes against the front stopper equipped to the shift unit and is released from the
grip. At this time, the shift unit has been moved to the position specified in advance for each paper size.
LS-505
2 types of the front stoppers, more specifically, a movable type and a stationary type, are employed. In stacker
tray non-sort mode, only the movable type front stopper is employed. A distance of 20mm is kept between the
position where the movable type front stopper stops and the position in which the stationary type front stopper
is, which is the shift distance.
When stacking tab paper, paper is aligned by either stationary type front stopper or movable type front stopper.
Therefore, it is impossible to shift tab paper for stacking.
For the front stopper solenoid (SD9) that drives the movable type front stopper, a latch-type solenoid is
employed that is not required to be energized to maintain the ON state. However, a latch-type solenoid requires
a different control signal for each ON and OFF action.

D. Job partition plate

In stacker tray sort mode, the trailing edge of the shift paper is restricted by the job partition plate and the paper
is exited onto the stacker tray 20mm shifted from the non-shift paper. At this time, the upper surface of the non-
LS-505
shift paper does not come to the same level as the lower edge of the job partition plate and the 1st sheet of the
shift paper is in possibility of getting into the lower side of the job partition plate. To prevent this, the job partition
plate is attached to the upper surface of the non-shift paper that has been exited to restrict the entry of the
paper.
For the job partition solenoid (SD2) that drives the job partition plate, a latch-type solenoid is employed that is
not required to be energized to maintain the ON state. However, a latch-type solenoid requires a different control
signal for each ON and OFF action.

E. Rear stopper control

While in the stacker tray sort mode is in shifting, the rear stopper is left open and this plays as a guide for the
trailing edge of paper.
LS-505
To assist the separation of paper released from the grip, the paddle is rotated at a high speed.
For the rear stopper solenoid (SD3) that drives the rear stopper, a latch-type solenoid is employed that does not
need to be energized to maintain the ON state. However, a latch-type solenoid requires a different control signal
for each ON and OFF action.

F. Paper press arm

The paper that has been released from the grip is pressed one at a time onto the stacker tray by the paper pres-
sure arms /1, /2 and /3 to be loaded on the stacker tray. However, the operation of the paper pressure arm /2 is
LS-505
limited only to the paper size larger than B4.

H. Stacker tray up down control

The paper empty sensor (PS6) detects the upper surface of paper loaded on the stacker tray through the paper
press arm /3. When PS6 is turned off by loading exited paper, the stacker tray up down motor (M1) turns on to
LS-505
lower the stacker tray down to the position at which PS6 turns on. The stacker tray is thus held at a fixed height
when paper is being exited.
The number of sheets of paper loaded on the stacker tray is detected by the 2,000 sheets stacked sensor
(PS13) and the 5,000 sheets stacked sensor (PS14) provided on the up down path of the stacker tray and dis-
played on the operation panel. (The main unit makes 3,000 sheets stacked detection.)
When the hand cart once pulled out is put back to its original position, the stacker tray moves up to return to its
home position. If the paper detection sensor (PS19) detects that papers are loaded on the stacker tray, the tray
stops moving up in order to prevent the uplifted paper from damaging the alignment plate.
I. Hand cart detection mechanism

The hand cart set switch (RS1) detects the set condition of the hand cart. The set condition of the stacker tray is
detected by checking to see if the light from the stacker tray set LED (LED1) gets to the stacker tray set sensor
(PS1).
6.3.2 Coupling conveyance

In coupling mode, paper is conveyed to the device connected to the subsequent stage of the LS through the
coupling conveyance section.

When paper is conveyed from the main body, the conveyance motor (M2) at the entrance conveyance section is
rotated at the same speed as the conveyance speed of the main body. When paper is conveyed to the LS, the
speed of rotation of M2 is increased up to 1,000mm/s to convey paper.
6.3.3 Sub tray conveyance

In sub tray mode, paper is exited into the sub tray.

B. Paper full control

When the number of the sheets of paper discharged on the sub-tray gets to 200, the sub tray full sensor (PS9)
turns on to give indication of "paper full" on the operation panel.

4.3 Operation
FS-521
A. Tray gate control
The tray gate switches the paper conveyance path between the main tray and the sub tray.
The tray gate is normally specified to the conveyance path to the main tray. When paper is exited to the sub tray,
however, the gate is switched to the path to the sub tray through the drive of the solenoid (SD2).
B. Bypass gate control

The bypass gate is provided on the paper path to the stacker section. Even while in the staple operation, the
bypass gate conveys the next page to reduce a loss of time for a high productivity.
The bypass solenoid (SD5) [2] drives the bypass gate [1]. The operation of SD5 is limited only to the small-sized
paper (A4, B5 and 8 1/2 x 11) except for thick paper in the staple mode.
For the 1st page on and after the 2nd copy, paper is sent to the regular route [3]. SD5 operates only on the 2nd
page to send paper to the bypass route [4]. The 1st and 2nd pages are put upon one another to be conveyed to
the stacker simultaneously. On and after the 3rd page, SD5 is released and paper is sent on the regular route a
sheet of paper at a time.

4.3.2 Bypass roller /Lw pressure release control

The bypass roller is provided after the bypass gate of the paper conveyance path to the stacker section. The nip
status of the bypass roller has 3 steps, which are normal pressure, pressure release and high-pressure.
FS-521
The status for normal 1 sheet conveyance is normal pressure.
The pressure of the bypass roller is released for the small-size paper (A4, B5 and 81/2 x 11) except thick paper in
the staple mode, because 1st and 2nd paper after the 2nd copy are overlapped on the bypass gate. Paper
other than the small-size paper is not overlapped even in the staple mode, therefore the pressure of the bypass
roller is not released in this case.
The status for thick paper is high pressure, because the paper conveyance in bypass gate section has a large
curvature.
The bypass roller release motor (M12) [5] drives the 3 steps of bypass roller /Lw [8] nip status. The bypass roller
release home sensor (PS16) [6] detects the home position, and the pressure is normal pressure status by the
spring [9].
When M12 rotates in the reverse direction [2], the pressure release lever [4] is driven through the cam [7] and the
pressure of the bypass roller /Lw is released by leverage from the center of the shaft [1].
When M12 rotates in the forward direction [3], the elastically-deformed pressure spring plate [10] presses the
shaft of the bypass roller /Lw to be high pressed.

(2) For the 2nd and subsequent copies

After a specified period of time when the paper exit sensor of previous devise (RU paper exit sensor (PS3) if pre-
vious devise is RU) detects the leading edge of 1st page of 2nd copy, the bypass roller release motor (M12)
turns reverse rotation ON to move the bypass roller /Lw to the pressure release point, and then turns OFF. After
a specified period of time when the paper exit sensor of previous devise detects the leading edge of 2nd page of
2nd copy, M12 turns forward rotation ON at the timing the 2nd page of 2nd copy drawn into the bypass route
passes through on the bypass roller /Up side, and then M12 turns OFF with turning ON the bypass roller release
home sensor (PS13).
SD12 does not turn on when the 3rd and subsequent pages are being conveyed.

6.3 Drive
6.3.1 Stacker conveyance speed control
FS-521
Paper conveyed by the conveyance motor (M1) is sent to the stacker when the stacker entrance motor (M13) is
decelerated a specified period of time after the stacker entrance sensor (PS5) turns ON and before it runs
through the stacker entrance roller.
6.3.2 Intermediate roller control

The roller drive of the intermediate roller /Lw is transmitted from the main tray paper exit motor (M7) by the belt
and the coupling, and the transmission of the conveyance power to paper is made by the pressure/release of
the intermediate roller /Up.
A. Non-staple control
While in the non-staple mode, when the start signal is turned ON, the intermediate roller /Up [1] is driven up to
the nip standby position by the cam [2] of the intermediate roller open close motor (M25).
The intermediate roller home sensor (PS33) [3] detects the home position of the intermediate roller /Up open/
close operation.

While in the print operation, the intermediate roller release solenoid (SD7) [3] makes the pressure/release of the
intermediate roller /Up [1] onto the intermediate roller /Lw [2].
When paper is being conveyed to the stacker, SD7 turns ON to release the nip, and paper that passes through
FS-521
the opening between the intermediate roller /Up [1] and the intermediate roller /Lw [2] is conveyed to the stacker.
When paper is being exited, SD7 turns OFF and the intermediate roller /Up [1] is pressed against the intermedi-
ate roller /Lw [2] by the pressure of the spring. The paper is nipped before being exited.

1st and 2nd pages of 2nd and subsequent copies are overlapped on the stacker for securing time of moving the
paper exit alignment plate to the shift position in the shift mode of small-size (A4, B5, 81/2 x 11) which paper
FS-521
intervals are conveyed within the specified period of time. SD7 does not turn OFF after 1st page of 2nd and sub-
sequent copies in this case.
When pages are not overlapped on the stacker, it conducts the same operation as straight mode.
22
B. Staple control
While in the staple mode operation, through the initial operation made when the start signal turns ON, the inter-
mediate roller /Up [1] is moved to the evacuation position by the eccentric cam [2] driven by the intermediate
FS-521

6.3.3 Stack assist control

The stack assist plate is a paper pressure plate that is used to increase the speed to put paper in the stacker for
an increased productivity.
FS-521
The stack assist motor (M24) drives the stack assist plate [1]. When being conveyed to the stacker section, each
sheet of paper is pressed at the position near the rear end of the paper [2] to be stacked at a speed faster than
a free fall.
The stack assist plate rotates by 65° from the home position in the staple mode and by 80° in the shift and
straight mode.
The stack assist home sensor (PS32) [3] detects the home position.

6.3.4 Rear stopper control

The rear stopper is a paper rear stopper when paper is exited in the non-staple (straight/sort) mode. It shortens
the conveyance distance to the main tray for an improved productivity.
The rear stopper motor (M26) drives and releases the rear stopper in the staple mode.
The set state in the non-staple mode (the position at which the rear stopper stops paper) is the home position of
the rear stopper, and the rear stopper home sensor (PS35) detects it.
24

A. Horizontal alignment
The horizontal alignment is made by the 2 alignment plates, that is, alignment plate /Fr and alignment plate /Rr.
FS-521
Each of the alignment motor /Fr (M22) and the alignment motor /Rr (M5) drive these 2 alignment plates indepen-
dently.
The alignment home sensor /Fr (PS31) detects the home position of the alignment plate /Fr, and the alignment
home sensor /Rr (PS8) detects the home position of the alignment plate /Rr.
(1) Straight mode

In the straight mode, each sheet of paper sent to the stacker is aligned by the alignment plate /Fr and the align-
ment plate /Rr before being exited to the straight position.
25
(2) Shift mode

In the shift mode, each time a sheet of paper is sent to the stacker, the alignment plate /Fr [1] and the alignment
plate /Rr [2] shift to the rear to convey the paper [3] to the shift position before exiting it.
FS-521
However, the alignment plates make only alignment operation and do not shift for the 1st page of 2nd and sub-
sequent copies when pages are overlapped in the shift mode. The paper exit alignment plate shifts after 2nd
page is conveyed to the stacker.

In the staple mode, the alignment operation is made by the alignment plates /Fr and /Rr for each sheet of paper
that has been sent to the stacker. After the last sheet of paper of the copy is conveyed to the stacker section,
FS-521
the alignment operation for the staple is made for stapling.
B. Vertical alignment
In the staple mode, for the vertical alignment of paper, the paper is pushed against the flat-stapling stopper by
the paddle driven by the paddle motor (M2).
The vertical alignment is assisted by the swing roller that is interlocked with the paddle by M2.

7.3 Operation
7.3.1 Stapler movement control
FS-521
Stapler movements have 2 types, one is a horizontal movement of the stapler intervals and the other one is a
rotation of the stapler /Rr. Movement is made according to the staple mode.
The stapler movement motor (M11) conducts the horizontal movement of the stapler. The stapler /Rr and the
stapler /Fr are fixed on the upper side and the lower side of a belt that forms a loop and moved respectively in
the opposite direction by the motor M11.
The stapler movement home sensor (PS11) detects the home position of the horizontal movement.
The stapler rotation motor (M4) conducts the 45° rotational movement of the stapler /Rr for the one-corner sta-
pling at rear.
The stapler rotation home sensor (PS14) detects the home position of the rotational movement.
A. 1 staple
(1) 1 staple/at front
When the start signal turns ON, the stapler movement motor (M11) also turns ON to move the stapler to the
position according to the paper size.
(2) Size movement in 1 staple/one-corner stapling at rear
position according to the paper size. After a specified period of time, the stapler rotation motor (M4) also turns
ON to rotate the stapler /Rr and moves diagonally.
When a staple empty condition of the stapler /Rr is detected at the one-corner stapling at rear, M4 is driven to
replace the cartridge and the stapler is returned to its vertical position.
B. 2 staples
position according to the paper size.

7.3.2 Staple control

The staple control is made by the stapler motors /Rr (M30) and /Fr (M31) to drive the eccentric cam.
The inside [2] of the eccentric cam [1] has the cam groove [4] of the pressure arm [3] and the pin [6] of the staple
FS-521
cut/clinch arm [5]. The outside [7] of the eccentric cam also has the cam groove [9] of the stapling arm [8].
Each time when the eccentric cam makes a 1/4 turn, each of the following operations is made: 1. paper pressure,
2. stapling, 3. staple cut/clinch, and 4. return to the home position. A series of the operations completes in a full
turn.
The stapler home sensors /Rr (PS40), /Fr (PS41) detects the home position.

A. Paper pressure
When the eccentric cam rotates 90° from the home position, the cam groove [1] on the inside drives the pin [3]
provided on the pressure arm [2] in the arrow-marked direction. The pressure arm [2] drives the pressure plate
FS-521
[4] and presses the clinch side hard against the staple side [5] to press the paper [6].
At the same time, the pin [8] provided in the groove [7] on the outside of the cam drives the stapling arm [9]. The
pin [10] at the tip of the stapling arm moves along the groove [12] of the pressure claw [11], and drives the pres-
sure claw [11] with the lever to press the paper.
The following figure shows an inside cam on the left and an outside cam on the right.

B. Staple control
When the eccentric cam rotates from 90° to 180° the cam groove [1] on the outside drives the pin [3] provided
on the stapling arm [2] in the arrow-marked direction. The pin at the tip [4] of the stapling arm pushes up the sta-
FS-521
pling blade [5] to push out the staple [6], punch out the paper [7] and staple it.
At the same time, to make preparation for the next stapling, the staple is bent 90° by the staple bending blade
[8].

C. Staple cut/clinch control

When the eccentric cam rotates from 180° to 270° the pin [1] provided on the inside drives the staple cut/clinch
arm [2] in the arrow-marked direction.
FS-521
At the start of rotation, the lever operation of the staple cut/clinch arm [2] rotates the coupling metal fitting [3] to
pull the pin [4] in the arrow-marked direction and the staple [7] inserted into the round hole [6] of the staple cut
blade [5] is cut. Cut staple scraps drop into the duct to be collected in the staple scraps box.
With the further rotation of the eccentric cam, the tip of the presser metal fitting [8] that is interlocked with the
staple cut/clinch arm [2] pushes down the clinch metal fitting [9] to clinch the staple [7] that has been cut. When
the eccentric cam rotates up to 270° the clinch operation is completed.
After completion of clinching, the eccentric cam rotates to the home position to complete a series of operations.

D. Cartridge detection
The cartridge set sensors /Rr (PS42), /Fr (PS43) detect the presence of a cartridge or the incorrect setting of a
cartridge. When there is no cartridge or the cartridge is set incorrectly, an error message is displayed on the
FS-521
operation section.
E. Staple detection
When the staples run short, the staple empty sensors /Rr (PS44), /Fr (PS45) detect this condition and display an
error message on the operation section.
F. Staple tip detection

The staple ready sensors /Rr (PS46), /Fr (PS47) detect the tip of the staple.
While in the stapling operation, the staple ready sensors determine that the staples have been clogged when the
PS46 and PS47 do not turn on within a specified period of time after the staple home sensors /Rr (PS 40), /Fr
(PS41) turn off, and rotate the stapler motors /Rr (M30), /Fr (M31) in the reverse direction up to the home posi-
tion.
G. Staple scraps box detection

The staple scraps box set sensor (PS34) detects the presence of a staple scraps box or the incorrect setting of
a box. When there is no staple scraps box or it is set incorrectly, an error message is displayed on the operation
section.

8.3 Operation
8.3.1 Paper exit opening control
FS-521
When paper is too long and protruding, the paper exit opening is opened and closed for alignment.
There are 3 opening positions available according to the mode and the paper length.
For paper shorter than the following length, the paper exit opening is not opened in the non-staple mode or the
staple mode.
Mode Angle of the opening Paper length in the sub scan direction
Non-staple Approx. 27° 239mm or more
Staple Approx. 44° 400mm or more
Staple Approx. 55° Between 219mm and 400mm
For the open/close of the paper exit opening, the paper exit motor (M8) rotates and the deformed cam [1] lifts up
the entire paper exit opening unit [2] to open the paper exit opening. The paper exit opening home sensor
(PS12) [3] detects the open/close of the paper exit opening.

In the case that the paper length in the sub scan direction is less than 239mm, the paper exit opening closes
with the home position search of the paper exit opening motor by the start signal ON and then the paper is
nipped and exited after the alignment operation.
In the case that the paper length is 239mm or longer, paper exit unit is opened by 27° after the home position
search of M8 by the start signal ON. While in printing, after the alignment operation, the paper exit opening is
closed temporary to nip the paper to be exited.
43
B. Staple control
In the case that the paper length in the sub scan direction is less than 219mm, the paper exit opening closes
with the home position search of the paper exit opening motor by the start signal ON and then the paper is
FS-521
nipped and exited after the staple operation.

In the case that the paper length is 219mm or longer, paper exit unit is opened by 44° (paper length: 400mm or
more) /55° (paper length: 219mm - 399mm) after the home position search of M8 by the start signal ON. After
the staple operation, it closes the paper exit opening temporary to nip the paper and then exits paper.
8.3.2 Paper press arm control

Paper press arm control avoids exited pages misalignment.
Paper exit solenoid (SD9) drives paper press arm.
Subsequent pages cause a misalignment of pages already exited, so the paper press arm presses exited pages
to avoid that misalignment.

FS-521
After a specified period of time when the stacker empty sensor (PS20) detects the trailing edge of the subse-
quent paper, SD9 turns OFF and paper press arm releases, right before the trailing edge of paper passes
through the paper exit roller, for the preparation to press paper which is passing through. It repeats the operation
for each paper exit.

The paper press arm presses paper when the inserted paper exits, because the bundle of stapled sheets mis-
aligns paper which is inserted between the bundle of stapled sheets in the subset staple mode which the num-
ber of staple sheets is 10 or more.
After a specified period of time when the main tray paper exit sensor (PS10) detects the trailing edge of inserted
paper, the paper exit opening solenoid (SD9) turns ON and inserted paper is pressed. After a specified period of
time when PS10 detects the trailing edge of the bundle of stapled sheets, SD9 turns OFF and stands by for exit-
ing inserted paper.

8.3.3 Main tray up/down control

The driving force of the tray up down motor (M3) rotates the lift pulley by the belt and the gear to wind up the lift
wire. The main tray goes up or down according to the direction in which the up/down wire is wound up. When
FS-521
the lift pulley /Lw rotates clockwise as seen from the front, the main tray goes up and when it rotates counter-
clockwise, the tray goes down.
The tray upper limit LED (LED1) [1] and the tray upper limit sensor (PS16) [5] detect the upper surface of paper
(the main tray upper surface when no paper is exited) [3].
The paper empty LED (LED2) [4] and the paper empty sensor (PS39) [2] detect extraction of paper in continuous
operation.

With the start signal ON [1] from the main body, the tray up down motor (M3) turns ON to move down the main
tray [2], then the paper empty sensor (PS39) turns OFF, and then M3 turns reverse rotation ON to move up the
main tray. The tray upper limit sensor (PS16) turns ON to rerotate M3 in forward direction, and moves down the
main tray to the turning OFF position of PS16 from the paper exit opening. This operation maintains the distance
between the upper surface of the paper exited in the main tray (the surface of the main tray when no paper
exited) and the paper exit opening at a fixed distance to prevent the paper exited from having an uneven edge.
During the print operation, the exited paper turns PS16 ON, and M3 turns ON to move down the main tray to
the specified position.

B. Staple control
(1) When the number of staple sheets is 20 or less.
It conducts same control as non-staple control.
(2) When the number of staple sheets is more than 20.

The stacker empty sensor (PS20) detects the trailing edge of paper, then the tray up down motor (M3) turns ON
to move down the main tray to the position according to the number of staple sheets, and then the motor turns
OFF.
When the paper empty sensor (PS39) turns OFF unexpectedly with the error caused by the staple sheets, M3
turns ON to move up the main tray to the position which the tray upper limit sensor (PS16) turns ON, then the
rotation is changed over to move down the main tray to the position which PS16 turns OFF, and then M3 turns
OFF.
C. Main tray paper detection control

The tray quarter position sensor (PS17), the tray middle position sensor (PS6), and the tray lower limit sensor
(PS3) detect the maximum number of loadable sheets on the main tray.
The stopping position of paper full detection varies according to the size of paper for each mode.
PS17 position : About 750 sheets (in the case of 80g/m2)
After it stops by detecting paper full, the paper full detection status is released when the tray up down motor
(M3) turns ON to turn the counter reset sensor (PS15) ON.
(1) Straight/Shift mode

It stops printing when each sensors turn ON and displays the message on the operation panel.

tinuous printing.
Once it turns OFF PS39 while in continuous printing, it turns ON the tray up down motor (M3) and raises the
main tray until the tray upper limit sensor (PS16) turns ON, and then by switching the rotation it lowers the main
tray until PS16 turns OFF to turn OFF M3.

8.3.4 Paper exit alignment control

Paper exit alignment motor /Fr (M15) [4] operates the alignment drive of the paper exit alignment plate /Fr [2]
and the paper exit alignment plate home sensor /Fr (PS18) [3] detects the home position. As well, the paper exit
FS-521
alignment motor /Rr (M14) [5] operates the alignment drive of the paper exit alignment plate /Rr [1] and the
paper exit alignment plate home sensor /Rr (PS19) [9] detects the home position.
When the paper exit alignment plate /Fr, /Rr moves to the paper size or returns to the home position, paper exit
alignment plate retraction motor (M18) projects the rack [7] and pushes up the bottom of the paper exit align-
ment plate [6] to conduct the retraction of the paper exit alignment plate. Once the rack is pulled back, the
paper exit alignment plate falls down to the alignment position with its weight. Paper exit alignment plate retrac-
tion home sensor (PS24) detects the home position in the retraction.

A. Straight mode
In the straight mode, it conducts the alignment operation at the center of the main tray if the paper is over
182mm in the main scan direction.
It turns ON the paper exit alignment motor /Fr (M15) and /Rr (M14) with the start signal ON, and the paper exit
alignment plate /Fr and /Rr move to the paper size standby position which is at the center of the main tray with
remaining in the retraction status (lift up), and then it turns OFF.
Once the movement to the paper size stand by position is completed, it turns ON the paper exit alignment plate
retraction motor (M18) and pulls down the paper exit alignment plate /Fr and /Rr.
After a specified period of time when the stacker empty sensor (PS20) detects the trailing paper edge, it con-
ducts the alignment operation on the paper exit alignment plate /Fr and /Rr by turning ON M15 and M14 for
each paper exit.
After a specified period of time when the last alignment operation is finished, it turns ON M18 to evacuate (lift up)
the paper exit alignment plate /Fr and /Rr and then turns OFF M18 by turning ON the paper exit alignment home
sensor (PS24).
At the same time, it turns ON M15 and M14 by turning ON PS24, moves the paper exit alignment plate /Fr and
/Rr to the home position, and turns OFF M15 and M14 by turning ON the paper exit alignment plate home sen-
sor /Fr (PS18) and /Rr (PS19).

B. Shift mode
In the shift mode, it conducts the alignment operation at the position 10mm away in front and rear from the cen-
ter of the main tray (Shift amount: 20mm) if the paper is over 210mm in the main scan direction.
If the paper is 210mm or less in the main scan direction, it does not conduct the paper exit alignment but con-
ducts the shift operation with the alignment plate of the stacker.
It conducts the paper exit alignment operation with one paper exit alignment plate while in fixing the other plate,
but the operation differs in small-size and large-size according to the length in the sub scan direction.
When shifting to the front side, in a case of small-size, it conducts the alignment operation with the paper exit
alignment plate /Fr while in fixing the paper exit alignment plate /Rr to the position of the paper edge which
exited from the stacker. When shifting to the back side, it conducts the alignment with the paper exit alignment
plate /Rr while in fixing the paper exit alignment plate /Fr.
When shifting to the front side, in a case of large-size, it conducts the alignment operation by fixing the paper
exit alignment plate /Fr while shifting the paper exit alignment plate /Rr to the front along with the exiting paper
from the stacker. When shifting to the back side as well, it conducts the alignment operation with the paper exit
alignment plate /Fr while in fixing the paper exit alignment plate /Rr.
(1) Small-size (sub-scanning direction length: shorter than 297mm)

It turns ON the paper exit alignment motor /Fr (M15) and /Rr (M14) with the start signal ON, and the paper exit
alignment plate /Fr and /Rr move to the paper size standby position which is 10mm front side from the center
paper exit position of the main tray with remaining in the retraction status (lift up), and then it turns OFF.
After a specified period of time when the stacker empty sensor (PS20) detects the trailing paper edge, it con-
ducts the alignment operation with the paper exit alignment plate /Fr by turning ON M15 for each paper exit.

It turns ON M18 by turning OFF M15 and M14 to evacuate (lift up) the paper exit alignment plate /Fr and /Rr and
then turns OFF M18 by turning ON the paper exit alignment home sensor (PS24).
Once the evacuation (lift up) is finished by turning ON PS24, it turns ON M15 and M14, moves to the shift posi-
tion on the rear side, and turns OFF M15 and M14. It turns ON M18 by turning OFF M15 which moves longer to
pull down the paper exit alignment plate.
It conducts the alignment operation on the paper exit alignment plate /Rr for each paper exit after a specified
period of time when PS20 detects the trailing edge of paper.
After completion of the job, as well as the straight mode, once the last alignment operation is finished, it evacu-
ates (lifts up) the paper exit alignment plate and goes back to the home position.

Note
• When reinstalling the covers, be sure to rotate
the tray up/down motor counterclockwise as
seen from above to raise the lift stay about
12cm before installing each cover. Since the
lift stay comes down lower than the normal
operating range due to the lift gear box being
removed, it is inevitably necessary to raise
the lift stay to install it without the left cover /
Fr and the rear cover hitting against the up/
down stay.

A. Procedure
[3] [4] Caution:

• Be careful not to get your hand caught in the
opening [1] of the stapler unit. Pressing the
staple side [2] or the clinch side [3] causes
[1] the opening [1] to close unexpectedly. Be
careful not to close it since it is very hard to
open the opening by hand once it closed.
[2] When holding the stapler unit, be sure to hold
it at both ends of the cam shaft [4].
• When conducting the operation, be sure to
wear protective gloves.
• When conducting the operation, be careful
not to get the glove or your hand caught in

the gear [2] that comes into contact the motor
gear to open the opening [5] until the pin [3] at the
tip of the stapling arm comes to the bottom of the
[5]
[6] slit [4].
[4]
Caution:
[3] • Considerable force is required to rotate the
gear. Be sure to wear gloves not to get
[2] [1] fs503fs2056c injured.
Note
• The gear can be rotated in the easier direc-
tion.

4.3 Operation
FS-520/607
4.3.1 Punch registration control (available only when PK is installed)
The FNS conveyance motor (M1) turns OFF temporarily to stop conveyance of paper when the specified time
has passed since paper exit sensor (PS37) detected the leading edge of the paper. Thus the paper is pressed
against the entrance roller forming a loop to correct the bend. When the specified time has passed, M1 turns
ON to restart conveying the paper.The above operation is not performed when conveying a large paper (220
mm and longer in the sub scan direction) and in the non-punchingmode.
When punching the paper conveyed from PI, the loop is formed on the PI's side. For details, refer to PI-502 ser-
vice manual.

4.3.2 FS transfer control

The FS transfer is conducted by the 24V DC motor controlled by the FNS control board (FNSCB).
FS-520/607
A. Door switch control

The FS transfer drive control is started when transmitting the start signal from the main body. However, en error
message is transmitted to the main body PRCB and the control is not started if the door switch (MS1) turns OFF.
B. FS transfer control
The FNS transfer motor (M1) rotates in high speed when pressing the start button. In the mode the paper is
exited from the main body in slow speed, M1 rotates in slow speed when the main body paper exit sensor
(PS37) turns ON. Then it rotates in high speed after a specified period of time since the FNS entrance sensor
(PS4) turns ON.
When exiting to the main tray, M1 rotates in middle speed to in sync with the FS paper exit line speed after a
specified period of time since PS4 detects the trailing edge of the paper. Then after a specified period of time,
M1 returns to rotate in high speed and waits for the subsequent paper.
16
4.3.3 Gate drive control

The gate switches among the paper transfer path to the main tray, the one to the sub tray, and the one to the
FS-520/607
stacker.
A. Gate operation
The gate motor (M12) drives the gate cam [2], and then 2 cams /UP [3] and /Lw [4] of the gate cum drive the 2
gates /UP [5] and /Lw [6] respectively. The gate home sensor (PS16) [7] detects the home position.

B. Gate control
The FNS control board (FNSCB) controls the gate.
The gate turns ON when transmitting the FS operation signal from the main body, and then it stops either at the
sub tray (home position) [1], stacker [2], or main tray [3]. It does not move when exiting to the sub tray because
the sub tray is the home position.
When completing the printing, the gate home sensor (PS16) detects the home position and stops the gate.

4.3.4 Bypass gate control

The bypass gate is located in the paper path to the stacker section. The bypass gate is the gate to transfer the
FS-520/607
subsequent paper during the stapling operation for eliminating the time loss and increasing the productivity.
A. Bypass gate operation

The bypass gate solenoid (SD5) [2] drives the bypass gate [1].
For the small size paper (A4, B5, and 81/2 x 11), it operates only for the 1st page of the 2nd and following copies
to transfer the paper to the bypass route [3]. The 2nd page of the 2nd and following copies is transferred to the
regular route [4] and overlapped under the 1st page, and then the transferred to the stacker section.

B. Bypass gate control

The bypass gate only operates for the small size paper (A4, B5, and 81/2 x 11) in the stapling mode. The FNS
FS-520/607
control board (FNSCB) controls the bypass gate solenoid (SD5).
When stapling 2 sheets of paper for 3 copies, SD5 operates as follows.

When the paper for the 1st copy is transferred, the bypass gate solenoid (SD5) does not operate.
(2) For the 2nd copy

The bypass gate solenoid (SD5) turns ON and draws the 1st paper of the 2nd copy to the bypass after a speci-
fied period of time since the staple operation for the 1st copy is started [4]. SD5 turns OFF after a specified
period of time since the FNS entrance sensor (PS4) detects the trailing edge of the paper [6].
(3) For the 3rd and following copies

The bypass gate (SD5) turns ON and draws the 1st paper of the 3rd copy to the bypass after a specified period
of time since the FNS entrance sensor (PS4) detects the trailing edge of the last paper of the 2nd copy [7]. SD5
turns OFF after a specified period of time since PS4 detects the trailing edge of the paper [8].

4.3.5 Shift control

The FNS transfer motor (M1) drives the shift roller. The shift roller moves itself backward to shift the paper while
FS-520/607
transferring the paper to the main tray.
A. Shift operation
During conveying the paper to the main tray [1], the crank mechanism [3] shifts the shift movable section [5]
including the shift roller [4] approximately 30 mm backward [6] to shift and exit the paper when shift roller motor
(M2) [2] rotates.
The shift roller home sensor (PS18) [7] detects the shift position.

B. Shift control
In the sort/group mode, the shift roller motor (M2) turns ON [2] and shifts the shift movable section after a spec-
FS-520/607
ified period of time since the FNS entrance sensor (PS4) detects the trailing edge of the paper [1]. The FNS
transfer motor (M1) drives the shift roller. It shifts the paper while transferring it.
M2 stops when the shift roller completes the shift operation and the shift roller home sensor (PS18) turns ON [3].
Then, M2 turns ON [4] again after a specified period of time since it stops. It stops when PS18 turns OFF [5].
This operation replaces the shift movable section to its original position, and then it stands by for the subsequent
paper to be shifted.
These operations are repeated for every paper to offset it.

4.3.6 Paper exit roller control

The paper exit roller motor (M7) controlled by the FNS control board (FNSCB) drives the main tray paper exit
FS-520/607
roller and the paper exit belt.
A. Non-sort/sort/group mode
The paper exit roller motor (M7) rotates in high speed when the FNS entrance sensor (PS4) detects the leading
edge of the paper [1]. M7 rotate in low speed [2] and exits the paper after a specified period of time since PS4
detects the trailing edge of the paper.
To transfer the subsequent paper, M7 rotate in high speed again after a specified period of time since the main
tray paper exit sensor (PS6) detects the trailing edge of the paper [3].
M7 stops after a specified period of time since PS6 detects the last paper.

B. Stapling mode (when the paper length is B5S or longer in the sub scan direction)
Transmitting the FNS signal [1] from the main body, the paper exit roller motor (M7) rotates to drive the paper exit
belt in the stacker section. M7 stops and the paper exit arm moves to the home position for the stapling mode
when the paper exit belt home sensor (PS9) turns ON [3].
The paper exit opening is open if the paper length is longer than B5S in the sub scan direction. The paper exit
motor (M8) closes the paper exit opening when the stapling operation is completed. M7 rotates to drive the
paper exit arm when the paper exit home sensor (PS12) detects the opening is closed [6]. The paper exit arm
lifts up the paper to the paper exit roller, and then the paper exit roller exits the paper to the main tray.
M7 stops when PS9 turns ON [7].

4.3.7 Paper exit opening solenoid control

The paper exit roller is usually releasing the nip except when exiting the paper because its rotation is slower than
FS-520/607
the transfer roller. However, the nip movable section moves to nip the paper when the paper reaches to the
paper exit opening.
A. Paper exit opening solenoid operation

When the paper reaches to the paper exit opening, the paper exit opening solenoid (SD4) [1] moves the nip
movable section [2] to nip the paper by pressurizing the nip roller [4] to the main tray paper exit roller [3] and exit
the paper to the main tray direction [5].
The main tray paper exit sensor (PS6) [6] detects the paper exit.

(2) Stapling mode

The paper exit opening solenoid (SD4) turns ON to nip the paper after a specified period of time since the sta-
pling operation is completed.
C. Timing to turn OFF the paper exit opening solenoid

In all modes, the paper exit opening solenoid (SD4) turns OFF after a specified period of time since the main tray
paper exit sensor (PS6) detects the paper.

4.3.8 Paper exit opening control

In the stapling mode (when the paper length is B5S or longer in the sub scan direction) and the folding/saddle
FS-520/607
stitching/tri-folding mode, the paper exit opening is opened from the beginning of the printing operation to the
end of the stapling operation because the paper protrudes.
A. Paper exit opening/closing operation

The paper exit opening unit [3] opens/closes by the crank mechanism [2] when the paper exit motor (M8) [1]
rotates. The paper exit home sensor (PS12) [4] detects the opening/closing of the paper exit opening.

4.3.9 Sub tray paper exit control

The sub tray paper exit motor (M21) controlled by the FNS control board (FNSCB) drives the sub tray paper exit
FS-520/607
roller.
A. Sub tray paper exit motor (M21) control

The sub tray paper exit motor (M21) rotates in high speed when the sub tray paper exit sensor (PS1) detects the
leading edge of the paper.
M21 rotates in low speed after a specified period of time since the FNS entrance sensor (PS4) detects the trail-
ing edge of the paper. M21 stops after a specified period of time since PS1 detects the trailing edge of the
paper.
B. Sub tray full detection

When the exited paper on the sub tray reached to a specified thickness, the sub tray full sensor (PS19) turns ON
and the sub tray full information is sent to the main body. Then, the main body displays the message on its dis-
play panel.

A. Tray lift operation
The worm gear installed in the shaft of the main tray lift motor (M3) [6] winds up the lift wire.
It lifts up or down the main tray [9] depending on the winding direction. Rotating the lift pulley /Lw clockwise and
counterclockwise in view of front, the main tray is lifted up and down respectively.

B. Paper detection
The main tray upper limit sensor (PS2) [2] and the stapler paper exit upper limit sensor (PS7) [1] keep the speci-
fied distance between the upper surface of the paper exited to the main tray (the upper surface of the main tray
if there is no exited paper) and the paper exit opening to eliminate the misalignment of the exited paper.
During the consecutive printing operation, FS counts the number of exited paper and stops the printing when it
reaches the maximum capacity.
If the exited paper is ejected during the printing operation, the tray moves up and the counter reset sensor
(PS15) [3] turns ON and resets the counter. It makes possible to exit paper with no limitation.
The main tray lower limit sensor (PS3) [4] detects the lower limit of the tray. During the intermittent printing oper-
ation, PS3 controls the capacity of the paper exit because the counter does not integrate the total number of
exited paper.

The main tray lift motor (M3) lifts up and down the main tray by rotating in the forward and reverse direction
FS-520/607
respectively. The FNS control board (FNSCB) controls M3.
(1) Non-sort/sort/group mode

Transmitting the FNS signal from the main body, the tray lift motor (M3) lifts up the tray until the main tray upper
limit sensor (PS2) turns ON.
M3 lifts down the tray when the paper passes the main tray paper exit sensor (PS6). M3 lifts up the tray again
after a specified period of time since the PS2 turns OFF, and then stops when PS2 turns ON.
These operations are repeated for every paper.

B. Alignment control
Transmitting the FNS signal from the main body, the alignment motor /Up (M5) rotates to close the alignment
plate, and then it stops the alignment plate at the standby position that is a little wider than the paper width.
M5 performs the alignment operation by rotating in the forward and reverse direction to move the alignment
plate back and forth after a specified period of time since the stacker entrance sensor (PS5) detects the trailing
edge of the paper. The alignment operation is performed for every paper.

6.3.2 Stopper control

The secured 5 stoppers determine the position where the paper transferred to the stacker stops. When stapling
FS-520/607
at the corner, the 3 stoppers excluding the 2 outside stoppers secured to the stapler unit determine the position
because the stapler moves to the front and rear sides.

6.3.3 Stacker entrance transfer control

The stacker entrance motor (M13) drives the stacker entrance roller, swing belt /Up, and the swing belt /Lw to
FS-520/607
transfer the paper to the stacker, align the trailing edge of the paper, and adjust the staple wait timing.
A. Stacker entrance operation

The downsizing of the device is achieved by adopting the stack method whose incline angle is approximately
70°. The corrugation roller is adopted for the stacker entrance roller [5] to assist the paper exit to the stacker.
After the paper falls to the stacker, the swing belts /Up [7], /Lw [6] and the paper guide (FS-505 only) align the
paper with its trailing edge.
To assist in aligning the curled paper with the trailing edge according to the number of sheets stacked and the
paper size, the paper assist solenoid (SD51) [3] pressurizes the paper while the paper assist motor (M51) [1]
drives the paper assist roller [2].

(1) Stapling mode (the paper size is not A4, B5, or 81/2 x 11, without the bypassing operation)
FS-520/607
Transmitting the FNS signal from the main body [1], the stacker entrance motor (M13) turns ON and rotates in
high speed.
M13 rotates in low speed to transfer the paper in low speed [3] when the stacker entrance sensor (PS5) detects
the trailing edge of the paper. When the paper assist roller is driven, the paper assist motor (M51) and the paper
assist solenoid (SD51) operate to assist the stacking operation. M13 rotates in high speed and stands by for the
subsequent paper after a specified period of time since it rotates in low speed.
After the last paper of the copy passes, M13 stops when the stapling operation is started.
M13 turns ON and rotates in high speed to stand by for the subsequent paper when the paper exit motor (M8)
completes the closing operation.

stops after a specified period of time since the stacker entrance sensor (PS5) detects the trailing edge of the last
paper of the 1st copy [3]. To prevent the paper of the 2nd copy is transferred to the stacker before the stapling
operation for the 1st copy is completed, the 1st paper for the 2nd copy stands by in the bypass path.
The stacker entrance motor (M13) turns ON and rotates in high speed after a specified period of time since the
FNS entrance sensor (PS4) detects the trailing edge of the 2nd paper. Then the 1st and 2nd paper are over-
lapped and transferred to the stacker.

7.3.3 Stopper control

The stopping position in vertical direction of paper conveyed to the stacker is different among the stapling mode,
FS-520/607
the saddle stitching mode, and the folding mode.

2 stoppers (the saddle stitching stopper and the flat-stapling stopper) control the stopping position of paper.
A. Stopper operation
In the stapling mode, the flat-stapling stopper [1] is set on the paper path by the pushing pressure by the spring
[2]. The flat-stapling stopper [1] determines the position of the leading edge of the fallen paper.
In the saddle stitching/folding/tri-folding mode, the flat-stapling release solenoids (SD7 and SD8) turn ON and
evacuate the flat-stapling stopper from the paper path. Then, the paper falls down to the saddle stitching stop-
per [3] without contacting with the flat-stapling stopper.
The saddle stitching stopper motor (M18) [5] moves the saddle stitching stopper up and down in accordance
with the paper size. The saddle stitching stopper home sensor (PS23) [6] detects the home position.

8.3 Operation
FS-520/607
A. Stapler movement operation
Since the stapler /Fr [11] and the stapler /Rr [1] operate symmetrically, the explanation is given of the stapler /Rr
[1].
The stapler movement motor (M11) [9] moves the stapler. When M11 rotates as shown in [10], it drives the sta-
pler drive rack [8] backward with the stapler via the pinion gear [12].
The stapler spring [6] always applies a rotational force to [7] on the stapler. However, the stapler does not rotate
because the height of the stapler guide roller [3] is restricted to the same height as the stapler rotational shaft by
the rack mounting platform [4].
When the stapler moves backward, the guide roller is pressed into the flute [5] on the rack mounting platform
and the stapler rotates as much as the difference to the stapler rotation shaft [2] so that the stapler moves to the
one-corner stapling position.

B. Stapler movement control

(1) Size movement in 1 staple
Transmitting the FNS signal from the main body, the stapler movement motor (M11) turns ON to widen the dis-
tance between the staplers. It stops when they are positioned at the specified positions.
(2) 2 staples
The staplers do not move because the stapling operation is performed at the home position.
57
8.3.2 Stapler control

The stapling operation is performed by the stapler motors /Rr (M9) and /Fr (M14).
FS-520/607
A. Stapling operation
In the stapling operation, the stapler motors /Rr (M9) and /Fr (M14) [3] in the staplers /Rr and /Fr drive the
clincher side [2] to press the paper [1]. Then, the staple is pushed out from the stapler side [4] and bent at the
clincher side.

FS-520/607
After completing the alignment operation of the alignment plate, the stapler motors /Rr (M9) and /Fr (M14) per-
form the stapling operation.
The stapling operation is completed when the stapler motor home sensors /Rr (PS30) and /Fr (PS31) in the sta-
plers /Rr and /Fr detect the home position and turn ON.
(2) Clogged staple detection

During the stapling operation, it is determined that the staple has been clogged and the stapler motors /Rr (M9)
and /Fr (M14) turn OFF if the stapler motor home sensors /Rr (PS30) and /Fr (PS31) do not turn ON after a spec-
ified period of time since they turn OFF.
(3) Cartridge detection

The cartridge set switches /Rr (SW1) and /Fr (SW3) detect the presence of a cartridge or the incorrect setting of
a cartridge.
When no cartridge is set or it is set incorrectly, the main body displays the error message on its display panel.
(4) Staple detection control
When the staples run out, the staple empty switches /Rr (SW2) and /Fr (SW4) turn ON and the main body dis-
plays the error message on its display panel.

FS-520/607
Transmitting the FNS signal from the main body, the stapler movement motor (M11) turns ON to widen the dis-
tance between stapler and clincher. It stops when they are positioned at the specified positions.
M11 turns ON after a specified period of time since the main tray paper exit sensor (PS6) detects the last paper.
M11 stops when the stapler movement home sensor (PS11) turns ON.
(2) Size movement in 1 staple/one-corner stapling at rear

Transmitting the FNS signal from the main body [1], the stapler movement motor (M11) turns ON to widen the
distance between the stapler and the clincher [2]. The stapler rotation motor (M6) and the clincher rotation motor
(M4) turn ON to rotate the stapler /Rr and the clincher /Rr and move them diagonally [3] after a specified period
of time since M11 turns ON.
M4 and M6 turn ON and rotate the stapler /Rr and the clincher /Rr to the home position [5] after a specified
period of time since the trailing edge of the last paper passes the main tray paper exit sensor (PS6). The rota-
tions are stopped when the stapler rotation home sensor (PS13) and the clincher rotation home sensor (PS14)
turn ON. At the same time, M11 turns ON [6], and it stops when the stapler movement home sensor (PS11)
turns ON.

10.3.1 Folding knife control
The folding knife motor drives the folding knife. The folding knife is used in the folding/saddle stitching/tri-folding
mode. In the tri-folding mode, it is used at the 1st folding.
A. Folding knife operation

The folding knife motor (M19) rotates the crank shaft a half turn via the gear and pushes the paper [2] to the nip
section with the folding knife [5].
The folding rollers [4] draw and fold the paper.
The position of the saddle stitching stopper [6] controls the folding position.

10.3.2 Folding transfer control

The folding transfer motor (M20) drives the folding roller. Then, the folding roller drives the tri-folding roller.
FS-520/607
A. Folding transfer control

The folding knife motor (M19) turns ON [2] after a specified period of time since the folding pass-through sensor
(PS26) detects the paper and the saddle stitching stopper stops at the folding position. When M19 turns ON the
folding knife home sensor (PS22), the folding transfer motor (M20) turns ON [3] and drives the folding roller to
perform the 1st folding and the tri-folding roller to perform the 2nd folding at the tri-folding operation, and then it
exits the paper to the booklet tray.
M20 stops after a specified period of time since the folding paper exit sensor (PS25) detects the trailing edge of
the paper bundle.

10.3.3 Tri-folding gate control

The tri-folding gate switches between the folding/saddle stitching path and the tri-folding path. The tri-folding
FS-520/607
gate solenoid (SD6) drives the tri-folding gate.
A. Tri-folding 2nd folding operation

The tri-folding gate solenoid (SD6) [5] drives the tri-folding gate [6] to switch the paper path to the tri-folding path
for leading the paper exited from the folding roller [1] to the tri-folding stopper [4].
To perform the 2nd folding, the loop [2] formed when the paper contacts with the tri-folding stopper are drawn
between the folding roller and the tri-folding roller [3]. Then the paper is exited to the booklet tray [8].
The position of the tri-folding stopper determines the folding position in the 2nd folding.

[1] The screw not allowed to be removed in the folding stopper
Note
• For ease of understand, the position of the folding stopper is shown lower than the actual position
in the illustration.
(2) Reason
The tilt adjustment of the folding stopper should be made at the slide shaft of the folding stopper. (Refer to Field
Service P.476) Never loosen the screw not allowed to be removed in the folding stopper because the tilt of the
folding stopper may be changed and the adjustment reference in the slide shaft may be misaligned if the screw
is loosen.

4.3 Operation
4.3.1 Tray lift mechanism
PI-502
The tray lift motors /Up (M201) [2] and /Lw (M202) [7] move up and down the trays /Up and /Lw by rotating in
the forward and reverse direction to drive the lift arms /Up [10] and /Lw [4] and move up and down the lift plates
/Up [8] and /Lw [6], respectively.
At the upper limit positions, the tray upper limit sensors /Up (PS205) [1] and /Lw (PS209) [3] detect the actuators
lifted up by the lift plates.
At the lower position of the tray, the tray lower limit sensors /Up (PS204) [9] and /Lw (PS210) [5] detect the actu-
ators coupled with the lift arms /Up and /Lw.

The pick-up solenoids /Up (SD201) [2] and /Lw (SD202) turn ON to pick up the paper. The release arm [5] held
upward by the spring [1] lifts up the pick-up roller mounting plate [4] to release the pick-up roller [3]. When
PI-502
SD201 and SD202 turn ON, the release arm moves backward, and then the pick-up roller mounting plate and
the pick-up roller fall down by their own weight. The pick-up roller driven by the transfer motor (M203) presses
the paper and picks it up to transfer it to the separation section.

The separation roller [4] is driven to rotate in the opposite direction from the paper transfer direction [2]. When
transferring no or 1 sheet of paper, the separation roller rotates in the paper transfer direction to transfer the
PI-502
paper to the paper transfer section because the frictional force between the paper feed roller [1] or the paper
and the separation roller [4] is stronger than the frictional force of the torque limiter [3].
When transferring 2 or more sheets of paper, the separation roller rotates in the reverse direction to prevent the
bottom sheet from being transferred because the frictional force between the sheets is stronger than the fric-
tional force of the torque limiter [3].

4.3.4 Registration control

Transmitting the FS start signal [1], the transfer motor (M203) rotates in low speed and the pick-up solenoids /
UP (SD201) and /Lw (SD202) turn ON. At the time, the tray lift motors /Up (M201) and /Lw (M202) rotate in the
PI-502
forward direction to lift up the trays /Up and /Lw.
M201 and M202 stop when the tray upper limit sensors /Up (PS205) and /Lw (PS209) turn ON [2], and after a
specified period of time, the transfer clutch /Up (MC201) and /Lw (MC202) turn ON and the paper is picked up
from the tray. Only 1 sheet of paper is transferred by the transfer roller because of the separation roller.
M203 rotates in high speed when the paper reaches the paper passage sensors /Up (PS201) and /Lw (PS206)
[3]. At the time, the paper is pressed against the transfer roller and forms a loop because the registration clutch
(MC203) is OFF. After a specified period of time, MC203 turns ON [4] and M203 drives the paper to FS.
M203 switches to rotate in low speed to feed the subsequent paper since the paper passed PS201/PS206 [5],
and then MC203 turns OFF after a specified period of time.

4.3 Operation
PK-512/513
4.3.1 Punch standby position movement control

Turning ON the device, the punch shift motor (M302) rotates to move the punch unit [6] to the home position
until the punch shift home sensor (PS303) turns ON.
Selecting the punch mode, M302 rotates to move the punch unit [6] so that the paper size sensor (PS305) [1] of
the punch unit [6] is positioned 5 mm inward [2] from the side edge of the paper.
PS305 consists of 5 sensors. Each sensor detects the following paper.
Sensor Paper size
1 A5S, 51/2 x 81/2S
2 B5S, 16KS
3 A4S, A5, 81/2 x 11S, 81/2 x 14S, 51/2 x 81/2, 81/2 x 13, 81/4 x 13, 81/8 x 131/4, 8 x 13
4 B4, B5, 8K, 16K
5 A3, A4, 11 x 17, 81/2 x 11
* The sensors are numbered 1 to 5 from the front side
And, when the stand-by position is 5 mm for B5 and B4 paper sizes, the corner of the paper passes through
below the punch hole and the stand-by position is changed to 1.5 mm to prevent the hitching of the paper.
The punch unit returns to the home position at the end of the job.

4.3.2 Punch position correction control

For the punch unit positioned from the side edge of the paper to the inside (Refer to "4.3.1 Punch standby posi-
PK-512/513
tion movement control"), the punch position is adjusted in the following procedure so that punching is made
symmetrically to the center of paper at all times. The punch position correction is operated by moving the punch
unit back and forth while conveying the paper.
• When the FNS entrance sensor (PS4) detects the leading edge of the paper, the punch unit [11] is moved to
the rear side until the paper size sensor (PS305) [2] detects the side edge of the paper. If you conduct the
punch operation on the paper conveyed from PI, it is started when the paper entrance sensor /Up (PS201)
or /Lw (PS206) detects the leading edge of the paper.
• Then, the punch unit [11] is moved to the front side until PS305 [2] detects the side edge of the paper (the
side edge reference position detection).
• Once it detects the side edge reference position [3], the punch unit is moved further [11] so that the center
of the punch blade [1] is positioned to the center of the paper [5]. The moving distance and its direction are
depending on the paper size. It is stopped temporarily at the side edge reference position if it is moved to
the rear side.

4.3.3 Punch control

A. Registration loop control
PK-512/513
The FNS conveyance motor (M1) turns OFF temporarily to stop conveyance of paper when the specified time
has passed since paper exit sensor (PS13) detected the leading edge of the paper. Thus the paper is pressed
against the entrance roller forming a loop to correct the bend. When the specified time has passed, M1 turns
ON to restart conveying the paper.
The above operation is not performed when conveying a large paper (220 mm and longer in the sub scan direc-
tion) and in the non-punching mode.
When punching the paper conveyed from PI, the loop is formed on the PI's side. For details, refer to PI-502
SHB.

B. Punch control (PK-512)

The FNS transfer motor (M1) is driven by the main body start signal.
PK-512/513
In the punching mode, the motor M1 stops temporarily after the FNS entrance sensor (PS4) detects the rear edge of paper.
At the same time, the punch motor (M301) [3] rotates in the direction according to the number of punched
holes. Number of punched holes of PK-512 is switched between 2 to 4 and 2 to 3 holes depending on the
country. The motor M301 drives the slide link in the main scanning direction through the eccentric cam. As a
result, the projection of the switching cam is pushed in the slide link moving direction and the switching cam is
rotated around its axis. And then the punching blade [7] lowers to punch a hole. The projection of the punch
blade is fitted into the groove of the switching cam.
Moving distance of the slide link [5] is controlled by detecting the eccentric cam actuator [4] with the punch
home sensor (PS301) [1]. When the actuator rotates 180 degrees, first punching is completed. In the second
punching, M301 is reversed. When the actuator reverses 180 degrees, punching is completed. Forward and
reverse rotations are repeated alternately.
The rotating speed of M301 is controlled by detecting the rotation of the punch encoder plate [6] fixed to the
axis of M301 with the punch encoder sensor (PS306) [2].
Then, M301 reverses and the punch home sensor (PS301) [1] returns to ON and the M301 stops finally.
When a specified time elapsed after M1 stops temporarily, M1 resumes rotating and paper is transferred.

(1) 2 to 3 holes mode

In the 2 to 3 punched hole mode, the groove of the switching cam of the 3-hole punching blade is shaped so
PK-512/513
that the rear side is concentric with the rotating axis and the front side is curved toward the rotating axis. For this
reason, when the switching cam is rotated clockwise, the punching blade is driven downward and when the
cam is rotated counterclockwise, the punching blade is not driven. The shape of the groove of the punching
blade for 2 holes is contrary to it on the right and left sides. When the switching cam is rotated counterclock-
wise, the punching blade is driven.
(2) 2 to 4 holes mode

In the 2 to 4 holes mode, the 2 punching blades at both ends are driven only when the switching cam is rotated
clockwise in the same way as in the 2 to 3 hole mode. As the 2 punching blades at the center should be driven
in both cases of 2 or 4 hole punching, shape of the groove of the switching cam is symmetrical on the right and
left sides and both the front and rear sides are curved in the rotating axis direction.
14
C. Punch control (PK-513)

Transmitting the start signal from the main body, the FNS conveyance motor (M1) rotates.
PK-512/513
In the punch mode, M1 stops temporarily a specified period of time after the FNS entrance sensor (PS4) detects
the trailing edge of the paper.
At the same time, the punch motor (M301) [9] drives the shaft [10] to rotate a full circle. The eccentric cams [2]
rotate in sync with the shaft to move down the punch blade [1] to conduct the punch operation. M301 stops
and the punch operation is completed when the punch home sensor (PS301) [3] turns ON.
M1 rotates again to convey the paper a specified period of time after it stops temporarily.

4.3 Operation
4.3.1 Conveyance path switching control
SD-506
A. Entrance gate solenoid control

The entrance gate switches the path to the horizontal conveyance section and one to the right angle convey-
ance section. The entrance gate solenoid (SD1) switches them. The right angle conveyance path is selected
when SD1 turns OFF and the horizontal conveyance path is selected when it turns ON.
In the coupling exit mode and the subtray exit mode, SD1 turns ON and sets the entrance gate to the horizontal
conveyance section when the main body print signal turns ON. SD1 turns OFF after the paper exit.
B. Horizontal conveyance gate control

The horizontal conveyance gate switches the path to the subtray section and the coupling conveyance path to
the succeeding device. The horizontal conveyance gate solenoid (SD3) switches them. The coupling convey-
ance path is selected when SD3 turns OFF and the subtray path is selected when it turns ON.
4.3.2 Conveyance line speed switch control

The entrance conveyance motor (M1) and the horizontal conveyance motor (M2) convey them.
M1 and M2 turn ON when the main body start signal [1] turns ON. M1 switches its rotational speed in accor-
dance with the main body line speed [3] when the main body exit sensor turns ON [2]. Then it switches its rota-
tional speed to high speed [4] to convey the paper when it receives the paper trailing edge signal (when the
paper trailing edge passes through the fusing).

4.3.3 Subtray paper exit control

When exiting the paper to the subtray, the paper misalignment is prevented by releasing the nipping of the sub-
tray exit roller by the roller release solenoid /4 (SD4) to nip the paper only at the trailing edge and slowing down
SD-506
the paper by the subtray exit roller that is rotating in low speed for every paper. The horizontal conveyance sen-
sor /1 (PS2) [1] and the subtray exit sensor (PS11) [2] detect the paper exited to the subtray.

turns OFF [5] and the subtray exit roller nips at the trailing edge of paper [6] after a specified period of time since
PS2 detects the trailing edge of paper [4]. This control is conducted for every paper exited to the subtray.

The subtray paper full sensor (PS12) detects the subtray paper full via the actuator.
PS12 turns ON under normal circumstances. The subtray paper full condition is detected and the subtray paper
full signal is transmitted to the main body when stacked paper presses the actuator and PS12 turns OFF. Then,
the main body displays the message on its operation panel.

5.3 Operation
5.3.1 Paper overlap control
SD-506
A. Overlap mechanism
When the folding operation is conducted for more than 1 sheet of paper, they are overlapped in the right angle
conveyance section, and then conveyed to the folding section.
The overlap mechanism is the mechanism to overlap the paper in adequate paper conveyance order. The right
angle conveyance gate [1] driven by the right angle conveyance gate solenoid (SD2) [7] and the overlap stopper
[5] driven by the overlap motor (M13) [3] conduct the operation. The overlap home sensor (PS17) [4] detects the
home position of the overlap stopper.
The overlap stopper [5] is positioned at the position where the trailing edge of paper [2] is positioned 20mm under
from the right angle conveyance gate [1] in accordance with the paper size when it stands by for the paper.
When the SD2 is turned off, the paper from the main body is conveyed into between the right-angle conveyance
gate [1] and the overlap assist roller [8]. Then the paper is conveyed further by the overlap assist roller [8] driven
by the entrance conveyance motor (M1) and stopped by the overlap stopper.

21
The first stacked sheet of paper [5] is conveyed while the overlap stopper is located at the standby position [4].
Before conveying the second paper, right angle conveyance gate solenoid (SD2) turns ON to move the right
angle conveyance gate [6] to the right [7]. At the time, overlap motor (M13) moves the overlap stopper30mm
SD-506
upward [3]. It transfers the stacked paper to the left-side of the right angle conveyance gate. The right angle
conveyance gate is replaced [9] to clear the conveyance path. The subsequent paper [8] passes the right side of
the right angle conveyance gate and the paper is overlapped in adequate order. Then, M13 moves the overlap
stopper downward [1].
The same as the second sheet is conducted until all of sheets are stacked.

B. Overlap control
(1) Overlap tri-folding mode control
In the overlap tri-folding mode, up to 5 sheets are stacked in the right angle conveyance section and conveyed
SD-506
to the folding section. The overlap tri-folding is available only with paper of 50g/m2 - 91g/m2 in weight and is
unavailable with others.
The overlap motor (M13) turns ON when the main body start signal [1] turns ON and moves the overlap stopper
upward to its standby position.
Turning ON the right angle conveyance gate solenoid (SD2) [3] after a specified period of time since the entrance
sensor (PS1) detects the trailing edge of the paper, the right angle conveyance gate is switched, M13 moves the
paper upward [4], and isolate the paper from the conveyance gate by transferring it to the left-side of the right
angle conveyance gate. Turning OFF SD2 [5], the conveyance gate opens and waits for the subsequent paper.
Conveying the subsequent paper through the right-side of the right angle conveyance gate [6] and detecting the
trailing edge of paper by the entrance sensor (PS1) [7], M13 descends the overlap stopper down [8]. When the
trailing edge of paper passes under the right angle conveyance gate, SD2 turns ON [9] to switch the right angle
conveyance gate and M13 moves up the overlap stopper [10] to send the conveyed sheets of paper to the left-
side of the right angle conveyance gate. Then, SD2 turns OFF [11] and stands by for the subsequent paper.
The overlap stopper moves down to the standby position and stands by for the 1st paper of the subsequent set
[12] after a specified period of time since PS1 detects the trailing edge of last paper of the set.

(2) Center folding/saddle stitching mode control

In the center folding/saddle stitching mode, 1, 2, or 3 sheets of paper are stacked and conveyed to the folding
section. The number of the stacked sheets is different depending on its paper weight and the conveyance pat-
SD-506
tern.
Normal paper (less than 130g/m2): up to 3 sheets are stacked and conveyed to the folding section.
Thick paper (131g/m2 or more): due to the limit of the folding performance, up to 2 sheets are stacked and con-
veyed to the folding section.
• Normal paper
For the 1st set, 2 sheets of paper are stacked and conveyed to the folding section at first. Similarly, 2 sheets of
paper are stacked and conveyed to the folding section for the subsequent sheets. At the final conveyance, 2
sheets are conveyed (if the total number of the paper is even) or 1 sheet is conveyed (if the number is odd). The
reason why it does not convey 3 sheets at a time for the odd case is because the timing to transmit the informa-
tion such as the page count, the paper type, and so on is too late in printing from PC.
For the 2nd and following set, 3 sheets of paper are stacked and conveyed to the folding section at first to take
adequate time to conduct the folding operation for the preceding set. At the final conveyance, 2 sheets are con-
veyed (if the total number of the paper is odd) or 3 sheets are conveyed (if the number is even).
• Thick paper
Up to 2 sheets of paper can be stacked for the thick paper.
For every set, 2 sheets of paper are stacked and conveyed to the folding section at first. Similarly, 2 sheets of
paper are stacked and conveyed to the folding section for the subsequent sheets. At the final conveyance, 2
sheets are conveyed (if the total number of the paper is even) or 1 sheet is conveyed (if the number is odd).
• Using PI function
The same as the thick paper control is conducted because the paper type information cannot be obtained in the
print job using PI.

A. Alignment mechanism
The alignment is conducted by driving the alignment claws [2] by the right angle conveyance motor (M6) [5]
SD-506
through the belt [3] and the torque limiter [4].
The alignment claws move to the rear of the shelter direction [7] and stops at the mechanical stoppers [1]
through the torque limiter when M6 is rotating toward the paper conveyance direction. Rotating M6 in the
reverse direction, the alignment claws push the edge of paper to conduct the alignment [6].

B. Alignment control
The right angle conveyance motor (M6) rotates in the reverse direction when the main body start signal [1] turns
ON and the alignment claws move to the standby position [2] in accordance with the paper size.
SD-506
No alignment operation is conducted for the 1st paper. M6 rotates in the reverse direction to align paper with the
alignment claws [3] after a specified period of time since the entrance sensor (PS1) detects the trailing edge of
2nd paper. Then, M6 rotates in the forward direction to replace the alignment claws to the standby position [4].
M6 rotates to convey the paper to the folding section [6] and evacuate the alignment claws to the home position
after a specified period of time after the alignment operation [5] for the last paper of the set. After a specified period
of time after the right angle conveyance sensor /2 (PS6) detects the leading edge of paper, M6 rotates in the
reverse direction to move the alignment claws to the standby position [7] for the subsequent copy.

5.3.3 Right angle conveyance control

A. Right angle conveyance mechanism
In the right angle conveyance, the right angle conveyance motor (M6) and the roller release solenoids /1 (SD5)
SD-506
[5] and /2 (SD6) [10] convey the paper.
When conveying the paper to the overlap section, the paper falls vertically [6] to the overlap stopper [7] by its
own weight after conveyed by the overlap assist roller. At the time, the press by the right angle conveyance roller
/1 [3] is released by default since the conveyance direction is not the rotational direction of the right angle con-
veyance roller /1 [3] but the axial direction of the right angle conveyance roller /1.
After stacking and aligning the specified number of papers, the roller release solenoid /1 (SD5) [5] turns ON to
nip the paper and convey the paper to the position rotated 90° from the right side to the front side [8]. The roller
release solenoid /3 (SD7) [14] is OFF to release the pressure of the folding entrance roller by default since the
upper edge of the paper [1] passes over the folding entrance roller [13].
When conveying the paper from the right angle conveyance section to the folding section [12], the roller release
solenoid /2 (SD6) [10] turns ON to release the pressure of the right angle conveyance roller /4 [9] and convey the
paper to the folding section by nipping the paper with the folding entrance roller [13].

B. Conveyance control
The roller release solenoid /1 (SD5) turns ON to press the right angle conveyance roller /[1 [2] after a specified
period of time since the entrance sensor (PS1) detects the trailing edge of last paper of the set [/1]. After the
SD-506
alignment operation [3], the right angle conveyance motor (M6) rotates in the forward direction to convey the
paper to the front side [4] by rotating 90°. At this time, the roller release solenoid (SD7) turns OFF a specified
period of time after the entrance sensor (PS1) detects the trailing edge of paper and releases the pressure of the
folding entrance roller /1 [5].
A specified period of time after the right angle conveyance sensor /2 (PS6) detects the leading edge of paper,
SD7 turns ON to pressure the folding entrance roller /1 and nip [6] the upper section of paper that has been
conveyed to the front side. Also, a specified period of time after that, when the roller release solenoid /2 (SD6)
turns ON to release the right angle conveyance roller /4 [7] and convey the paper to the folding section.

6.3 Operation
6.3.1 Folding entrance conveyance control
SD-506
A. Mechanism
The folding entrance motor (M3) and the roller release solenoid /3 (SD7) [5] conduct the folding entrance con-
veyance operation.
The paper [1] conveyed from the right angle conveyance section is conveyed to the folding entrance with the
pressure of the folding entrance roller /1 [7] released. Once the right angle conveyance is completed, SD7 [5]
turns ON to pressure the nipping of the folding entrance roller /1 and the roller release solenoid /2 (SD6) [3] turns
ON to release the right angle conveyance roller /4, M3 convey the paper to the folding section.
The folding entrance sensor (PS60) [6] detects the paper at the folding entrance.

B. Control
The roller release solenoid /3 (SD7) turns ON to nip the paper with the folding entrance roller [2] after a specified
period of time since the right angle conveyance sensor /2 (PS6) detects the leading edge of paper [1], and then
SD-506
the roller release solenoid /2 (SD6) turns ON to release the nip of the right angle conveyance roller /4 [3] after a
specified period of time. Then the folding entrance motor (M3) turns ON and conveys the paper to the folding
section [4].
At the time, the folding conveyance motor (M4) rotates in the reverse direction [5] to prevent the paper from
being caught between the folding rollers /1 and /2.
SD7 turns OFF to release the pressure of the folding entrance roller [7] after a specified period of time since the
entrance sensor (PS1) detects the trailing edge of last paper of the subsequent set [6] and it stands by for the
paper of the subsequent set being conveyed to the front side of the right angle conveyance section.

6.3.2 Folding main scan alignment control

A. Mechanism
In the folding main scan alignment, the alignment stoppers /Rr [5] driven by the folding main scan alignment
SD-506
motor /Rr (M14) stop at the appropriate position in accordance with the paper size, and then the alignment
claws /Fr [2] driven by the folding main scan alignment motor /Fr (M7) conduct the alignment operation. The
folding main scan alignment home sensors /Fr1 (PS18) [8] detects the home position of the alignment claws /Fr
and /Fr2 (PS49) [7] and The folding main scan alignment home sensor /Rr (PS19) [4] detects the home position
of the alignment tab /Rr.
The alignment claws /Fr [2] convey [6] the paper by pushing its trailing edge once the paper passes the folding
entrance roller /3 [3] and until the leading edge of paper contacts with the alignment stopper /Rr [5] because
there is no conveyance roller between the folding entrance conveyance roller /3 and the alignment stopper /Rr.

B. Control
The folding main scan alignment motor /Rr (M14) drives the alignment stoppers /Rr to the appropriate position in
accordance with the paper size [2] when the main body start signal [1] turns ON.
SD-506
The folding main scan alignment motor /Fr (M7) rotates in the forward direction to let [3] the alignment claws /Fr
push the trailing edge of paper for conveyance after a specified period of time since the folding entrance sensor
(PS60) detects the trailing edge of paper, and then M7 stops after a specified period of time [4]. The alignment
stoppers /Rr push the leading edge of paper to conduct the alignment. M7 rotates in the reverse direction [5],
and after a specified period of time it rotates in the forward direction to conduct the alignment again [6].
M7 rotates in the reverse direction to replace the alignment claws to the home position [7] when the 1st folding
blade home sensor /1 (PS20) detects the completion of the folding operation. M7 starts rotating to replace the
alignment claws to the home position for subsequent set when PS21 detects the completion of the folding oper-
ation since the 1st folding blade conducts the reciprocal operation in which the 1st folding blade home sensor /
1 (PS20) and the 1st folding blade home sensor /2 (PS21) counter changes their positions at each folding oper-
ation. M7 stops rotating when the folding main scan alignment home sensor /Fr1 (PS18) detects the home posi-
tion of the alignment claws.
Transmitting the print termination signal from SD, M14 rotates to move the alignment stoppers to the home posi-
tion [8]. It stops rotating when the folding main scan alignment home sensor /Rr (PS19) detects the home posi-
tion of the alignment stoppers.

6.3.3 Folding control

A. Mechanism
Folding has the 1st folding and 2nd folding.
SD-506
The 1st folding is conducted in the overlap tri-folding mode, the overlap tri-folding mode, and the saddle stitching mode.
The 2nd folding is conducted only in the multi letter folding mode. In the 1st folding operation, the 1st folding
blade [7] pushes and inserts the paper between the folding rollers /1 [8] and /2 [3].
The folding rollers /1 and /2 are pressured each other by the spring [2]. The 1st blade motor (M18) [4] drives the
1st folding blade via the crank mechanism [5].
In the 2nd folding operation, as well, the 2nd folding blade [14] pushes and inserts the paper between the fold-
ing rollers /2 [3] and /3 [15]. The 2nd folding operation has an adjustable stopper [12] which defines the fold from
the 1st folding and accurizes the 2nd folding position.
The folding rollers /2 and /3 are pressured each other by the spring [16]. The 2st blade motor (M19) [10] drives
the 2st folding blade via the crank mechanism [11].
The folding sensor /2 (PS44)[9], the folding sensor /1 (PS7) [1], and the folding passage sensor (PS8) [13] detect
the paper.

B. Tri-folding control
(1) Operation
After the initial operation, the 1st folding blade [8] is at the standby position /1 [5]. In the actuator [7], the 1st fold-
SD-506
ing blade home sensor /2 (PS21) [3] turns ON and the 1st folding blade home sensor /1 (PS20) [6] turns OFF.
When the paper [9] is conveyed to the folding section and the 1st folding blade motor (M18) is rotated [2], the
crank [4] rotates 90° to project the 1st folding blade to the paper and push the paper [12] between the folding
roller /1 [10] and /2 [11] with its edge. At the time, the actuator also rotates 90° so that PS21 [3] turns OFF and
PS20 [6] turns ON.
M18 keeps rotating in the same direction [13], and then the crank [4] stops when it reaches at the standby posi-
tion /2 [1] (PS20 turns OFF) where is 180° opposite from the standby position /1. In the 1st folding operation for
the subsequent set, M18 rotates in the reverse direction [14] and the crank [4] also rotates 180° in the reverse
direction to conduct the 1st folding operation.
The 2nd folding operation is operated as in the 1st folding operation.

(2) Control
When the folding main scan alignment motor /Fr (M7) stops rotating at the completion of the paper alignment
operation, the 1st folding blade motor (M18) turns ON and starts rotating in the reverse direction. The 1st folding
SD-506
blade folds and inserts the paper between the folding rollers /1 and /2. When the 1st folding blade home sensor
/1 (PS20) turns ON, the folding conveyance motor (M4) turns ON to conduct the 1st folding [2]. M18 stops when
PS20 turns OFF [3]. Then, M4 turns OFF and the 1st folding operation is completed [4] after a specified period
of time since the folding passage sensor (PS8) detects the leading edge of paper.
After a specified period of time since PS8 turns ON, the 2nd folding blade motor (M19) turns ON and rotates in
the reverse direction to start the 2nd folding operation. When the 2nd folding blade home sensor /1 (PS22) turns
ON, M4 rotates in high speed to perform the 2nd folding, and then the tri-folded paper is conveyed to the tri-
folding exit. M19 stops when PS22 turns OFF.
In the 1st folding operation for the subsequent set, M18 rotates in the forward direction to conduct the 1st fold-
ing [7] and stops rotating when the 1st folding blade home sensor /2 (PS21) turns ON [8]. In the 2nd folding
operation, M19 rotates in the forward direction to conduct the 2nd folding [9] and stops rotating when the 2nd
folding blade home sensor /2 (PS23) turns ON [10].

C. Tri-folding exit control

(1) Operation
In the multi letter folding exit, the driving force of the folding conveyance motor (M4) is transmitted via the tri-fold-
SD-506
ing exit clutch (CL1).
CL1 turns ON and the exit belt [4] is driven approximately 7mm to convey the paper to the front side for every
paper exit.
The tri-folding paper full sensor (PS10) [3] detects the paper when it is reached at the front, and then the main
body displays the message on its operation panel.

D. Center folding control

When the folding main scan alignment motor /Fr (M7) stops at the completion of the paper alignment operation,
the 1st folding blade motor (M18) turns ON and rotates in the reverse direction [2] to let the 1st folding blade
SD-506
insert the paper between the folding rollers /1 and /2. When the 1st folding blade home sensor /1 (PS20) turns
ON, the folding conveyance motor (M4) rotates in the reverse direction to rotate the folding rollers /1 and /2 in
the reverse direction to release the paper. When PS20 turns OFF, M18 and M4 stop rotating [3].
In the folding operation for the subsequent set, M18 rotates in the forward direction [4] and it stops when the 1st
folding blade home sensor /2 (PS21) turns ON [5].

6.3.4 Folding sub scan alignment control

A. Mechanism
The folding sub scan alignment operation is conducted in the multi letter folding mode and is conducted with the
SD-506
folding exit claws [13] and the folding alignment stoppers /Rt [3] driven by the folding sub scan alignment exit
motor (M8) [8].
The folding exit claws move to the right [14] and the folding alignment stoppers /Rt move to the left [2] when M8
rotates in the reverse direction [9]. The folding alignment stoppers /Rt are contacted with the alignment stopper
[1] and stopped by the torque limiter [7]. The folding exit claws move to the positions for the paper width of A4S
or 8.5 x 11S and conduct the folding sub scan alignment operation, and then the folding is conducted.
In the multi center folding mode and the saddle stitching mode, M8 rotates in the forward direction to move the
folding exit claws to the left [11] after the folding operation. Once the folding exit claws make a round, they con-
duct the paper exit operation to the saddle stitching section. At the time, the folding alignment stoppers /Rt
moving to the right [4] are contacted with the alignment stopper [5] and stopped by the torque limiter [7].
The folding sub scan alignment home sensor (PS56) [12] detects the home position of the folding exit claws in
the alignment operation. The folding exit home sensor (PS24) [6] detects the initial position and the center fold-
ing exit operation.

B. Folding sub scan alignment control

The folding sub scan alignment exit motor (M8) rotates in the reverse direction to conduct the alignment opera-
tion in the sub scan direction [/2] after a specified period of time since the right angle conveyance sensor /2
SD-506
(PS6) detects the trailing edge of paper and the alignment operation in the main scan direction is conducted [1].
When the folding sub scan alignment home sensor (PS56) detects the folding exit claws, M8 conducts the align-
ment by pressing the side of the paper, and then it stops [3]
The M8 conducts the shelter operation and stops [4] after a specified period of time since PS6 detects the trailing edge of paper.

The folding sub scan alignment exit motor (M8) does not conduct the alignment operation in the sub scan direc-
tion in the multi center folding/saddle stitching mode.
It conducts the operation only when it exits the paper to the saddle stitching section. M8 drives the folding exit
claws to conduct the paper exit operation [2] to the saddle stitching section after a specified period of time since
the folding main scan alignment motor /Fr (M7) completes the realignment operation in the main scan direction
[1] (after the center folding operation). After a specified period of time since the folding sensor /2 (PS44) detects
the trailing edge of paper, M8 rotates in low speed [3] and conduct the home position search operation, and
then it stops [4] when the folding exit home sensor (PS24) turns ON.

6.3.5 Guide shaft control

A. Mechanism
The guide shaft [2] holds the fold line [4] from the bottom and makes certain of the stack [3] in the saddle stitch-
SD-506
ing section when the folding exit claws [7] exit the folded paper [1] to the saddle stitching section.
The guide shaft is projected [5] in sync with the paper exit only when the first folded paper for each set is exited
and put away immediately to the folding section [6]. In the subsequent paper exit, the guide shaft does not oper-
ate because the paper [3] stacked in the saddle stitching section works as the guide.

the folding main scan alignment motor /Fr (M7) completes the realignment operation in the main scan direction
SD-506
[1] (after the folding operation). The guide shaft conducting the back and forth operation by the belt rotation
stops when the guide shaft home sensor (PS46) turns ON [3].

C. Folding unit lock control

During the print operation, the folding unit lock solenoid (SD8) locks the folding unit to prevent the guide shaft or
the folding exit claws from damage due to pulling out the folding unit by mistake.
When the paper gets jammed, the positions of the guide shaft and the folding exit claws are monitored. SD8
turns OFF and releases the lock only when both the folding exit home sensor (PS24) and the guide shaft home
sensor (PS46) detect the home position.

7.3 Operation
7.3.1 Saddle stitching alignment control
SD-506
A. Mechanism
In the saddle stitching alignment, the saddle stitching alignment plates /Lt [2] and /Rt [8] align the center folded
paper [5] in the sub scan direction.
The saddle stitching alignment motor /Lt (M16) [3] drives the saddle stitching alignment plate /Lt [2] in the sub
scan direction via the belt by rotating in the forward and reverse directions. The saddle stitching alignment plate
/Lt moves to the position for the appropriate paper size when the main body start signal turns ON, and it does
not move during the print operation. It return to the position at the saddle stitching alignment home sensor /Lt
(PS29) [4] after the print operation.
The saddle stitching alignment motor /Rt (M9) [7] drives the saddle stitching alignment plate /Rt [8] in the sub
scan direction via the belt by rotating in the forward and reverse directions. The alignment operation is con-
ducted by M9 by rotating in the forward/reverse directions every time the center folded paper is conveyed. It
return to the position at the saddle stitching alignment home sensor /Rt (PS28) [6] after the print operation.

B. Control
The saddle stitching alignment motor /Lt (M16) rotates in the reverse direction when the main body start signal
[1] turns ON and the saddle stitching alignment plate /Lt moves to the position for the appropriate paper size [2].
SD-506
The saddle stitching alignment motor /Rt (M9) rotates in the forward direction and the saddle stitching alignment
plate /Rt conducts the preliminary alignment operation [4] when the folding sensor /2 (PS44) at the exit of the
folding section detects the trailing edge of the paper [3]. Then, M9 rotates in the forward direction to conduct the
alignment operation [5] when the paper is stacked at the stapler position. After a specified period of time, M9
rotates in the reverse direction to go back the saddle stitching alignment plate to its home position and stands
by for the subsequent set [6].
For the last paper of the set [7], M9 rotates in the reverse direction to go back the saddle stitching alignment
plate to its home position when the saddle stitching press motor (M21) [8] is completed with holding the paper.

7.3.2 Stapler/clincher movement control

A. Mechanism
The staplers/clinchers move to the stapling position in accordance with the paper size.
SD-506
The stapling position is different for every paper size to make the stapling distance half of the paper size.
The staplers /Rt [10] and /Lt [8] are fixed to the belt /Up [9] and the clinchers /Rt [2] and /Lt [4] to the belt /Lw [1].
They are moved in the sub scan direction by the stapler movement motor (M15) [5] via the connecting shaft [6].
To prevent the tooth skipping of the belts /Up and /Lw at the maintenance, the gear-shaped rotating knob [7] is
provided on the connecting shaft [6]. Rotating the knob, you can manually move the staplers /Rt and /Lt and the
clinchers /Rt and /Lt simultaneously.

and moves the staplers and the clinchers to the position for the appropriate paper size.
They go back to their home position at the end of the printing operation.

7.3.3 Saddle stitching hold control

A. Mechanism
The saddle stitching hold is the mechanism to prevent the paper misalignment at stapling. The saddle stitching
SD-506
hold /Up [1] moves down to the saddle stitching hold /Lw [2] at its lower position and hold the center folded
paper [3] at the fold line from both up and down.
The eccentric cam [5] moves the saddle stitching hold /Up [1] up and down via the arm [6].

The spring [3] enforces the saddle stitching hold /Up [6] toward the saddle stitching hold /Lw [5]. When the sad-
dle stitching press motor (M21) rotates the eccentric cam [2] via the gear [1], the arm [4] moves along with the
shape of the eccentric cam and the spring [3] lowers the saddle stitching hold /Up.
SD-506
The saddle stitching hold /Up [6] holding the center folded paper at its lower position is pushed up to its upper
position by the saddle stitching hold /Lw [5] during the stapling operation. This allows the paper to be moved
from the lower position to the upper position without any misalignment.
The saddle stitching press home sensor (PS27) [8] detects the home position of the eccentric cam.

the clincher up down motor (M20) starts rotating and the saddle stitching hold /Up is pushed up by the saddle
stitching hold /Lw while holding the paper [3]. M20 rotates in the reverse direction and lowers the saddle stitch-
ing hold /Lw [5] when the clinching operation [4] is started. Also the spring lowers The saddle stitching hold /Up.
M21 turns ON and go back the saddle stitching hold /Up to its standby position [6] after a specified period of
time since the clinching operation is started.

7.3.4 Clincher up down control

A. Mechanism
The clincher shelters at the lower position to obtain space between the stapler and the clincher when the paper
SD-506
is conveyed between them.

After the alignment operation, the saddle stitching hold /Up [7] moves down and holds the center folded paper
[6]. Then the eccentric cam [5] drives the saddle stitching hold /Lw [2] and the clincher [3] to push up the saddle
stitching hold /Up [7] to the position where the stapler [1] is positioned while holding the center folded paper.

SD-506
rotates the eccentric cam [3]. The paper between the clincher and the staplers held securely by the spring [6].
Once the stapling operation is completed, M20 rotates in the reverse direction to go back the eccentric cam,
and then the clincher moves down by its own weight.

down motor (M20) rotates in the forward direction to move up the clinchers /Rt and /Lt and the saddle stitching
hold /Lw [2]. M20 is stopped when the clincher up down home sensor (PS26) turns ON.
M20 rotates in the reverse direction to move down the clinchers /Rt and /Lt and the saddle stitching hold /Lw
when the clincher solenoids /Rt (SD9) and /Lt (SD10) starts the clinching operation [4]. They are stopped at the
lower position [5] when PS26 turns OFF.

A. Mechanism
The stapler motors /Rt (M29) and /Lt (M30) [10] and the clincher solenoids /Rt (SD9) and /Lt (SD10) [5] operate
SD-506
the stapler operation.
The stapler home sensors /Rt (HS1) and /Lt (HS3) [8] and the clincher start sensors /Rt (HS2) and /Lt (HS4) [11]
detect the stapler operation. HS1, HS2, HS3, and HS4 are hall element sensors and control the position of the
magnet [12] of the rotating eccentric cam [9].
M29 and M30 [10] drive the staple bending arm [3] and the stapling arm [2] via the eccentric cam [9]. The staple
bending arm bends the rolled staple [6] into the U-shape and the stapling arm staples it toward the clincher.
Then the SD9 and SD10 bend the staple by driving the clincher plate [4]. The stapling operation is completed
with these operations.
The staple empty switches /Rt (SW1) and /Lt (SW2) [7] detect whether the staple or cartridge is set or not.

7.3.6 Bundle arm control

The bundle arm [4] rotates and moves in the sub scan direction.
It rotates to convey the paper from the stapling section to the bundle clip section and moves in the sub scan
SD-506
direction to catch/release the paper.
In the multi center folding mode, the bundle arm rotates to the stapling position after the last paper of the set is
conveyed. In the saddle stitching mode, it rotates after the stapling operation.
By moving the bundle arm, the tip of the bundle arm is inserted under the fold line of the paper and the paper is
caught [1].
The caught paper is conveyed to the bundle clip section [2] by the rotation of the bundle arm. The bundle arm
moves in the outside of the sub scan direction and releases the paper [3] when the bundle clip holds the paper
at the folding side.

The bundle arm rotation motor (M22) [2] drives the bundle arm [8] via the belt, slide guide [5], and guide shaft [6].
When M22 drives the slide guide [5] in the main scan direction, the guide shaft [6] passing through the long hole
SD-506
of the slide guide is rotated, and then the bundle arm [8] is rotated around the fulcrum. When it is driven to the
paper [3] side, M22 stops where the ring [7] is contacted with the guide plate [4].
The bundle arm rotation home sensor (PS31) [9] detects the home position of the bundle arm.

C. Bundle arm control

The bundle arm motor (M10) rotates in the reverse direction when the main body start signal [1] turns ON and
moves the bundle arm to the appropriate position in accordance with the paper size.
SD-506
The bundle arm rotation motor (M22) rotates in the forward direction to rotate the bundle arm to the stapling section
[3] after a specified period of time since the folding sensor //2 (PS44) detects the trailing edge of paper of the last set.
It stops the bundle arm in an upright position [4] when the bundle arm rotation home sensor (PS31) turns OFF.
Then, M22 rotates again [5] to drive the bundle arm until it is contacted with the guide plate on the stapling section [6]. The
timing for M22 to restart the rotation [5] is different between in the multi center folding mode and in the saddle stitching mode.
• Multi center folding mode: When the saddle stitching press home sensor (PS27) detects the saddle stitch-
ing hold /Up has been moved to its upper position.
• Saddle stitching mode: After a specified period of time since the clincher up down home sensor (PS26)
detects that the clinchers are contacted with the staplers.
M10 inserts the tip of the bundle arm under the fold line of the paper [7] when the bundle arm assist motor (M26) starts the
assisting operation by pushing up the trailing edge of paper at the back side and M10 stops after a specified period of time [8].
M22 rotates in the reverse direction to convey the paper to the bundle clip section when M10 stops [8]. It stops
after a specified period of time since PS31 turns ON.
M10 rotates in the forward direction to pull out the bundle arm from the paper and take shelter it from the con-
veyance path [11] after a specified period of time since the bundle clip starts to catch the paper [10]. M10 stops
when the bundle arm home sensor (PS32) turns ON [12].
M10 rotates in the reverse direction to go back the bundle arm to its standby position [13] for the subsequent
set after a specified period of time since it stops.

7.3.7 Bundle arm assist control

A. Mechanism
The bundle arm assist mechanism is the mechanism to assist the paper conveyance of the bundle arm rotation
SD-506
drive to be conducted without fault. It pushes up the fore edge side of the paper [6] with the bundle arm assist
plate [4] to tilt it to the front.
The bundle arm assist motor (M26) [2] drives the bundle arm plate [4] via the belt.
The bundle arm assist upper limit sensor (PS39) [1] detects the upper home position and the bundle arm assist
home sensor (PS38) [3] detects the lower home position.
The bundle arm assist plate [4] waits at the position5mm below the fore edge side of the paper during standby.
To keep the error to a minimum, the small-size paper (less than 314mm) and the large-size paper (314mm or
more) are moved to the standby position from the position of PS39 and PS38 respectively since the driving time
of M26 (DC brush motor) positions the standby position for the paper.
In the bundle arm assist operation, the fore edge side of the paper is pushed up 35mm (or until PS39 turns ON).

(1) Small-size paper (less than 314mm)
For the small-size paper, the bundle arm assist motor (M26) rotates in the forward direction when the main body
SD-506
start signal [1] turns ON to drive the bundle arm assist plate at the home position to the position at the bundle
arm assist upper limit sensor (PS39) [2]. After a specified period of time, M26 rotates in the reverse direction to
drive the bundle arm assist plate from the upper limit position to the standby position in accordance with the
paper size [3] and stands by for the paper.
Then, M26 rotates in the forward direction to push up the fore edge side of the paper [6] for assisting the bundle
arm to be inserted under the fold line of the paper. The operation timing [6] of M26 is different between in the
multi center folding mode and in the saddle stitching mode.
• Multi center folding mode: When the bundle arm is contacted with the guide plate of the stapler section [4]
by the bundle arm rotation motor (M22).
• Saddle stitching mode: When the clincher moves downward [5] at the end of the stapling operation.
M26 rotates in the forward direction to assist the bundle arm to convey the paper [7] after a specified period.
Then the bundle arm assist plate goes back to the standby position and stands by for the subsequent set [8].

The bundle clip is the mechanism to hold the paper that the bundle arm conveyed to the slope and convey the
SD-506
paper to the bundle press stage with its fore edge side to the trimmer section.
The bundle clip catches, releases, and conveys the paper. It catches the paper at the upper limit position [1],
conveys it [2], and then release it at the lower limit position [3].

The bundle clip motor (M11) [5] drives the bundle clip [1] up [8] and down [7] via the gear and belt.
The spring [9] provides the bundle clip the force to catch the paper, and the wire [2] and the winding shaft [3]
open the bundle clip to release the paper.
SD-506
The bundle clip upper limit sensor (PS33) [4] detects the upper limit of the bundle clip and the bundle clip lower
limit sensor (PS30) [6] detects the lower limit.

The bundle clip is closed all the time except when it is located at the upper and lower limit position. When the
bundle clip moves up [1], the release roller /Up [6] gets onto [7] the release plate /Up [8]. Then the wire winding
shaft [4] rotates [3] and takes up the wire [5] to open the bundle clip.
SD-506
In the same way, when the bundle clip moves down [2], the release roller /Lw [10] gets onto [12] the release
plate /Lw [11] and then the wire winding shaft [4] rotates [9] and takes up the wire [5] to open the bundle clip.

B. Control
The bundle clip motor (M11) rotates in the forward direction to move up the bundle clip until the bundle clip
upper limit sensor (PS33) turns ON [2] after a specified period of time since the bundle assist motor (M26) starts
SD-506
the assisting operation [1]. Then, the bundle clip stops with its clip opened.
The bundle arm conveys the paper from the stapling section to the bundle clip section, and then the bundle arm
rotation motor (M22) stops [3]. After a specified period of time, M11 rotates in the reverse direction to move
down the bundle clip and close the bundle clip to catch the paper, and then M11 stops after a specified period
of time [4]
When the bundle arm motor (M10) completes the shelter operation [5], M11 rotates in the reverse direction to
move down the bundle clip [6]. The bundle clip opens the clip to release the paper [7] and M11 stops when the
bundle clip lower limit sensor (PS30) turns ON.
M11 rotates in the forward direction to move up the bundle clip after a specified period of time since M11 stops.
Then, M11 stops to move the bundle clip at the standby position for the subsequent set after a specified period
of time since PS30 turns OFF [8].

8.3 Operation
8.3.1 Bundle press stage up down control
SD-506
The bundle press stage conducts the up and down operation to convey and exit the paper by the switch back method.
The bundle press stage is moved up [7] to decrease the angle difference when receiving the paper [8] conveyed
by the bundle clip from the slope [1]. The bundle press stage exits the paper [5] to the bundle exit tray at the hor-
izontal position [4] at the paper exit.
The bundle registration plate [6] and the bundle exit auxiliary roller [3] move up and down together with the up
and down operation of the bundle press stage.

A. Mechanism
The bundle press stage up down motor (M24) [12] rotates the wire winding shaft [14] and winds up the lift wire
[3]. During the initial phase, the wire is tightened and the wire arm [4] comes to the horizontal position but the
SD-506
bundle press stage [5] does not move up. At the time, as the wire arm comes horizontal, the bundle registration
plate wire [2] is loosened and the bundle registration plate [1] moves down and works as the stopper against the
registration operation.
Then, the bundle press stage moves up as the wire winding shaft [14] rotates and winds up the up down wire [3]
and it stops when the bundle press stage up down limit sensor (PS45) [11] turns ON.
The bundle registration plate home sensor (PS15) [35] detects the home positions (shelter position) for the bun-
dle registration plate, and the bundle press stage up down home sensor (PS1) [0] detects the bundle press
stage.
The over-winding-prevention stopper [13] prevents the over winding since you can move up and down the bun-
dle press stage manually by rotating the knob [9].

8.3.2 Bundle press movement control

The bundle press movement is the mechanism to convey the paper to the trimmer section by pressing the
paper with the press section to prevent the trimming skew at the trimmer operation after the paper registration
SD-506
operation.
A. Mechanism
The bundle press movement motor (M17) drives the bundle press section [9] in the main scan direction.
When receiving the paper with the bundle press stage [2], the bundle press section [9] moves 100mm backward
from the home position to obtain the paper conveyance path.
When conducting the bundle registration operation, the bundle press section moves to the appropriate position
in accordance with the paper size.
The bundle press movement home sensor (PS36) [3] detects the home position of the bundle press section.
When the bundle press section moves to the home position, the metal plate [7] gets down the actuator [6] for
the trimmer registration sensor (PS55) [8] and obtains the paper conveyance path.
The bundle sensor /4 (PS54) [10] is for the paper jam detection.

press standby position in accordance with the paper size [3].
M17 rotates in the reverse direction and searches for the press position [6] for the paper when the bundle press
stage up down home sensor (PS35) detects that the bundle press stage has been moved down [5]. M17 stops
the bundle press section at the appropriate position in accordance with the paper size [7] after a specified period
of time since the trimmer registration sensor (PS55) turns OFF.
M17 searches the home position [8] and then moves the bundle press section to the paper trimming position [9]
after a specified period of time since the bundle press motor (M23) completes the paper press operation.
The bundle press section is returned to the home position [10] after a specified period of time since the trimming
operation is completed.

8.3.3 Bundle press control

The bundle press is the mechanism to hold the paper during trim operation to prevent the trimming skew after
the paper registration operation.
SD-506
A. Mechanism
The bundle press plates /Up [1] and /Lw [15] hold the paper. The bundle press plate /Up is pulled to the bundle press
plate /Lw [15] (to the direction to hold and press the paper) by the spring [13] via the press wires /Rt [2] and /Lt [12]. The
bundle press plate /UP [1] moves down with the force of the spring [13] when the bundle press motor (M23) [5] rotates
the wire winding shaft [4] and releases the release wires /Rt [3] and /Lt [6]. The force of the spring presses the paper.
When M23 keeps rotating, the press wire /Lt [6] is loosened and the bundle press lower limit sensor (PS47) [8]
turns OFF by the actuator [9] due to the spring [10], and then the paper press position is detected.
The wire winding shaft [4] winds the release wires /Rt [3] and /Lt [6] to move up the bundle press plate /Up [1] for
releasing the press the paper [16] when M23 rotates in reverse.
The bundle press home sensor (PS37) [11] detects the home position of the bundle press plate /Up [1].

8.3.4 Bundle registration control

The paper registration operation reforms the skew at trimming.
SD-506
A. Mechanism
The bundle registration motor (M12) drives the registration claws [4].
2 registration claws [4] conduct the registration by making the paper [14] contact [3] with the bundle registration
plate [13] from the gutter side.
In the registration operation, the bundle press section [7] conducts the pressing by moving to the appropriate
position in accordance with the paper size. To conduct the bundle registration, the registration claws [4] press
the paper until the actuator [2] on the bundle press section comes in the upright position and the trimmer regis-
tration sensor (PS55) [1] turns ON.
The bundle exit claws [9] are located at the 180° opposite to the registration claws on the belt. M12 rotates in
the reverse direction [10] to exit the paper at the paper exit.
The home position of the registration claws [4] is detected when the registration claws push the actuator [11]
and turns ON the bundle registration home sensor (PS34) [12].

The bundle registration motor (M12) rotates in the reverse direction to conduct the paper conveyance assisting
operation [4] and the pre-registration operation [5] after a specified period of time since the bundle clip motor
(M11) starts conveying the paper [3]. Then M12 stops when the registration claws reach at the specified posi-
tion.
M12 rotates in the reverse direction and conducts the registration operation [7] with the registration claws when
the bundle press motor (M23) completes the press releasing operation [6]. The registration claws stop when the
trimmer registration sensor (PS55) turns ON [8].
M12 rotates in the forward direction to move the registration claws to the specified shelter position [10] when
M23 completes the press operation [9].
M12 rotates in the forward direction to let the bundle exit claws push the paper to conduct the paper exit oper-
ation [12] after a specified period of time since the trimmer blade motor (M31) completes the trimming operation
[11]. M12 stops when the bundle registration home sensor (PS34) turns ON [13]. M12 rotates in the reverse

8.3.5 Bundle exit control

A. Mechanism
(1) Bundle exit mechanism
SD-506
The paper is exited to the bundle exit tray [12].
The paper exited to the bundle exit tray is conveyed to the front by the bundle exit conveyance belt [1] and
stacked.
The bundle exit motor (M5) [5] drives the bundle exit conveyance belt [1] via the bundle exit drive belt [4] and the
bundle exit belt drive shaft [3].
M5 drives the bundle exit conveyance belt for a specified period of time to convey the paper to the front [13] for
every paper exit. The bundle exit tray is expandable.
The bundle tray set sensor (PS58) [9] detects whether the bundle exit tray is stored or not.
M5 also drives the scrap press plate [11]. In each drive path from M5 to the bundle exit drive belt and the scraps
press plate, there is a one-way clutch respectively that switches the rotational direction of M5. Therefore, the
bundle exit drive and the scraps press plate are not driven simultaneously.

(3) Trimmer scraps press mechanism

Trimmer scraps press is executed by driving the bundle exit motor (M5). The M5 motor drives the pins [10] via
the scraps press claws [4] on the belt [5] to move the scraps press plate [2] forward, then the plate presses the
SD-506
trimmer scraps. The spring [11] pushes the scraps press plate to put it back.
The trimmer scraps press is carried out when the actuator [8] turns on the scraps press home sensor (PS48) [9]

(4) Shutter mechanism

When the spring [10] pushes the scraps press plate [2] to its backmost position, the shutter arm [6] is pushed up
and the shutter [9] is opened. On the other hand, the shutter is closed when the scraps press plate is moved for-
SD-506
ward from the back most position to the position [3] by the spring of the shutter arm.
Opening the shutter allows the guide sheet [7], which is attached to the shutter, to be straightened [8] due to the
tension. Closing the shutter allows slack in the guide sheet to widen the dropping path of scraps.
Before trimming, the scraps press plate moves 50mm [3] from the backmost position and stops to be ready for
trimming.
The shutter repeats opening/closing operation by shuttling the scraps press plate 50mm back and forth in each
trimming operation. This shutter operation creates vibration with the guide sheet to shake off the trimmer scraps.

When the trimming is executed with the shutter closed, the bundle exit motor (M5) starts rotating forward to exit
paper [1]. Then the scraps press plate moves backward to drop the trimmer scraps with the shutter opened [2].
SD-506
After a specified period of time since the paper exit is finished [3], the M5 motor rotates in reverse to move the
scraps press plate frontward 50mm and stops [4] with the shutter closed. Then the next trimming is excused in
this condition.
After a specified period of time from paper exit when the trimming is performed 5 times or when the total
trimmed number of sheets becomes 60 sheets (30 sheets before folding) or more after the previous scraps
press operation [5], the M5 motor starts rotating in reverse to start the press operation [6]. When the press oper-
ation is started, the shutter opened by the paper exit operation is closed again [7]. When the scraps press home
sensor (PS48) detects that the scraps press plate is at the home position, the M5 motor stops [8] and next oper-
ation of the trimming and paper exit [9] is performed.

9.3 Operation
9.3.1 Trimmer press control
SD-506
A. Mechanism
The trimmer press is the mechanism to hold the paper at its fore-edge side to prevent the trimming misalign-
ment.
There is approximately 5mm of opening at the home position. The press arms [4] press the paper with the trim-
mer board [2] when the trimmer press motor (M32) [1] drives and the slide blocks [7] move to the closing direc-
tion [8]. M32 detects the completion of the paper press via overcurrent.
M32 rotates in the reverse direction to widen the opening to approximately 20mm before conveying the paper to
the trimmer section, in case the number of the print paper is 16 or more (32 or more for the saddle stitched
paper).
The trimmer press home sensor (PS53) [6] and the trimmer press home sensor (PS52) [5] detect the home posi-
tion and 20mm of opening respectively.

When changing the trimming position of the trimmer board or replacing the trimmer board via the I/O check
mode, M32 rotates in the reverse direction to move up the press board higher than the position of the trimmer
press upper limit sensor (PS52) and release the trimmer board [3] by pushing the trimmer board retaining spring
SD-506
[2] by the plate [1]. At the time, the opening is approximately 23mm. The position is detected via overcurrent.

The trimmer press motor (M32) rotates in the reverse direction [2] when the bundle clip motor starts conveying
SD-506
the paper [1]. When the trimmer press upper limit sensor (PS52) [3] detects upper limit position of the trimmer
board, M32 is stopped and waits for the paper.
At this time, the opening is approximately 20mm. M32 rotates in the forward direction to press the paper when
the paper is conveyed to the opening by the bundle press movement motor (M17) [4].
M32 stops when the overcurrent is detected [5]. The returning operation to the home position [7] is conducted
when the trimmer blade motor (M31) completes the trimming [6].

9.3.2 Trimmer blade control

A. Mechanism
The trimming is conducted by the trimmer blade driven by the trimmer blade motor (M31) while the paper is
SD-506
pressed by the trimmer press.
The drive shafts [4] moves up in a slanting direction along with the drive guide holes [2] when M31 pulls the trim-
mer blade retaining plate [5] to the direction [1]. It trims the paper with the trimmer blade [6] attached on the trim-
mer blade retaining plate [5].
The overcurrent of M31 caused when the trimmer blade retaining plate [5] is contacted with the trimmer stop-
pers [7] attached to the trimmer press plate detects the completion of the trimming.
If the overcurrent of M31 is not detected even if the trimmer blade keeps moving up, the trimmer blade upper
limit sensor (PS51) detects the upper limit.

9.3.3 Trimmer board control

A. Mechanism
If the trimmer board gets the trimmer blade to the same position many times, the trimmer operation is carried
SD-506
out improperly due to the damage on the board. For this reason, the trimmer board is slid 1mm backward for
sheet cutting each time a job of 700 times trimming is completed.
The trimmer board solenoid (SD11) [1] slides the trimmer board [5] to backward with its fixing released by the
trimmer press motor (M32).
The pinion [3] pushes the rack [4] 0.5mm every time SD11 turns ON. The rotation of the pinion is transmitted to
the rack by the one-way clutch [6] and pushes the trimmer board when SD11 turns ON. The pinion does not
rotate and push the trimmer board when SD11 turns OFF by the one-way clutch.
Each time a job of 700 times trimming is completed, SD11 is turned on twice to move the trimmer board 1mm.
The trimmer board can be slid up to approximately 26mm. The main body displays the message on its operation
panel when the trimmer board replacement sensor (PS59) [2] turns ON. The trimmer operation is prohibited
when the trimming is conducted 700 times since PS59 turns ON.
Note
• For C6501, the operation timing of the trimmer board solenoid can be selected among 700/500/300
(700 by default), and the travel distance can be selected among 1.0/1.5/2.0mm (1.0 by default) from
"Finisher adjustment" in service mode.
• For 1050, if the DIPSW22-5 setting in service mode is changed to 1, the operation timing of the
trimmer board solenoid becomes selectable among 700/500/300 (700 by default) on the adjust-
ment screen in the user mode.
• The burr occurs on the trimmed edge of the paper before the movement cycle of the trimmer
board and that depends on the paper type.

B. Control
The trimmer press motor (M32) starts the returning operation [2] to the home position when the 700th trimmer
operation [1] is completed. M32 does not stop by defection of the trimmer press home sensor (PS53) [3]. The
SD-506
opening keeps widening until the overcurrent of M32 is detected [4]. When M32 stops, the trimmer board sole-
noid (SD11) turns ON and OFF twice [5] to move the trimmer board 1mm. Then, M32 starts the returning oper-
ation to the home position [6].

9.3.4 Trimmer paddle control

A. Mechanism
The trimmer paddle [2] is provided to prevent the saddle-stitched paper from creating trails with scraps by get-
SD-506
ting into the paper during the press operation, and to drop the scraps forcibly. The trimmer paddle motor (M33)
drives the trimmer paddle.
Trimming amount is 15mm or less: The M33 motor rotates in reverse [1] to drop [3] the trimming scraps with the
trimming paddle. Trimming amount is more than 15mm: The M33 motor rotates forward to rake and to drop the
scraps to the wider dropping path [4].

B. Control
In trimming mode, the trimmer paddle motor (M33) starts forward/reverse rotation after the bundle clip motor
(M11) operates paper clipping, and then the M33 motor stops when the trimming JOB is finished.
SD-506
If the trimming amount value is specified by the "Trimming adjustment" in service mode, the forward/reverse
rotation of motor is controlled by the trimming amount that adds the adjusted value. (Edges of standard-sized
paper are trimmed by 2mm even when the adjustment value is specified to 0.)

[3] Trimmer stopper /Rt [7] Screw not allowed to be adjusted/removed
[4] Screw not allowed to be adjusted/removed [8] Trimmer press upper limit stopper /Lt
B. Reason of prohibition
• The trimmer press upper limit stoppers /Rt and /Lt releases the trimmer board. If they are misaligned, the
trimmer board is released without reaching to the required level of the opening for the operation. Conse-
quently, never change the position of the trimmer press upper limit stoppers /Rt and /Lt.
• The trimmer stoppers /Rt and /Lt determine the trimming amount of the trimmer blade to the paper and the
parallelism between the trimmer blade and the paper. If the trimmer blade is misaligned, the paper fails to
be trimmed or the trimmer board gets damaged because the trimmer blade cuts in the trimmer board
deeply. Accordingly, removing the trimmer stoppers /Rt and /Lt is not allowed.

4.3 Operation
PB-501/502
4.3.1 Gate control

A. Entrance gate control
• The entrance gate switches the paper path for the cover paper used for perfect binding so that the paper
conveyed from the PI of FD or the main body is conveyed to the cover paper table section.
• The entrance gate solenoid (SD1) activates the gate. When the SD1 turns OFF, the gate is opened to con-
vey the cover paper toward the sub tray gate, and when the SD1 turns ON, the gate is changed to make a
paper path toward the cover paper table section.
• The SD1 turns OFF while the inside papers for perfect binding are conveyed, or while they are exit on the
sub tray. It turns ON while cover paper is conveyed from the FD or the main body.
(1) When cover paper being conveyed from the main body
1. When a print job is received, the entrance gate solenoid (SD1) turns OFF [1] to open the entrance gate
toward the sub tray gate.
2. Cover paper is conveyed through the entrance gate [2].
3. When the paper exit sensor (PS3) of the main body detects the leading edge of the cover paper, the SD1
turns ON to switch the entrance gate direction toward the cover table section [4].
4. Once a prescribed time period has elapsed after the cover paper entrance sensor (PS3) detects the trailing
edge of cover paper [4], the SD1 turns OFF to switch the entrance gate direction toward the sub tray gate.

B. Sub tray gate control

• The sub tray gate switches the paper path for inside papers used for perfect binding between toward the
SC section and toward the sub tray to be exit.
• The sub tray gate solenoid (SD3) activates the sub tray gate. When the SD3 is OFF, the gate is opened
toward the SC section, and when the SD3 becomes ON, the gate direction is switched toward the sub tray
to exit inside papers.
• While inside papers are exit on the sub tray, the SD3 turns ON upon receiving a print job, and turns OFF
when the job is finished.
12
C. Bypass gate control

• The SC section is designed to stack a certain number of inside papers (n) of the subsequent book while the
PB-501/502
pages of previous book is glued at the clamp section. The bypass gate [3] operates to lay next 2 sheets of
inside paper ("n+1"th and "n+2"th) one on top of another and keep them until the stacked "n"th sheet of
inside paper at the SC section is conveyed to the clamp section [1]. It saves time for conveying the inside
paper and increases productivity.
• The bypass gate solenoid (SD2) activates the bypass gate.

5.3.2 SC entrance conveyance control

• The SC entrance roller is driven by the drive force of the SC entrance conveyance motor (M11) transmitted
PB-501/502
via the belt.
A. Control
1. The SC entrance conveyance motor (M11) starts to turn at low speed upon receiving a print job.
2. M11 starts to turn at high speed when SC entrance sensor (PS2) detects the trailing edge of paper [2].
3. When a prescribed time has elapsed after the M11 acceleration, the M11 returns to low speed [3] before the
paper goes through the SC entrance roller.
4. The above conveyance operation is carried out for the last paper of the first book [4] and the first page [5] to
the "n"th page [6] of the next book (n=37 - 38 when the papers are A4 sized and one-side printed).
5. The M11 stops to stop the SC entrance roller when the PS2 detects [7] the trailing edge of "n+1"th page.
6. When the PS2 detects [8] "n+2"th paper trailing edge, the M11 starts to turn at high speed [9] to convey the
"n+1"th and "n+2"th papers at a time.
7. The rest of the papers for the second book are conveyed in the same manner as for the first book, and the
papers for the subsequent books are conveyed in the same manner as for the second book.

5.3.3 SC switchback conveyance control

• The SC switchback conveyance motor (M12) drives the SC switchback roller. The SC switchback release
PB-501/502
motor (M13) drives the releasing operation of the roller.
A. SC switchback roller release mechanism

• The SC switchback release motor (M13) drives the pressure cam [3] and the switchback cam [9].
The forward rotation of the motor drives the pressure cam [3] and the reverse rotation of the motor drives
the switchback cam [9].
• SC switchback roller [4] has 3 preset positions for releasing (kept away from the driven roller), pressing
strongly or slightly against the driven roller.
• The "pressing strongly" status of the SC switchback roller [4] is used when conveying inside paper to the
clamp section, and the roller becomes the "pressing slightly" status when conveying inside paper to the SC
section so that the SC stopper stops the papers properly.
• The SC switchback arm pressure detection sensor (PS12) [2] detects the pressure cam position, and the
SC switchback spring pressure detection sensor (PS13) [6] detects the position of the switchback cam.
The PS12 is ON when the pressure cam is at its home position, and the PS13 is OFF when the switchback
cam is at its home position.

between releasing and light pressing while the pressure cam [3] is at its home position.
• While the SC switchback spring pressure detection sensor (PS13) is OFF, the SC switchback roller is in the
release position (kept away from the driven roller).
• When the PS13 becomes ON [2], the SC switchback roller moves to press slightly against the driven roller.
• The PS13 is kept OFF while the switchback cam is at its home position.

B. SC switchback roller control

• Inside papers of the first book are conveyed to the clamp section one by one without being stacked at the
PB-501/502
SC section.
• When conveying inside papers to the clamp section without stacking them in the SC section, the SC
switchback roller position is switched between releasing and strong pressing. The rotation direction of the
roller is also switched between forward and reverse.
• When conveying inside papers of the next and subsequent books, a certain number of papers (n) are first
stacked in the SC section, and the stacked inside papers are conveyed to the clamp section at a time.
"n+1"th paper and the subsequent papers are conveyed to the clamp section one by one without being
stacked at the SC section.
• When stacking papers in the SC section, the SC switchback roller position is switched between releasing
and light pressing. During the stacking, the SC switchback roller rotates in the reverse direction.
(1) First book

1. The SC switchback conveyance motor (M12) starts to turn in the reverse direction [1] upon receiving of a
print job. The switchback roller is in its release position to make paper go to the SC section.
2. After the SC entrance sensor (PS2) detects the trailing edge of the paper, the M12 changes to the forward
rotation. At the same time, the SC switchback release motor (M13) starts to rotate in the forward direction.
When the SC switchback arm pressure detection sensor (PS12) turns OFF, the M13 stops and the switch-
back roller is strongly pressed against the driven roller [4].
3. The inside papers are nipped between the switchback roller and the driven roller strongly [4] and conveyed
to the SC section by the forward rotation of the roller.
4. When a prescribed time has elapsed after the PS2 detects the trailing edge of the paper, the M12 reverses
the direction of rotation [5] to convey inside papers to the clamp section.
5. When a prescribed time has elapsed after the PS2 detects the trailing edge of the paper, the M13 starts to
turn in the forward direction again to move the switchback roller away from the driven roller [6], and when the
PS12 turns ON, the motor stops.
6. The above operations are repeated until the last page [7] of the first book reaches the clamp section.

1. The SC switchback conveyance motor (M12) continues to turn in the reverse direction after the last page [1]
PB-501/502
of the previous book is conveyed to the clamp section [2].
2. When a prescribed time has elapsed after the SC entrance sensor (PS2) detects the trailing edge of the first
page of the next book [3], the SC switchback release motor (M13) starts to rotate in the reverse direction [4].
3. When the SC switchback spring pressure detection sensor (PS13) turns ON, the M13 stops and the switch-
back roller is lightly pressed against the driven roller. The inside papers are then conveyed to the SC section
and stopped by the SC stopper.
4. After the PS2 detects the trailing edge of the paper, the M13 reverses the direction of rotation again. Then
the switchback roller is moved away from the driven roller to accept the next page.
5. The above operations are repeated until a certain number of papers (n) are stacked in the SC section. (evey
book)
6. While the next 2 papers ("n+1"th page [5] and "n+2"th page [6]) are set in the bypass gate, the stacked n
papers are conveyed to the clamp section at a time.
7. When the PS2 detects the trailing edge of the "n+2"th page, the M12 starts to turn in the forward direction.
At the same time, the M13 also starts to turn in the forward direction to push strongly the switchback roller
against the driven roller. After the "n+1"th page and the "n+2"th page are conveyed to the clamp section
through the SC section at a time, the following papers are conveyed to the clamp section one by one in the
same manner as for the first book.

5.3.4 SC main scan alignment control

• The SC alignment motor (M15) drives the SC alignment plate /Fr and /Rr via the belt to move them by 9mm
PB-501/502
as they are oscillated. This movement aligns the edges of the papers stacked in the SC section in the main
scan direction.
• The alignment operation is carried out every time a page is stacked in the SC section when stacking a cer-
tain number of papers of the second or subsequent books.
• While inside papers are conveyed to the clamp section without being stacked in the clamp section, this
alignment operation is not performed.
(1) Control
1. Upon receiving of a print job, the SC alignment motor (M15) starts to turn in the reverse direction to shift the
SC alignment plate /Fr and /Rr to the position9mm outer the paper edges [1].
2. After the SC entrance sensor (PS2) detects the trailing edge of the first page of the second or subsequent
book, the M15 starts to turn in the reverse direction to carry out the main scan direction alignment with the
SC alignment plate /Fr and /Rr.
3. When a prescribed time has elapsed after the PS2 detection, the M15 starts to turn in the forward direction
to move the SC alignment plate /Fr and /Rr back to their standby positions.
4. Every time a page is stacked in the SC section, this alignment operation is performed.
Note
• The set positions of the 2 alignment plates (the distance between the 2 plates) can be adjusted in
the service mode.

• SC roller release motor (M18) [5] conducts the press/release operation of SC driven roller [7] via cam [8].
• The SC roller release sensor (PS17) [6] detects the press/release operation of the roller. While the roller is
pressed against the opposite roller, the PS17 is kept ON.
• The clamp entrance roller release motor (M20) [1] drives the cam [3] and the clamp entrance roller [4] to
move them away from (release) or contact with (press) the opposite roller.

1. Upon receiving of a print job, the SC bundle conveyance motor (M17) starts to rotate [1], and the inside
PB-501/502
paper are conveyed to the clamp section one by one with the SC roller and the clamp entrance roller.
2. When the SC paper detection sensor (PS16) detects the trailing edge of the last paper [2], the SC roller
release motor (M18) starts to rotate to start stacking paper in the SC section. When a prescribed time has
elapsed after the M18 starts to rotate, the M17 stops to stop conveying paper to the clamp section. The
clamp entrance roller release motor (M20) also starts to rotate to release the clamp entrance roller [3].
3. The M18 stops when the PS17 becomes OFF, and the M20 stops when the PS19 becomes OFF. The next
bundle of paper is kept stacked in the SC section until the clamp section is ready for them.
4. The M18 starts to rotate again [5] after a prescribed time has passed since the SC entrance sensor (PS2)
detects [4] the trailing edge of the last page of the stacked paper in the SC section.
5. When the SC roller is set in the position for paper conveyance after the PS17 becomes ON, the M17 starts
to rotate to convey the stacked paper.
6. When the leading edges of the paper go through the clamp entrance roller, the M20 starts to rotate to con-
vey the paper to the clamp section.
7. Then the next 2 pages set in the bypass gate are conveyed to the clamp section at a time. All the above
operations are repeated for the subsequent books.

the clamp assy becomes ready for accepting the next paper.
2. When the clamp motor (M22) initiates clamping operation [3], the M19 starts to turn in the forward direction
to lift the clamp entrance assy until the assy reaches the position out of way of the clamping operation. The
clamp entrance movement HP sensor (PS18) detects that the assy reaches the position (the sensor
becomes ON), and the M19 is stopped [5].

6.3 Operation
PB-501/502
6.3.1 Clamp alignment control
• In order to line up edges of paper stacked in the clamp section in the main scan direction, the clamp align-
ment motor (M21) drives the clamp alignment plate /Fr and /Rr via the belt.
• The main-scan-direction alignment operation is performed when the following paper are set in the clamp
section; all inside paper of the first book, “n” paper of the subsequent books stacked in the SC section, the
next 2 pages (“n+1”th and “n+2”th paper) of the subsequent books, and “n+3”th and the subsequent page.
(1) Control
1. Upon receiving a print job, the clamp alignment motor (M21) starts to turn in the reverse direction to shift the
clamp alignment plate /Fr and /Rr offset 9mm from the paper edges [1].
2. When a prescribed time has elapsed after the SC paper detection sensor (PS16) detects [2] the trailing edge
of the first page of the first book, the M21 starts reverse rotation again to perform the main-scan-direction
alignment [3] with the clamp alignment plate /Fr and /Rr.
3. Then, while the FD alignment solenoid (SD11) turns ON and paper edges in the sub scan direction are lined
up [4], the M21 turns in the forward direction to move the clamp alignment plate /Fr and /Rr away from the
paper [5].
4. The SD11 is kept ON until the sub-scan-direction alignment for the last page of the first book [6] is finished.
When the SD11 turns OFF and the pressure toward the papers is released, the M21 starts to turn in the
reverse direction to press the bundle of paper from its front and back sides [8].
5. When the clamp pressure sensor (PS23) turns ON and clamping the paper is finished, the M21 starts to turn
in the forward direction to release the paper [9].
6. After a prescribed time has passed since the PS16 detects the trailing edge of the "n"th paper [10] stacked
in the SC section, the alignment operations are performed.
7. The alignment operation is also carried out for the 2 papers ("n+1"th and "n+2"th page) laid one on top of
another [11] at the bypass gate.

A. Mechanism
1. The gap between the clamp fixing plate [7] and the clamp pressure plate [1] is 45mm when the clamp HP
sensor (PS22) [6] is ON [2].
2. Before applying pressure by the clamp motor (M22), the pressure drive plate [5] is move to the left side.
3. The clamp pressure plate moves together with the pressure drive plate [5].
4. When the clamp pressure sensor (PS23) [4] becomes ON after applying pressure to the papers, the clamp-
ing operation is finished [3].

2. Upon completion of clamping, the clamp pressure sensor (PS23) turns ON and the M22 stops [2].
3. After the spine edges of the compressed inside paper is evened up, the cover paper table up down motor /
Fr (M46) and /Rr (M47) lift the cover paper table, and the M22 starts to turn in the forward direction. Then,
the clamp pressure plate opening operation is started [3].

6.3.3 Clamp rotation control

• A bundle of inside papers of a book is clamped and rotated to be glued on its spine.
PB-501/502
A. Clamp assy angle change /fixing mechanism

• The drive force of the clamp rotation motor (M23) rotates the clamp rotation assy.
There are 3 preset tilt angles of the clamp rotation assy as following.
Home position : 45°
Clamped : 50°
Glue applied : 90°
48
(1) Angle change mechanism

• The tilt angle of the clamp assy is changed for clamping and gluing as following.
• When the clamp rotation assy is in its home position and the clamp pressure plate [7] is also in its home
PB-501/502
position [3], the tab [6] of the pressure plate presses [2] the release cover [4], and the pin [1] of the switch
arm [12] is inserted in the clamp angle stopper notch [11] to stop the rotation of the clamp rotation assy at
the angle for clamping.
• When the clamp rotation assy is in its home position, and the clamp pressure plate is not [5], the switch arm
drops by its own weight as the tab of the clamp pressure plate is not pressing the release cover. For this
reason, the switch arm pin is not inserted in the clamp angle stopper notch, and the clamp rotation assy
keeps rotating until the glue angle stopper notch [10] is inserted over the shaft [8] [9].
• The tilt angle of the clamp assy cannot be changed directly between the clamping angle and the gluing
angle. To change the angle, the assy first must go back to the home position to release the stoppers.

(2) Fixing of the clamp rotation assy

• While clamping or gluing is performed, the corresponding stopper locks the clamp rotation assy. Moreover,
PB-501/502
in order to reinforce the fixing state of the assy, the clamp rotation motor (M23) [5] rotates the gear [1] 10°
[2] to pull the spring [4] applying the spring force to the assy. The operations fix the clamp rotation assy
securely.
• The clamp rotation pressure sensor (PS25) detects that the prescribed pressure is applied to the clamp
rotation assy and becomes ON.

B. Reference plate opening/closing mechanism

(1) Opening/closing of the reference plate
PB-501/502
• The reference plate [5] opens/closes in synchronization with the rotation of the clamp rotation assy [1].
1. When the clamp rotation assy stops at the angle for gluing, the release arm [8] presses down the reference
plate mounting bracket [6], and the reference plate is separated from a bundle of inside papers. The separa-
tion of the reference plate prevents the plate from damaging the paper edges when the clamp rotation assy
is upstanding.
2. Further rotation [3] of the reference plate mounting bracket [6] makes the pin [7] go down [2], and the refer-
ence plate is released [4] from the spring [9].
3. The reference plate goes back to its home position with the reference mounting bracket [6] which pushes up the pin [7].
4. While clamping operation is in progress, the reference plate is fixed at the upper position with the spring [10].
5. When the clamp pressure plate returns to its home position, the release arm [8] is pushed up by the tab [11]
of the clamp pressure plate and moved back to its standby position.

(2) Paper guard tabs mechanism for clamping

• The reference plate [6] has paper guard tabs [2] to prevent inside papers [4] from going off the reference
PB-501/502
plate while they are clamped [1].

• While the reference plate contacts with the stopper, the paper guard tabs are protruding.
• When the reference plate is opened [3], the paper guard tabs are retracted [5] so as not to damage the
paper edges.

C. Control
1. Upon receiving of a print job [1], the clamp rotation motor (M23) starts to turn in the reverse direction.
PB-501/502
2. The M23 stops when the clamp rotation pressure sensor (PS25) becomes ON, and the clamp rotation assy
is set at the compiling position [2].
3. When clamping of the inside papers by the clamp motor (M22) is finished [3], the M23 starts to turn in the
forward direction to rotate the clamp rotation assy 15° counterclockwise.
4. The M23 stops [4] when the clamp rotation HP sensor (PS24) becomes ON. The tilt angle of the gear is 15°
when the assy returns to the home position, however, the clamp rotation assy rotates 5° as the gear has
rotated 10° more separately for fixing the assy. As the result, the clamp rotation assy tilt angle changes from
50° for clamping to 45° (home position). At this time, since the clamp pressure plate is out of the home posi-
tion, the pin is free from the clamp angle stopper notch, which allows the clamp rotation assy to rotate to the
gluing angle.
5. After a prescribed time has elapsed, the M23 starts to turn in the reverse direction to rotate the clamp rota-
tion assy clockwise [5].
6. When the PS25 turns ON, the spring fixes the assy, and the M23 stops [6]. At this time, the gear has rotated
55°, however, in order to secure the assy, it has rotated 10° more than the clamp rotation assy, the clamp
rotation assy rotates 45° clockwise from its home position and becomes upright state (90°).
7. When the clamp paper sensor (PS28) detects [7] that the bundle of paper is released from the clamp, the
M23 starts to turn in the forward direction to return the clamp rotation assy to the home position.
8. The M23 stops [8] when the PS24 becomes ON, and the clamp rotation assy stops at its home position (tilt
angle of 45°). At this time, since the clamp pressure plate is in the home position, the pin is engaged with the
clamp angle stopper notch, which allows the clamp rotation assy to rotate to the clamping angle.
9. Then, the M23 starts to turn in the reverse direction [9] to move the clamp rotation assy to the clamping
position [10] and stops when the PS25 becomes On.

6.3.4 Book thickness detection control

• The book thickness sensor (PS29) detects the book thickness.
PB-501/502
• The detected thickness is used to determine the trimming amount of the cover paper.
A. Mechanism
• The clamp pressure plate [1] is moved by winding up the wire[6].
• When the wire [6] is wound up, the encoder plate [4] rotates.
• The book thickness sensor (PS29) [5] detects and counts how much the encoder scale is rotated.
• The sensor continue the counting until the clamp pressure sensor (PS23) [2] becomes ON.

7.3 Operation
PB-501/502
7.3.1 Pellet supply operation overview
• The pellet supply arm [4] is moved above the glue tank [5] to supply pellets [1].
Then the pellets [1] are conveyed by the pellet conveyance belt [2] to drop them into the glue tank.
• The glue tank temperature sensor /Up (TH2) provided in the glue tank unit determines the timing to supply
pellets into the glue tank. As the molten glue inside the glue tank decreases, the TH2 surface not soaked in
the glue becomes wider. It finally causes the TH2 temperature lower than a prescribed level, and it is judged
that the glue is getting low and another pellets must be supplied.
• Checking the TH2 temperature is carried out in the following timing.
a. When the glue tank HP sensor (PS33) becomes ON after gluing operation.
• The number of pellets supplied at a time varies depending on the thickness of the book.

7.3.2 Pellet supply arm control

• The pellet supply arm motor (M34) activates the pellet supply arm. When the pellet supply arm moves
PB-501/502
above the glue tank, the shutter is opened to drop pellets in the glue tank.
• In order to prevent the arm from the evaporated glue or radiant heat rose from the glue tank, the arm is kept
at its home position except when supplying pellets. In this case, the shutter shuts down to stop the pellets
from dropping down by the vibration. They are dropped next time the pellets are supplied.
A. Control
1. When the glue tank temperature sensor /Up (TH2) detects a temperature lower than the set temperature,
the pellet supply arm motor (M34) starts to turn in the forward direction[1].
2. When the pellet supply arm reaches the pellet supply position (above the glue tank) and the pellet supply
arm upper limit sensor (PS38) becomes ON, the M34 stops [2].
3. When a prescribed time has elapsed after a certain number of pellets is counted by the pellet count sensor
(PS37), the M34 starts reverse rotation to move the arm back to its home position [3].
4. When the pellet supply arm reaches the home position and the pellet supply arm lower limit sensor (PS39)
becomes ON, the M34 stops.

7.3.3 Pellet supply control
PB-501/502
A. Mechanism
• The pellet supply motor (M33) drives the pellet conveyance belt, the oscillating plate, and the stirring comb.
(1) Pellet conveyance belt

• The pellets [5] are conveyed by the pellet conveyance belt moved by the motor.
• The conveyance roller [3] presses the pellet conveyance belt [4] with the spring force.
• In order to keep the belt in a constant tension while the belt is oscillating to convey pellets, the tension plate
[2] is pulled by the spring and applies tension [1] to the pellet conveyance belt.

(2) Oscillating of the pellet conveyance belt

• The pellet supply motor (M33) rotates the plate cam [2] and the rotation force is transmitted to the oscillat-
PB-501/502
ing plate [1] via the connecting plate [3]. Then the introduction roller [5] is driven to oscillate the pellet con-
veyance belt [4] in synchronization with the belt rotation movement.

• In order to shake the stirring comb [1], the pellet supply motor (M33) moves the plate cam [4] in synchroni-
zation with the pellet conveyance belt movement, and the cam moves the stirring comb mounting plate [2]
up and down via the shaking plate [3].

B. Control
(1) Normal operation
PB-501/502
1. When the pellet supply arm moves to the pellet supply position and the pellet supply arm upper limit sensor
(PS38) becomes ON, the pellet supply motor (M33) starts to rotate to start supplying pellets [1] to the glue
tank.
2. The M33 stops to stop the pellet supply operation when the pellet count sensor (PS37) counts a certain
number of pellets.

(2) When the PS37 does not count the prescribed number of pellets
• When the number of pellets counted by the pellet count sensor (PS37) do not reach the specified amount
within the specified time, the pellet supply motor (M33) stops. At the next pellet supply, the M33 rotates in
reverse direction for 3 seconds and then starts forward rotation. It prevents the pellets from getting stuck in
the conveyance belt section.
(3) Stop operation during pellet supply

• When all the inside papers have stacked up, while the pellet supply motor (M33) is turning, the M33 stops.
64
7.3.4 Pellet supply amount control

(1) Pellet passage detection
PB-501/502
• The pellet count LED (LED32) and the pellet count sensor (PS37) detect the pellets passed through the pel-
let supply path. (The sensor turns ON/OFF for every 2 or 3 pellets.)
(2) Control
• The number of pellets to be supplied is calculated as a required number of counts to be counted by the pel-
let count sensor (PS37) based on the glue consumption expected according to the book thickness
detected at the last time.
• When the calculated count is reached, pellet supply is stopped.
7.3.5 Pellet remaining amount detection control

• While the pellet supply arm is in the home position turning the pellet supply arm lower limit sensor (PS39)
ON, the detection of remaining number of pellets inside the pellet supply hopper is carried out.
• When the remaining number of pellets becomes about 300g, the pellet supply hopper is detected as empty.
• When 1 second has elapsed after the pellet remain sensor (PS36) switches to OFF from ON, a message to
notify the empty status appears on the main body touch panel.
7.3.6 Pellet supply door opening/closing detection control
• The pellet supply door is equipped with the pellet supply door switch (MS1) [1] and the pellet supply door sensor (PS40) [2].
• When the MS1 turns OFF, a 24VDC supplied to the pellet supply motor (M33) is shut off to stop the motor.
• When the PS40 detects the above status, a message appears on the main body touch panel.

• The glue tank unit is moved by the drive force of the glue tank movement motor (M31) transmitted via the
timing belt. The gap [5] between the glue tank HP sensor (PS33) and the center [7] of the inside papers [6]
is 322.5mm.

B. Control
1. When the upright movement of the clamp section is finished turning the clamp rotation pressure sensor
PB-501/502
(PS25) ON, the glue tank movement motor (M31) starts to turn in the forward direction at high speed to
move the glue tank frontward [1]. This operation applies glue to the spine of the inside papers.
2. When the glue tank movement limit sensor (PS31) becomes ON after a prescribed time has elapsed since
the PS25 turns ON, the M31 pauses [3].
3. Then, the M31 starts reverse rotation at low speed [4], and the glue apply position detection sensor (PS32)
starts to detect edges of the inside papers.
4. After the PS32 becomes ON upon detection of the inside papers edge, the M31 shifts to high speed [5] to
move the glue tank backward applying glue to the spine again.
5. When the glue tank HP sensor (PS33) becomes ON after a prescribed time has elapsed since the PS32
turns ON, the M31 stops [7].

8.3.2 Glue apply roller control

A. Mechanism
PB-501/502
• The glue apply roller motor (M32) drives the glue apply roller and the cover paper glue roller via the gear.
• As the glue apply roller rotates, a 1.5mm thickness layer of molten glue is formed on the rollers metal sur-
face due to the viscosity of the glue.
B. Control
• The glue apply roller motor (M32) starts to rotate when the glue tank temperature sensor /Md (TH3) detects
a prescribed temperature*1.
• When the glue applying mode is switched to standby mode, the M32 stops.
*1 Default: 145 °C (changeable in the service mode)
71
8.3.3 Glue tank lifting control

A. Mechanism
PB-501/502
• The glue apply roller is lifted to the glue apply position when the glue tank up solenoid /1 (SD31) [3] and /2
(SD33) [4] become ON.
• The SD31 and SD33 activate the arm [5] to lift the roller [2], and the glue tank [1] is lifted being rotated piv-
oted to the cover paper roller shaft.

• While the SD31 and the SD33 are ON, the gap between the level tangent line [5] of the metal surface [1] of
the glue apply roller and the spine surface [7] of inside papers [6] is about 1mm *1.
PB-501/502
• The glue apply thickness is changed by the thickness of paper to keep the book strength.
Thickness of paper is 6mm or less : The glue apply thickness is 0.8mm
Thickness of paper is 7mm or more: The glue apply thickness is 1.2mm
• The scrape plate [2] and the scrape bar [4] scrape off excess glue from the spine of inside papers.
• While the SD31 and SD33 are ON, the scrape plate is placed 0.5mm *2 away from the metal surface of the
glue apply roller.
• While the SD31 and SD33 are ON, the scrape bar contacts with the metal surface of the glue apply roller
(0.0mm *2 gap).
*1 The mechanical adjustment "Glue apply roller gap adjustment" can adjust the glue application quantity.
*2 The mechanical adjustment "Glue tank positioning" can adjust the thickness of molten glue layer to be
formed on the roller surface.

B. Control
1. When a prescribed time has elapsed after the clamp section is set at its upright position [1] turning the
PB-501/502
clamp rotation pressure sensor (PS25) ON, the glue tank assy starts movement toward the front side.
While the glue tank assy is moving, the glue tank up solenoid /1 (SD31) and /2 (SD33) become ON to lift the
glue apply roller to apply glue to the spine of inside papers [2].
2. When the glue has applied along the inside paper spine by a length of 5mm longer than the paper length
during a predetermined time period after the PS25 turns ON, the SD31 and SD33 become OFF to lower the
glue apply roller [3]. Then, the glue tank assy starts to move backward.
3. The second glue application [4] during the backward movement is activated when the SD31 and SD33 turn
ON again at the time the glue apply roller passed the inside paper edge through by 4mm, which is the timing
when a predetermined time has elapsed after the glue apply position detection sensor (PS32) detects the
inside paper edge.
4. During a predetermined time period after the PS32 turns ON, the SD31 and SD33 turn OFF [5] at the posi-
tion the glue apply roller passed trailing edge of the inside paper through by 4mm.

8.3.4 Cover paper glue control

A. Mechanism
PB-501/502
• The cover paper glue up solenoid (SD32) [5] lifts the cover paper roller side [9] of the glue tank base plate
[2].
• The glue tank up solenoid /1 (SD31) [4] and /2 (SD33) [3], which lift the glue apply roller [8] side of the glue
tank, are also attached to the glue tank base plate, and as the result, the whole glue tank assy is lifted.

• The control varies according to the thickness of the book.
When the thickness of the book is 6mm or less:
The cover paper glue up solenoid (SD32) turns ON and off at the same time as the glue tank up solenoid/1
(SD31), /2 (SD33).
However, during backward movement of the glue tank, SD32 turns OFF with a specified time delay after the
SD31 and SD33 turns OFF.
When the thickness of the book is 7mm or more: It always turns OFF.

8.3.5 Glue temperature control

PB-501/502
A. Mechanism
• The glue tank heater (H1) heats the glue tank bottom to melt the pellets.
• The glue apply roller heater (H2) heats the glue apply roller to keep the glue adhered to the roller surface at
a constant viscosity.
B. Temperature detection
The glue apply roller temperature sensor (TH1) [7] detects the temperature of the glue apply roller [8], and the
glue tank temperature sensor /Up (TH2) [6], /Md (TH3) [3], and /Lw (TH4) [2] detects the temperature of the glue
tank [5].
(1) TH1
• Detects temperature of the center portion of the glue apply roller, and the glue apply roller heater (H2) [9] is
controlled according to the detected temperature.
• The target temperature is 165 °C.
(2) TH2
• This sensor is provided on the inner surface of the glue tank, at the position 29mm above the bottom of the
tank, in order to detect glue level.
• When the glue runs low, the glue surface becomes lower, and finally the TH2 comes out of the glue. It
causes a sudden drop in temperature of the TH2.The temperature drop is detected as a low glue level, and
activates the pellet supply operation.
• The target temperature is 132 °C. *1
*1 Changeable in the service mode.
(3) TH3
• This sensor is also provided on the inner surface of the glue tank, at the position 15.4mm above the tank
bottom, to detect the viscosity of the molten glue. According to the detected result, rotating or not rotating
the glue apply roller is determined.
• The target temperature is 145 °C. *1
*1 Changeable in the service mode.
76

paper separation clutch (MC72) turn ON, and rotate the pick-up roller which is pressing down the cover
paper with its own weight, and starts the paper feeding of the cover paper [1].
2. When the cover paper conveyance sensor /1 (PS75) is turned on by the leading edge of the cover paper,
M74, MC71, MC72 are temporary turned off, and cover paper feeding is stopped [2].
3. After the specified time, M74, MC71, MC72 are turned back on, and the leading edge of the cover paper is
sent to the cover paper conveyance sensor /2 (PS76), then M74, MC71 are turned off again [3].
4. After the specified time, M71, MC72, MC3 are turned back on, and the leading edge of the cover paper is
sent to the cover paper conveyance sensor /3 (PS77), then M71, MC72 are turned off again [4].
5. After the specified time, M74, MC71, MC72 and the cover paper pick up solenoid (SD71) are turned on, the
pick up roller is put back to its original position, and the cover paper is conveyed by only the paper feed roller
and the conveyance roller [5].
6. When the leading edge of the cover paper turns ON the cover paper conveyance sensor /4 (PS78), M74,
MC71, MC72, SD71 turn OFF [6].
7. After the specified time, M74 rotates at high speed, cover paper is conveyed by only the conveyance roller
while MC72 turns ON and the next cover paper is sent to the reverse direction to be separated [7].
8. After the back edge of the cover paper has passed the PS76, MC72 and SD71 turn OFF, and the paper

• The drive force of the cover paper feed motor (M74) is transmitted to the separation roller [4] via the torque
PB-501/502
limiter [3] when the cover paper separation clutch (MC72) [2] is ON.
• The separation roller [4] is driven in the direction opposite to the cover paper feeding direction. However, the
roller rotates in the same direction with the paper feed direction as long as 1 sheet of cover paper or no
paper is fed because the friction force between the cover paper feed roller [1] and separation roller [4], or
paper and the separation roller is larger than the torque limited by the torque limiter [3].
• When multi-feed occurs, the separation roller reverses the rotation direction to feed the lower sheet that
contacts with the roller back to the tray because the friction force drops due to the multi-feed and becomes
lower than the torque limited by the torque limiter.

9.3.7 Paper feed assist plate

(1) Purpose
PB-501/502
The paper feed assist plate (P/N 56UA4070) can be attached to the pick-up roller to adjust the pressure to cover
paper applied from the roller. By changing the number of plates to be attached to the roller depending on the
cover paper type, paper feed accuracy can be improved.
Using the plates is effective especially when feeding coated cover paper or similar type that is likely to stick
tightly causing no-feed trouble.
The paper feed assist plate weighs about 10g and up to 4 plates can be attached to 1 pick-up roller in normal
condition. When the surface of the cover paper is powdery, up to 8 plates can be attached. Increase or
decrease the number of plates according to paper type or condition to improve cover paper feed accuracy.
(2) Configuration
The package contains the following as a set.
• [1] Paper feed assist plate : 4 sheets
• [2] Screws : 2 (M3 x 8)
Only 4 paper feed assist plates are packaged together with the main body. When required additionally, can be
purchased as service parts.

1. The cover paper conveyance arm /Rt [4] and /Lt [10] are activated upon receiving of a print job, and they are
pressed against the cover paper conveyance roller /Rt [5] and /Lt [8].
2. When a cover paper is fed [7], alignment operation is carried out by the cover paper alignment plate /Rr and
/Fr [6].
3. After the thickness of inside papers [11] is detected by clamping operation made by the clamp pressure
plate [12], the cover paper is fed backward (switchback) [2].
4. The backward feeding is made to feed the cover paper to the roller cutter assy so that the paper edge pro-
trudes away from the cover paper switchback sensor (PS44) [3] by the trimming amount.
5. The roller cutter [1] trims the cover paper edge and then the paper is conveyed to the left side again.
6. Alignment operation to attach the cover paper to the inside papers is carried out.
7. The cover paper is moved to left and right by the reverse /forward rotation of the cover paper conveyance
roller /Rt and /Lt for positioning properly with reference to the cover paper sensor /Lt (PS46) [9] as starting

B. Control
(1) Cover paper trimming mode
1. Upon receiving of a print job [1], the cover paper conveyance arm motor /Rt (M43) and /Lt (M44) start for-
PB-501/502
ward rotating to make the driven rollers provided on the tips of the arms press against the conveyance roller
/Rt and /Lt, and the motors stop [2].
2. When the cover paper conveyance motor (M45) stops [3] after conveying the cover paper to the cover paper
table, the M43 and M44 start reverse rotation to move the driven rollers away from the paper [4].
3. When the cover paper alignment motor (M41) stops [5] after making the arms press against both edges of
the cover paper for alignment, the M43 and M44 start forward rotation to hold down the paper with the
driven rollers [6] to prevent the paper from moving.
4. When the cover paper trimming is finished, the cover paper alignment operation [7] to be attached to the
inside papers is performed in the same manner as for the trimming.
5. When a prescribed time has elapsed after the cover paper table is lifted [8] by the cover paper table up down
motor /Fr (M46) and /Rr (M47), the cover paper folding plate /Rt and /Lt start to move inward to fold the
cover paper along the inside papers, and at the same time, the M43 and M44 start reverse rotation to move
the driven rollers away from the paper [9].
6. When the cover paper table starts temporary lowering to prepare for receiving the book with the M46 and M47 drive
forces, the M43 and M44 start reverse rotation [10] to support both sides of the cover paper with the cover paper lift
plate/Lt and /Rt. It prevents the cover paper alignment plate/Fr and /Rr from unexpectedly folding the cover paper.
7. When the M41 stops [11] after setting the book exit belt /Fr and /Rr at the book receiving position, the cover
paper table starts to move upward again, and at the same time, the M43 and M44 start forward rotation to
move the arms so that they do not contact with the clamp section.
8. When the cover paper table starts downward movement receiving the book, the M43 and M44 drives the
arms to return them to the home positions [13].

ming is not performed. Only the positioning operation for attaching the cover to the inside papers is performed.
However, when the inside paper is smaller than B5 size, alignment is done twice. Once when cover paper is car-
ried in, and once after leading edge positioning is done.
10.3.8 Cover paper lifting (supporting) control

A. Mechanism
• The cover paper lift solenoid (SD41) activates the cover paper lift plate /Rt.
• The cover paper lift plate /Rt supports the right-side of the cover paper to prevent it from bowing down and
being unexpectedly folded when the cover paper table is temporary lowered for setting the book exit belt at
the standby position.
B. Control
1. When the cover paper table up down motor /Fr (M46) and /Rr (M47) stop after lowering the table for setting
the book exit belt at the standby position, the cover paper lift solenoid (SD41) is activated to move the cover
paper lift plate for supporting the right-side of the cover paper. This operation prevents the right-side of the
paper from bowing.
2. The SD41 turns OFF when the cover paper alignment motor (M41) stops after setting the book exit belt at
the standby position.

1. After the cover paper is folded along the inside papers, the cover paper table up down motor /Fr (M46) and
/Rr (M47) start reverse rotation to lower the cover paper table [1].
2. When the book spine corner touches the book exit belt surface (when a prescribed time has elapsed after
the table starts to go down), the book exit motor (M42) starts to rotate at low speed so that the book is
slowly laid down on the belt [2].
3. When a prescribed time has elapsed after starting the rotation, the M42 stops [3].
4. The M42 starts high-speed rotation to exit the book [4] toward the book stock section when the M46 and
M47 have moved the cover paper table upward by 60mm so that the book exit belt horizontally aligns with
the book conveyance belt in the book stock section.

11.3.5 Book movement control

A. Mechanism
PB-501/502
• The book movement motor (M64) drives the book movement belt.
• The belt moves the first row of books to the second row.
B. Control
(1) While in the print
• The book movement motor (M64) is allowed to drive only when the book sensor /2 (PS67) is OFF (no stack
of books exist at the second row).
• When the book load limit sensor (PS65) detects that book has been stacked up to the limit at the first row,
the M64 starts to drive the belt and stops when the PS67 turns ON.
(2) Book manual movement

• Only when the book sensor /1 (PS66) is ON and the book sensor /2 (PS67) is OFF, the book movement
motor (M64) is allowed to drive.
• When the book movement button is turned ON, the book movement motor (M64) starts to drive the belt,
and stops when the PS67 turns ON.
130
11.3.6 Book stopper control

A. Mechanism
PB-501/502
• The book stopper supports the stacked books to prevent them from falling down.
• The book stopper motor (M65) drives the book stopper.
• The book stopper HP sensor (PS68) is provided to detect whether the arms are in their home position or
not.
B. Control
• Upon receiving of a print job, the book stopper motor (M65) starts forward rotation to move the stopper to
the position correspond to the book size.
• When the job is finished, the M65 starts reverse rotation to return the stopper to its home position, and the
motor stops when the book stopper HP sensor (PS68) turns ON.
11.3.7 Book full status detection control

• When books have been stacked up to the limit at the first row, the full-status is detected by the book load
limit sensor (PS65) and notified by the book upper limit LED (LED61).
• Since any light to the PS65 is blocked while the book conveyance assy is moving up or down, the PS65
status is checked only while the book conveyance belt HP sensor (PS63) is ON.
• Even when the PS65 is not detecting the full-status, continuing stacking books cannot be made under the
following conditions.
(1) When the stacked book size is the same
Book thickness is classified into 3 levels; a, b, and c, and allowable number of books to be stacked is
determined according to the combination of a, b, and c as shown in the following table.
Book a: 10 - 30 sheets
Book b: 31 - 150 sheets
Book c: 151 - 300 sheets
Mixing more than 2 among a, b, and c-level books in 1 stack is not allowed.
Books already stacked Books to be stacked over
Book a Book b Book c
Book a 50 copies in total (30 - a) copies (20 - a) copies
Book b (35 - b) copies 35 copies in total (20 - b) copies
Book c 30 copies 30 copies Until detected by
PS65
*Stacking more books is stopped when the result of the calculations shown in the table become negative value.
*Stacking more books is stopped when the PS65 detects full status even when the result of the calculations is positive.
(2) When the stacked book size is different from each other
It stacks only 1 copy on the stacked books on the first row, moves to the second row, and then stacks the
rest of the copies on the first row.

[1] Exhaust fan /1 (M80) [3] Pellet supply cooling fan motor (M4)
[2] Exhaust fan /2 (M81)
A. Pellet supply cooling fan motor (M4)

(1) Purpose
• The fan cools the air above the molten glue surface in the glue tank for the maintenance of a temperature
differential to molten glue. This allows the glue tank temperature sensor /Up (TH2) to detect a drop in tem-
perature precisely when it comes out of the molten glue that is getting low for the notification that pellets
need to be supplied.
(2) ON timing
• The M4 turns ON upon completion of warm-up of the glue tank.
• The M4 turns ON when the temperature sensor /Md (TH3) detects the temperature around the middle in
the glue tank is higher than the preset temperature.
(3) OFF timing

• The M4 turns OFF when the temperature sensor /Md (TH3) detects the temperature around the middle in
the glue tank is lower than the preset temperature.
132
B. Exhaust fan /1 (M80), /2 (M81)

(1) Purpose
PB-501/502
• The fans are provided to prevent an excessive increase in temperature inside the PB-501 exhausting air and
deodorize.
(2) ON timing
• The M80 and M81 turn ON upon completion of warm-up of the glue tank.
• The M80 and the M81 turn ON when the temperature sensor /Md (TH3) detects the temperature around
the middle in the glue tank is higher than the preset temperature.
(3) OFF timing

• The M80 and the M81 turn OFF when the temperature sensor /Md (TH3) detects the temperature around
the middle in the glue tank is lower than the preset temperature.
12.2 Door opening/closing control

• When the front door, upper door, and stacker door are opened with the front door switch (MS2), upper door
switch (MS3), and stacker door switch (MS4) [3] turned OFF, a 24VDC /2 (DCPU /2) supply is shut down to
stop all operations instantly.
• When the pellet supply door is opened with the pellet supply door switch (MS1) turned OFF, the pellet sup-
ply motor (M33) is stopped instantly.
• During initialization and printing operations, the front door lock solenoid (SD80), book door solenoid (SD61)
turn ON, and disables the stacker door to open/close. During idling, jam occurrence or in service mode,
SD80 and SD61 turn OFF and open/close of the front door is enabled.
• A message is displayed in the touch panel when the stacker door sensor (PS57) switches from on to off.

D. Paper feed direction

When the direction in which paper is fed is in parallel with the longer side of paper, the
paper feed direction like this is referred to as the longitudinal feed.
And the paper feed direction that is perpendicular to the longitudinal feed is referred to as
the transverse feed.
When specifying the longitudinal feed, "S (abbreviation for Short Edge Feeding)" is added
to the paper size. For the transverse feed, no specific notation is employed.
However, when only the longitudinal feed is specified for one and the same paper size with
no specification made for the transverse feed, "S" is not added even when being fed longi-
tudinally.

3.3.2 Conditions for life specifications values

The replacement cycles (number of prints) are values calculated based on the actual life of parts when printing is
made under the conditions listed in the table below. Since the idle running time (when not creating an image) of
each part can vary widely depending on the print mode, the actual life cycle may become different between the
parts whose replacement cycle (number of sheets) are the same.

bizhub PRO C6501
4.3.1 Outline
"Mail remote notification system" is a system that allows you to obtain a list print which can be output by the
main body using the Internet mail (E-mail).
Using this system dispenses not only with printing the list on paper but also visiting the users.
Sending a mail filled-in with a simple keyword to the main body allows you to receive by mail all sorts of list print
information of the main body.
4.3.2 Operating environments

In order to use the functions of "Mail remote notification system", the following conditions must be met. The
operation of the functions is available while in jams, malfunction and a low power mode. A mail sent to the main
body that is not operating does not get lost, but it is handled when the main body is activated again.
(1) The main body has a server that can receive a mail using POP3 or IMAP protocol.
(2) The main body has a mail server that can send a mail using SMTP protocol.
(3) In the following 4 cases, "Mail remote notification system" does not operate in the main body.
• When the main power switch (SW1) is turned off.
• When the power switch (SW2) is turned off.
• While the main body is in auto shut-off.
• When the "Enhance Security Mode" is set to ON (the use of the main body NIC is not allowed.)
4.3.3 Major functions

Sending a mail with a simple keyword allows you to use the following functions.
(1) The list print information of the main body you want to obtain can be received by mail.
List prints that can be obtained are the following 11 lists.
• Mode memory list
• User setting list
• Font pattern list
• Management list
• Adjustment list
• Use management list
• Counter list
• Coverage Data list
• Parameter List
• Communication log list
• Audit log report
(2) The counter list can be checked by cellular phone.
(3) A password used for certification of a mail can be changed.
(4) Directions for use of "Mail remote notification system" can be received by mail.
To make use of the above functions, it is necessary to send a mail to the main body with a simple
keyword (command).

4.4 Job history list
/C6501P/C65hc/C5501
bizhub PRO C6501
4.4.1 OUTLINE
"Job History List" is the function to refer to the output history of the copier by using Web browser. The job history
displayed on the operation panel is stored in the memory and deleted when the SW2 is turned OFF. However,
with this function, the job history is stored in the optional hard disk unit (HD-506) so that the users can refer it
even after the SW is turned OFF.
4.4.2 Major functions

The job history list allows you to use the following functions.
• Displaying and downloading of job history by 100 data.
• Saving of the job history up to 1 million. (The number of histories to save is selectable from 100, 500 thou-
sand or 1 million. Select 0 to turn OFF the job history utility.)
• Up to 10 types (A to J) of setting files can be imported from the CE page.
• The contents displayed can be changed for each of the 10 setting files (A to J).
Note
• The history data displayed on the output history list of the main body when the job is completed is
stored in HD-506. Therefore the data is not stored in case the job is stopped, proof is output or jam
is caused.
• Sending history of the scanned information (Scan to E-mail, Scan to FTP, Scan to SMB, and so on)
is not saved.
• The history data is stored only in Bk of HD-506. Therefore, the data can not recover if the hard
disk of Bk is damaged.
4.4.3 Setting method

When using the Job history list in default setting, the 4 items of job history are displayed. However by importing
the customized setting file, other items can be displayed. For the information about getting this setting file and
the editor commands, contact the Support section of the authorized distributor.
The following are the display items of job history in the initialization

1440 (maximum) specification is made, 90 minutes are employed.
When the time period after CE sends out a mail until the main body
receive the mail exceeds the time specified here, ISW is not con-
ducted.
e.g.) ISW I0 5
ISWHELP (Not specified) A help mail that describes the usage of the commands above is
returned.
126
When firmware file name is not specified, it will be rewritten in the following files saved in the program server.

• The number of commands that can be written down on a mail is only 1. When 2 or more com-
mands are written down, the second and the succeeding commands are ignored.
(3) Return mail

In the following cases, a mail is returned from the main body.
• After receiving an ISW start mail, the main body starts ISW. (A command sent and the firmware version
before ISW are written down.)
• When the ISW completed (sent command and the firmware version after ISW will be listed)
• When the time of validity of the mail expires. (A command sent is written down.)
5.4.6 Notes for use

(1) Notice to the administrator
When conducting the Internet ISW, be sure to notify the administrator of it and get approval from administrator in
advance.
Be sure to execute ISW with the main body not used. However, when the main body is in use (jobs present), the
Internet ISW does not operate.
(2) Power cut while in the ISW

While in the ISW rewrite, the operation panel and the power switch (SW2) are locked. However, when the main
power source is turned off due to power cut etc., the main body cannot start up.
However, this is a problem encountered while in the overall control board (OACB) rewrite. As for other errors
while in the ISW, they can be rewritten by the Internet ISW again.
Should the main body be not able to start due to the reason above, go to the actual place and use ISWTrns to
conduct the rewrite of the program.

proxy of a client who receives an access demand (HTTP and FTP) from the client.
B. Authentication of the proxy server

There are 4 types of authentication methods for the proxy server.
The Internet ISW is corresponding to these 4 types.
C. Authentication type of the proxy server and the command list

(1) Type 1: User user@host
When accessing the outside through the proxy, authentication to the proxy server is not required.
When accessing the outside through the proxy server, the entry of the user name and password of the proxy
server is not required, this proxy authentication is likely to be used.
Command
Command Parameter Reply Code Description
USER User@host 331 Transmit the user name of the program server and the
program server address
PASS password 230 Transmit the password for the user name above
(2) Type 2: OPEN host

This is almost the same as the type 1, except for the exchange of commands while in authentication.
When all the settings are made correctly and no communication is available with type 1 authentication, apply this
type.
Command
OPEN host ftp expanded Transmit the program server address
function, defined
for each server
USER user 331 Transmit the user name of the program server
130
(3) Type 3: FW user = > FW password = > SITE host
/C6501P/C65hc/C5501
This is a type that requires the authentication to the proxy server itself when accessing the outside.
bizhub PRO C6501

The information of the server you want to access, the user name and password of the proxy server (F/W) are
necessary.
In the case of the user name and the password of the proxy server are required when accessing the outside
through
the proxy server, this proxy authentication is likely to be used.
Command
USER FW user 331 Transmit the user name of the proxy server
PASS FW password 230 Transmit the password for the user name above
SITE host ftp expanded Transmit the program server address
function, defined
for each server
USER user 331 Transmit the user name of the program server
(4) Type 4: FW user = > FW password = > USER user @host

This is almost the same as the type 3, except for the exchange of commands while in authentication.
When all the settings are made correctly and no communication is available with type 3 authentication, apply this
type.
Command
USER FW user 331 Transmit the user name of the proxy server
PASS FW password 230 Transmit the password for the user name above
USER user@host name 331 Transmit the user name of the program server and the
program server address
D. Remark
For fwtk2.1 (for Unix) and Black Jumbo Dog (for Windows), the type 1 authentication is used. For most of the
proxy servers, the type 1 authentication is used. When the authentication type of the proxy server is not known,
you are recommended to make settings in type 1 authentication as a temporary measure.

3. Is any equipment that repeatedly consumes a lot of electricity connected to the same power supply? (e.g.:
Electric noise sources such as elevator and air conditioner)
4. Are environmental conditions suitable for the machine?
• High temperature and high humidity, direct sunlight, air ventilation, etc.
• Levelness of the location on which the machine is installed.
5. Does the cause of poor images lie in the original itself?
6. Is density selected properly?
7. Is the original glass stained?
8. Is proper paper used for copy?
9. Are copy consumable replaced with new ones at their life? (e.g.: Developer, drum, cleaning blade, etc)
10. Is toner filled?
B. Checkpoints when conductions on-site service

Due attention should be paid to the following when repairing the machine.
1. Be sure to unplug the power cord from the power outlet. Also, when operating the machine with the power
supplied, be careful of the scan of the exposure unit and be sure not to get caught by the gear.
2. The fusing section may be very hot. Be careful not to get burnt when handling it.

9.7.4 Adjustment when replacing multi feed detection board (PF)

/C6501P/C65hc/C5501
Perform this adjustment when replacing the PF multi feed detection board (MFDTB) or the PF drive board
bizhub PRO C6501
(PFDB), as well as when multi feeding is not detected properly for special papers (thin paper, thin coated paper,
thick paper, etc.).
Note
• Be sure to perform the adjustment under normal room temperature (20 to 30 °C) that is similar to
the real environment where the machine is operated because the temperature sensor output level
varies with its surface temperature. (When you bring in a replacement part from a place under a
different temperature, leave the part and wait for the sensor surface temperature to reach the
room temperature before performing the adjustment.)
A. Procedure
1. Turn off the sub power switch.

2. Open the front door [1] of the PF, and open the jam
[1]
processing guides PF2 [2] and PF5 [3] in the hori-
zontal conveyance section.
[3] [2]
a03uf3c025ca
3. Insert a sheet of paper [1] (part no. 65AA-991#, fus-

[4] [1]
ing adjustment paper, 16 sheets/A3) while turning
the nkob PF4 [2], and close the jam processing
guides PF2 [3] and PF5 [4].
[3] [2]
a03uf3c026ca
4. Turn on the sub power switch and enter the I/O check mode.

/C6501P/C65hc/C5501
bizhub PRO C6501
8. Press Start button to enter the output check mode,
[3]
and connect the tester (voltmeter) to the following
pins on the PFDB.
Positive terminal: Test pin No. TP10 (sensor output)
[1]
Negative terminal: Test pin No. TP8 (SGND) [2]
Range: DC 20 V
Note
• Do not allow the tester pin to touch or connect
to metal parts on the board nor irrelevant termi-
nals as the PF is energized. It may cause short-
circuit and damage the board.
[2] [1]
a03uf3c033ca
9. Turn the PFDB volume (VR) [3] so that the voltage falls within the standard value.
Standard value: 8.0 ± 0.2 V
10. Press Stop key and remove the paper inserted in Step 2.

as well as when multi feeding is not detected properly for special papers (thin paper, thin coated paper, thick
paper, etc.).
Note
• Be sure to perform the adjustment under normal room temperature (20 to 30 °C) that is similar to
the real environment where the machine is operated because the temperature sensor output var-
ies with its surface temperature. ( When you bring in a replacement part from a place under a dif-
ferent temperature, leave the part and wait for the sensor surface temperature to reach the room
temperature before performing the adjustment.)
A. Procedure
1. Replace the multi feed detection boards /1 and /2. (Refer to “11.3.17 Removing/reinstalling the multi feed
detection boards /1 (MFDB/1) and /2 (MFDB/2)” in Theory of Operation for FD-503)

Performs continuous print operation test.
The following tests can be selected from this mode.
Note
• Any operation related with the scanner is not allowed in C6501P/C65hc (printer version).
• Intermittent copy mode

After completion of the printing operation for the set print count, the machine changes into the ready state
and waits for 0.5 sec. before resuming the same operation.
• Paperless running mode
Without detecting paper or jam, the printing operation is made nearly at the same timing as the normal
operation. In the same manner as the intermittent mode, after completion of the printing operation for the
set print count, the machine changes into the ready state and waits for 0.5 sec. before resuming the same
operation.
• Paperless mode
Without detecting paper or jam, the printing operation is made nearly at the same timing as the normal
operation.
• Paperless endless mode
The machine operates with the print count infinitely set automatically. In the same manner as the paperless
mode, without detecting paper or jam, the printing operation is made nearly at the same timing as the nor-
mal operation.

height of the upper limit sensor mounting plate [1].
Note
• The upper limit sensor mounting plate [1]
goes up by tightening the screw [4], and it
goes down by loosening the screw.
[6] [5]
Reference
• Raising the position of the upper limit sensor
brings down the pick-up roller [5] (resulting in
the increased difference [7] of elevation
[7] between the paper feed roller [6] and the
pick-up roller [5]).
• Lowering the position of the upper limit sen-
sor brings up the pick-up roller [5] (resulting
a03xf3c007ca
in the reduced difference [7] of elevation
between the paper feed roller [6] and the
pick-up roller [5]).
• When the printed page is folded, when paper
jam occurs frequently, or when feeding paper
with a large amount of curl, raise the upper
limit sensor mounting plate.
• When feeding convexly curled paper, lower
the upper limit sensor mounting plate.
12. After the completion of the adjustment, fasten the

screw [3] to secure the upper limit mounting plate

10.3.3 Separation pressure adjustment

/C6501P/C65hc/C5501
bizhub PRO C6501
Perform the adjustment when no feed or multi-feed occurs frequently.
Note
• The no-feed or multi-feed error is most likely to occur due to paper type or operating environment.
No feed tends to occur in low temperature environment, whereas high temperature environment
results in a higher rate of multi-feed.
• Do not make an excessive adjustment. Doing so may reverse the respective symptoms.
A. Procedure

2. Change the position of the spring adjustment
lever [1]. Slide the lever in the direction indicated
with [2] to increase the separation pressure. Slide
it in the direction indicated with [3] to reduce the
separation pressure.
Reduced pressure: lowers multi-feed rate.
Increased pressure: lowers no feed rate.
Reference
• The pressure applied to the spring increases/
[1] decreases by about 10% increment.
3. Close the tray and make a copy/print to confirm

that papers are fed properly.

/C6501P/C65hc/C5501
bizhub PRO C6501
Perform the adjustment when the unit is not placed horizontally, or when the height/tilt of the unit is different from
that of the main body.
Note
• Horizontal adjustment may displace the unit position relative to the main body. When the adjust-
ment is completed, be sure to make a test copy/print to see if papers are properly fed from the PF.
A. Procedure
1. Turn off the power switch (SW2) and the main
the power cord of the main body from the power
outlet.
2. Turn the 4 nuts [2] of the adjusters [1] with a
wrench to adjust the levelness of the unit.
Note
• Be sure to take the height against the main
body into account when making the adjust-
ment.
3. Turn the 4 nuts [2] of the adjusters [1] slightly to

see if there are any adjuster(s) that are off the
[1] [2] ground.
Note
• If there are adjuster(s) that are off the ground,

10.4.1 Separation pressure adjustment
Conduct the separation pressure adjustment when there occurs a no feed or double feed condition repeatedly.
Note
• Do not make an excessive adjustment. Doing so may reverse the symptoms.
• Paper type and ambient temperature/humidity can be a major cause of the no-feed or multi-feed
jam. For example, no-feed jam tends to occur in low temperature, and multi-feed jam does in high
temperature. Make sure to carry out this adjustment with that in mind.
A. Procedure
1. Remove the LU from the main body.
2. Disconnect the hooked end [1] of the spring from
the tab, and attach it to another tab on the left [2]
or right [3] side of the center tab to raise or reduce
the separation pressure.
Note
• The 5 tabs correspond to 5 pressure levels.
Attach the hooked end of the spring to a tab
on the [2] side to raise the pressure, or attach
[1] it to a tab on the [3] side to reduce the pres-
sure.
Reducing pressure: lowers multi-feed jam
rate.
Raising pressure: lowers no-feed jam rate.
[2] [3] • The spring force changes in increments of
about 10%.

• Raising the stopper brings the cover paper
glue roller closer to the book spine and it
makes the scraped-off glue amount larger,
which reduces the glue amount applied to the
book spine.
The applied glue is thin and the cover doesn't

stick to the book body.
• Lowering the stopper increases the glue
[2] [1] amount applied to the book spine (the gap

For those abnormalities listed in the table below, defective units can be detached temporarily to use other con-
bizhub PRO C6501

trol units manually. While detached, an error detection is not carried out on these detached units.
There are 2 methods of detaching defective sections.
(1) User operation

When a malfunction code occurs, press the HELP key following the message on the touch panel and then turn
the power switch (SW2) OFF and ON. This allows you to use it temporarily until the main power switch (SW1) is
OFF and ON (including an OFF/ON operation by the weekly timer) next time.
(2) DIPSW setting

Turning the main switch (SW1) OFF and ON after setting the specified software DIPSW bit allows you to make a
limited use of it until the bit setting is released next time.
