 Introduction

The following rules apply throughout this Service Manual:

1. Each chapter contains sections explaining the purpose of specific functions and the relationship between electrical and mechanical systems with refer-
ence to the timing of operation.
In the diagrams, represents the path of mechanical drive; where a signal name accompanies the symbol , the arrow indicates the
direction of the electric signal.
The expression "turn on the power" means flipping on the power switch, closing the front door, and closing the delivery unit door, which results in
supplying the machine with power.
2. In the digital circuits, '1'is used to indicate that the voltage level of a given signal is "High", while '0' is used to indicate "Low".(The voltage value, how-
ever, differs from circuit to circuit.) In addition, the asterisk (*) as in "DRMD*" indicates that the DRMD signal goes on when '0'.
In practically all cases, the internal mechanisms of a microprocessor cannot be checked in the field. Therefore, the operations of the microprocessors
used in the machines are not discussed: they are explained in terms of from sensors to the input of the DC controller PCB and from the output of the
DC controller PCB to the loads.

The descriptions in this Service Manual are subject to change without notice for product improvement or other purposes, and major changes will be com-
municated in the form of Service Information bulletins.
All service persons are expected to have a good understanding of the contents of this Service Manual and all relevant Service Information bulletins and be
able to identify and isolate faults in the machine."

2.1.2 Overview of the Electrical Circuitry (Finisher Unit)

0023-6376

The finisher's sequence of operation is controlled by the finisher controller PCB. The finisher controller PCB is a 16-bit microprocessor (CPU), and is used for
communication with the host machine (serial) in addition to controlling the finisher's sequence of operations.
The finisher controller PCB responds to the various commands coming from the host machine through a serial communications line to drive solenoids, motors, and
other loads. In addition, it communicates the finisher's various states (information on sensors and switches) to the host machine through a serial communications
circuit.
In the case of the Saddle Finisher, the finisher controller PCB not only communicates with the saddle stitcher controller PCB but also communicates the saddle
stitcher unit's various states (information on sensors and switches) to the host machine.
The ICs used on the finisher controller PCB are designed for the following:
<IC101 (CPU)>
Controls sequence of operations.
Contains sequence programs.
<IC106 (EEP-ROM)>
Backs up adjustment values.
Backs up initial setting data.
<IC102 (communications IC)>
Communicates with the host machine and the saddle stitcher unit.
<IC107 (regulator IC)>

2.2 Feed Drive System

2.2.1 Overview
0023-6386

This product consists of the Finisher unit and the Saddle Stitcher unit.
The Finisher unit simply stacks sheets delivered from a host machine, offsets a stack job, or staples and delivers the sheets to the trays according to commands
delivered from a host machine.
The Saddle Stitcher unit carries in, aligns, and stitches sheets delivered from the host machine, and then feeds the resulting stack. After these operations, it folds a
stack of sheets and delivers it to the delivery trays of the Saddle Stitcher unit.
There are four delivery methods.

2.2.2 Constraction of the Control System (Finisher Unit)

0023-6390

The copy sent from the host machine is delivered to the ejection tray, processing tray, or saddle stitcher according to the ejection type. Job offset or stapling is
performed, according to the instruction from the host machine, for copy delivered to the staple tray.
When ejecting from the processing tray, rear end assist guide is used in addition to the stack ejection roller to eject the stack.
The inlet motor (M101), stack ejection motor (M102), and rear end assist motor (M109) are step motors. These motors are rotated forward or backward by the
microcomputer (CPU) in the finisher controller PCB.
The following two sensors are provided in the copy delivery path to detect the arrival or passing of copies.
Inlet sensor (PI103)
Delivery path sensor (PI104)
Also, each ejection tray has sensors to detect the presence of copy on the tray.
First tray paper sensor (PI111)
Second tray paper sensor (PI112)
If the copy does not reaches or passes each sensor within prescribed time, the finisher controller PCB determines that the jam has occurred and stops the operation.
Then it notifies the host machine that a jam has occurred. When all of the doors are closed after fixing the jam, the finisher checks whether copy is detected by any
of the above two sensors (inlet sensor, delivery path sensor). If any of the sensors detects a copy, the finisher determines that the jam is not fixed and sends jam
processing signal to the host machine once more.

<Buffer/Processing Tray Path>

This is the copy ejection path when the equipment is set to sort for A4, B5, or LTR paper size. Feed two sheets of paper to buffer (two or three sheets if 2-point
stapling). Then they are aligned and stapled in the processing tray and ejected. Even while stapling or offset is being performed, simultaneous stack ejection, which
simultaneously ejects copies delivered to the buffer and post processed stack in the processing tray, is performed because copies are received continuously from the
host machine. The stack delivered from the buffer is ejected to the processing tray and the stack processed in the processing tray is ejected to the tray.
Simultaneous stack ejection operation is described below for two A4 copies between stacks when the equipment is set to sort.

1) When the 1st paper reaches the switchback point, it is sent to the buffer unit and the rear end of the paper is held by the buffer guide.

2.2.4 Constraction of the Control System (Saddle Stitcher Unit)

0023-6395

The paper output mechanism serves to keep a stack of sheets coming from the finisher in place for the next steps (stapling, folding).
The paper inlet is equipped with the No.1 flapper and the No.2 flapper, which operate to configure the paper path to suit the size of paper. The paper positioning
plate is kept in wait at a predetermined location to suit the size of paper. The paper positioning plate is driven by the paper positioning plate motor (M4), and the
position of the plate is identified in reference to the number of motor pulses coming from the paper positioning plate home position sensor (PI7). A sheet moved by
the inlet roller is handled by the feed rollers and the crescent roller and held in a predetermined position. The feed plate serve to move sheets by coming into contact
with or moving away from sheets as needed.
The alignment plates put the stack into order each time a sheet is output. The alignment plates are driven by the alignment motor (M5), whose position is identified
in reference to the number of motor pulses coming from the alignment plate home position sensor (PI5).
To prevent interference between paper and the paper folding rollers when the paper is being output, the folding rollers are designed to be covered by a guide plate.
The guide plate moves down before paper is folded so as to expose the paper folding rollers.
The inlet is equipped with the No.1, No.2 and No.3 paper sensors (PI18, PI19, PI20) each suited to a specific paper size, and the paper positioning plate is equipped
with a paper positioning plate paper sensor (PI8).

2.2.6 Controlling the Change of the Gear

0023-6397

<Overview>
The machine shifts down the gear of the inlet motor (M101) to suit the movement of paper (e.g., heavy paper in color mode) arriving from its host machine at 132
mm/sec or slower, and the finisher controller PCB serves to control this mechanism.
When the finisher controller PCB receives the operation start signal from the host machine, it turns on the gear change motor (M110) to switch from high- to lower-
speed gear by way of the rack gear/2-step gear. The home position of the gear change motor (M110) is monitored by the gear change home position sensor (PI117).
When a switchover has been made from high- to low speed gear, the finisher controller PCB drives the inlet motor (M101) to start delivery of paper. When the
trailing edge of paper reaches the buffer assembly, the machine stops the paper once, and drives the gear change motor (M110) to switch over from low- to high-
speed gear. Thereafter, the machine performs normal stacking operation for the paper.

2.2.7 Basic Operation (Saddle Stitcher Unit)

0023-6398

<Receiving Sheets>
The stitcher unit receives sheets from the finisher unit and outputs them inside the vertical path in vertical orientation.
The vertical path, while sheets are being output, is configured by two paper deflecting plates.
The position of the sheets being output is set by the paper positioning plate so that the center of the stack matches the stapling/folding position.
Sheets coming later are output closer to the delivery slot, and the volume of paper that may be output is as follows:

<Stitching>
When all sheets have been output, the two stitchers stitch the stack. The stitchers are positioned so that they face the center of a stack.
The two stitchers are not operated simultaneously so as to prevent the paper from wrinkling between two staples and to limit the load on the power supply.
If only one sheet of paper arrives from the host machine, stitching does not take place and the sequence goes to the next operation (stack feeding).

<Feeding the Stack>

The unit folds the stitched stack of sheets, and then feeds it to the point of delivery. This point is where the center of the stack, i.e., stapling position, matches the
height of the paper pushing plate and the paper folding roller nip.
The stack is moved forward by operating the paper positioning plate. When the plate is operated, the guide plate which has been covering the paper folding rollers,
also moves down so that the paper folding rollers directly face the stack.

<Folding/Delivering the Stack>

The paper pushing plate pushes against the center of the stack to move it in the direction of the paper folding rollers. In response, the paper folding rollers pick the
stack along its center and fold it in two. The paper folding rollers together with the delivery roller then move the stack along to output it on the delivery tray.

2.2.8 Controlling the Inlet Flappers

0023-6399

<Overview>
The two flappers mounted at the paper inlet are operated to configure the feed path according to the size of paper. The flappers are used to enable the following:
1. To detect the passage of the trailing edge of the paper being moved by an appropriate sensor.
2. To prevent the following sheet from butting against the top of the existing stack,
The following table shows the relationship between sensors and paper sizes.

2.2.9 Controlling the Movement of Sheets

0023-6400

When the leading edge of a sheet has moved past the inlet flapper, the intermediate feed roller and the crescent roller start to move the sheet forward.
The intermediate feed roller is normally not in contact with the path bed. When the leading edge of a sheet reaches the intermediate feed roller contact section, the
feed plate contact solenoid (SL4) causes the roller to come into contact with the path bed so as to move the sheet. The contact is broken as soon as the leading edge
of the sheet reaches the paper positioning
plate. This series of operations is executed each time a sheet arrives.
When the leading edge of the first sheet reaches the paper positioning plate, the paper positioning plate paper sensor (PI8) turns ON. The arrival of the second and
subsequent sheets will not be checked since the first sheet will still be over the sensor.
The crescent roller keeps rotating while sheets are being output, butting the leading edge of each sheet against the paper positioning plate, and ultimately, keeping
the leading edge of the stack in order.
The alignment motor (M5) drives the alignment plates for each sheet so as to put both left and right edges of the sheet in order.

1) The solenoid turns ON while paper is being moved so that the feed plate comes into contact.

2.2.10 Controlling the Aligning the Sheets

0023-6401

The alignment motor (M5) drives the alignment plates each time a sheet is output, putting both left and right edges of the sheet in order. The alignment plate motor
is a 4-phase stepping motor. The position of the alignment plate is identified in reference to the number of motor pulses from the alignment plate home position
sensor (PI5).
The following briefly describes what takes place when the saddle stitching mechanism operates on two sheets.

1) When the first sheet has been output, the alignment plates butt against the left and right edges of the stack (first alignment). The alignment plates leave the home
position in advance and remain in wait at points 10 mm from the edges of the stack.

2.2.11 Controlling the Phase of the Crescent Roller

0023-6402

If alignment was executed with the crescent roller in contact with the stack of sheets, the resulting friction against the roller causes the stack to move inappropriately.
To prevent this problem, the phase of the roller is identified and used to determine the timing of alignment.
The phase of the crescent roller is identified by the crescent roller phase sensor (PI12). The flag for the crescent roller phase sensor is mounted to the crescent roller
shaft. The flag will leave the sensor while the roller shaft rotates, turning the sensor ON or OFF, enabling the assumption that the crescent roller is positioned at the
opposite side of the stack. The alignment plates are operated to correspond with this change in the state of the sensor.

2.2.12 Overview of Folding Operation

0023-6403

The paper folding mechanism consists of a guide plate, paper folding rollers, paper pushing plate, and paper positioning plate.
The guide plate is used to cover the folding rollers while sheets are output so as to prevent sheets from coming into contact with the folding rollers during output.
Before the stack is folded, the guide plate moves down to enable the folding rollers to operate.
The following shows the names and the functions of the motors and sensors used by the paper folding mechanism:

2.2.13 Controlling the Movement of Stacks

0023-6404

When a stack has been stitched (2 points), the paper positioning plate lowers so that the stack will move to where the paper folding rollers come into contact with
the stack and where the paper pushing plate is located. The position of the paper positioning plate is controlled in reference to the number of motor pulses coming
from the paper positioning home position sensor (PI7).
At the same time as the paper positioning plate operates, the guide plate lowers so that folding may take place.

2.2.14 Folding a Stack

0023-6405

A stack is folded by the action of the paper folding rollers and the paper pushing plate.
The paper pushing plate pushes against the center of a stack toward the roller contact section. The paper pushing plate starts at its home position and waits at the
leading edge position until the stack has been drawn to the paper folding roller and is gripped for a length of 10 mm. When the paper folding roller has gripped the
stack for a length of about 10 mm, the paper pushing plate motor starts to rotate once again, and the paper pushing plate returns to its home position. The stack
gripped in this way by the paper folding roller is drawn further by the paper folding roller and then is moved by the delivery roller to the paper tray.
The thickness of the paper folding rollers is reduced at a half of their periphery except the center area.
At the other half of the periphery, where the thickness is not reduced, the paper folding roller (upper) and the paper folding roller (lower) contact each other tightly,
and paper starts to be folded at this position. The upper and lower rollers feed paper while folding it. Also, these rollers stop at this position.
At the half periphery where the thickness is reduced, the paper folding roller (upper) and the paper folding roller (lower) do not contact each other except at the
center, so they only feed paper to prevent paper from being wrinkled.
The paper folding start position and stop position of the paper folding rollers are controlled by the number of motor pulses delivered from the paper foldimg home
position sensor (P121).

2.2.15 Double Folding a Stack

0023-6406

To fold a stack consisting of 10 or more A4R or LTR-R sheets, folding is executed twice for the same sheet.
The paper folding rollers rotate in reverse for an equivalent of 20 mm after gripping the stack for a length of 20 mm, enabling the paper folding rollers to apply an
increased degree of pressure along the crease on the stack. Then, the paper folding rollers rotate normally, and the paper pushing plate returns to its home position
while the stack is being delivered.
This way, a stack requiring a large force may properly be folded with less pressure.

0023-6411

The stack is ejected each time three large size sheets*1 or five small size sheets*2 are offset on the processing tray.
The swing motor turns and the swing guide descends. This causes the upper/lower stack delivery rollers to hold the stack. The stack delivery motor turns the stack
delivery roller and return roller. At the same time, the rear end assist guide is started by the rear end assist motor and the stack held by the stack delivery rollers is
delivered in the ejection direction. The rear end assist guide stops once it reaches the prescribed position and returns to home position when the rear end assist motor
is reversed. Then the stack delivery motor starts and ejects the stack with the upper/lower stack delivery rollers.

A. Overivew
Normally, the color-printed paper is ejected to the process tray with it rubbing against the paper loaded in the process tray, causing scrathes on the printed image.
To prevent this, the swing unit height is controlled.
B. Description of Control
When paper is ejected to the processing tray, the height of the swing unit [3] is detected with the swing height detection sensor [1] and swing height detection sensor
flag [2] in order to stop the swing unit [3] at the appropriate position, thus reducing scratches on color prints.

2.4.2 Stapler Unit

0023-6414

The staple motor (M41) is used to perform stapling operation. This motor rotates the cam one turn for stapling. The home position of this cam is detected by the
staple home position sensor (PI50).
The staple motor is rotated in the forward or reverse direction under the control of the macro computer (IC101) on the finisher controller PCB.
When the staple home position sensor is OFF, the finisher controller PCB rotates the staple motor in the forward direction until the sensor turns ON, allowing the
staple cam to the original position.
The staple sensor (PI52) is used to detect presence/absence of a staple cartridge in the machine and presence/absence of staples in the cartridge.
The staple edging sensor (PI51) is used to determine whether staples are pushed up to the top of the staple cartridge.
The finisher controller circuit does not drive the staple motor (M41) unless the staple safety switch (MS104) is ON. This assures safety in case where you happen
to put your finger in the stapler.

The stapler unit is shifted by the stapler shift motor (M105). The home position is detected by the stapler shift home position sensor (PI110). When there is a staple
command from the host machine, the stapler shifts to the staple ready position, which depends on the stapling position and paper size.
The stapler unit waits at the following points when staple mode is selected:

0023-6416

<Overview>
Stapling operation staples the prescribed number of copies with the stapler unit.
The staple position depends on the staple mode and paper size.
Whether the staple unit is at home position or not is detected by the stapler shift home position sensor (PI110).
The stapler unit is equipped with a stapler alignment interference sensor (PI116). The staple motor (M41) operation is prohibited when the stapler alignment inter-
ference sensor (PI116) is ON. This is to prevent stapling at the stopper and damaging the stopper when the stapler shift motor (M105) is incorrectly adjusted.
When the power is turned on, the finisher controller PCB drives the stapler shift motor (M105) to return the stapler unit to home position. If the stapler unit is already
at home position, it waits in that state.

<First Sheet>
The finisher controller PCB moves the stapler according to the specified stapling position.
When the rear end of the first sheet passes the 1st delivery roller, the finisher controller PCB stops the stack delivery motor (M102) and then rotates it in reverse.
The stack delivery motor rotates the stack delivery roller and return roller and delivers the paper to the processing tray. The paper in the processing tray is detected
by the processing tray paper sensor (PI108). When the paper is delivered to the processing tray, the swing motor (M106) starts and raises the swing guide. When
the swing guide home position sensor (PI105) detects the rising of the swing guide, the swing guide motor stops and holds the swing guide at the raised position.
After the processing tray paper sensor detects the paper, the aligning motor (M103/M104) starts and aligns the paper.

delivery motor is reversed. The stack delivery motor rotates the stack delivery roller (upper) and return roller and sends the paper to the processing tray. At this
point, the stack delivery roller (lower) does not rotate because the stack ejection lower roller clutch (CL102) is disengaged. The paper in the processing tray is
detected by the processing tray paper sensor (PI108).
When the paper is delivered to the processing tray, the swing motor (M106) starts and raises the swing guide. When the swing guide home position sensor (PI105)
detects the rising of the swing guide, the swing guide motor stops and holds the swing guide at the raised position.
After the processing tray paper sensor detects the paper, the aligning motor (M103/M104) starts and aligns the paper.

When alignment of the last sheet completes, the finisher controller PCB moves the aligning plate to alignment position with the aligning motor (M103/M104) (with
the paper held with the aligning plate). Then the finisher controller PCB staples at the specified staple position.
After stapling, the finisher controller PCB starts the swing motor (M106) and lowers the swing guide. Then the stack is ejected by the stack delivery roller, return
roller, and rear endassist guide.

2.4.5 Stitcher Unit

0023-6417

The stitcher base unit consists of two stitchers and stitcher bases.
The stitchers are fixed in position, and are not designed to slide or swing.
Stitching is executed by driving the rotary cam by the stitcher motor (M7, M6). The front and rear stitcher units are operated with a time delay so as to prevent
wrinkling of paper and to limit the load applied to the power supply. (A time delay for initiating the stitcher motor startup current helps decrease the load on the
power supply.)
The stitcher home position sensor (SW7, SW5) is used to monitor the movement of the rotary cam, enabling identification of individual stitcher operations. The
presence/absence of staples inside the staple cartridge fitted to the stitcher is detected by the staple sensor (SW6, SW4).
The alignment plates keep both edges of the stack in place while stitching takes place.

2.4.6 Stitching Operation

0023-6418

To enable stitching at two locations on a stack, two stitcher units (front, rear) are used. Each stitcher unit is equipped with a stitcher motor (M7, M6) for drive, a
stitcher home position sensor (SW7, SW5) for detection of position and a staple sensor (SW6, SW4) for detection of the presence/absence of staples.
The stitcher base is designed so that it may be drawn out to the front from the saddle stitcher for replacement of the staple cartridge or removal of a staple jam. The
stitcher unit in sensor (PI16) is used to make sure that the stitcher base is properly fitted to the saddle stitcher.
Safety switches are not mounted for the stitcher unit (front, rear), as the location does not allow access by the user.

2.5 Stack Tray Operation

2.5.1 Tray Operation

0023-6419

This equipment has two delivery trays. The upper tray is called tray 1 and the lower tray is called tray 2. The upper and lower tray can move up and down inde-
pendently.
The trays are moved up and down by the tray 1 shift motor (M107) and tray 2 shift motor(M38).
Tray 1 paper sensor (PI111) and tray 2 paper sensor (PI112) are provided to detect the presence of the paper stacked on the tray.
The home position of tray 1 is detected by the paper surface sensor (PI114) and the home position of tray 2 is detected by the tray 2 paper surface sensor (PI115).
The home position is the top surface of the paper if papers are already stacked on the tray, or the position where the edge of the tray is detected if no paper is stacked.
When the power is turned on, the finisher controller PCB drives the tray 1 shift motor (M107) and tray 2 shift motor (M108) to return the tray to home position. If
the tray is already at home position, it is moved out of the home position once and then returned to the home position once more. If both tray 1 and tray 2 are at
home position, this is performed for tray 1 and then for tray 2. If the tray specified by the host machine is tray 2, the finisher controller PCB shifts the tray so that
tray 2 is at delivery port.
When paper is stacked on the tray, a prescribed number of pulses drive tray 1 shift motor (M107) or tray 2 shift motor (M108) and the tray is lowered. Then the
tray returns to home position to prepare for the next stack.
The upper and lower limits of the tray are detected by three area sensors (PS981, PS982, and PS983) on tray 1 and tray 2 shift area sensor PCB. The finisher con-
troller PCB stops driving the tray 1 shift motor (M107) and tray 2 shift motor (M108) when it detects the upper or lower limit of the tray. Also, the ON/OFF com-
binations of the area sensors (PS981, PS982, PS983) are used to detect over-stacking according to the stack height for large size and mixed stacking. The following
figure shows the items detected with the ON/OFF combinations of the area sensors (PS981, PS982, PS983).
The finisher controller PCB stops supplying +24V to the tray 1 shift motor (M37) and stops the finisher operation when tray 1 switch (MS103) turns ON.

2.5.2 Shutter Operation

0023-6420

When tray 1 passes the delivery section with paper already stacked, the stacked paper may get caught by the delivery section. A shutter is provided at the delivery
section to prevent this. The shutter closes when tray 1 passes the delivery section. This is performed even when no paper is stacked.
When the shutter clutch (CL101) and stack ejection lower roller clutch (CL102) are ON, the shutter moves up (close) when the stack ejection motor (M102) turns
forward and moves down (open, delivery enabled) when the motor turns backward.
The open/close of the shutter is detected by the shutter home position sensor (PI113).

2.6 Detecting Jams

2.6.1 Detecting Jams (Finisher Unit)

0023-6421

The following sensors are used to detect the presence of paper and to determine that paper is delivered properly.
- Inlet sensor (PI103)
- Delivery sensor (PI104)
A jam is identified by checking whether paper is present at each sensor at the timing programmed in the memory of the microcomputer (CPU) on the finisher con-
troller PCB.
When the CPU identifies a jam, it suspends the finisher's delivery operation and informs the host machine DC controller of the presence of a jam. When all doors

2-39
 Chapter 2

are closed after the paper jam is removed, the finisher checks whether paper is detected by the above two sensors (inlet sensor and tray 1 delivery sensor). If the
sensors detect paper, the finisher determines that paper jam is not completely removed and sends a jam removal signal to the host machine once more.

The saddle stitcher unit identifies any of the following conditions as a jam, and sends the jam signal to the host machine. In response, the host machine may stop
copying operation and indicate the presence of a jam on its control panel.
When all doors are closed after the user has removed the jam, the saddle stitcher unit checks whether the vertical path paper sensor (PI17) has detected the presence
of paper. If the sensor has detected paper, the unit will identify the condition as being faulty jam removal and send the jam signal to the host machine once again.

2.7 Power Supply

2.7.1 Power Supply Route (Finisher Unit)

0023-6423

When the power of the host machine is turned on, 13VDC and 24VDC are supplied from the host machine to the Finisher controller PCB. 24VDC is used to drive
motors and solenoids, and 13VDC is converted into 5VDC by the regulator IC (IC107) on the Finisher controller PCB and used to drive the sensors on the PCB.
Furthermore, it is converted into 3.3VDC by the regulator IC (IC108) on the Finisher controller PCB and used to drive the ICs on the PCB. Both 13VDC and 24VDC
are also supplied from the Finisher controller PCB to the Saddle Stitcher controller PCB.
If the Puncher unit, which is an optional, is installed, they are supplied to the punch controller PCB as well.
24VDC power for motor drive is shut down when the front cover switch (MS101) is open. This is not applicable for 24VDC power for the optional puncher unit.

5.3.23 Temporary Functional Limit

0023-7058

1. Overview
The machine has a feature to temporarily enter the limited operation mode to perform only paper delivery, when an error is encountered. The machine can continue
to operate in this limited mode until the error is removed.
In the limited operation mode, stapling, alignment, and punching (only applicable when equipped with optional puncher unit) are not performed, while the inlet
sensor (PI103) and feed path sensor (PI104) remain enabled to detect any jam.
2. Operation
1) When the host machine has started up, use service mode or user mode as follows:
1-a) Service Mode
Set '1' for the following: SORTER>OPTION>MD-SPRTN.
1-b) User Mode
Press [limit function mode]; when a Confirmation screen has appeared, press [yes].
3) Turn off and then on the main power switch of the host machine.

3. Communication with the Host Machine

1) When the main power switch is turned on, the DC controller PCB will communicate to the main controller PCB that a functional limit has been imposed. The
control panel will indicate that a functional limit has been imposed on the finisher.
2) The DC controller PCB backs up information on the functional limit.
3) Each time pickup occurs, the main controller PCB communicates the presence of a functional limit to the DC controller PCB.
4) The DC controller PCB executes control only on delivery operation.
