5. OPERATIONS
5.1. Procedure and method
5.1.1 Activating power
Turn the power switch on.
Remarks
Before turning the power switch to ON, make sure that the paper feed, auxiliary and stacking tables are fully inserted.
Power Switch
5.1.2 Setting of paper on feed tables
(1) Load paper on the paper feed tables and hold it firmly using the lateral paper guides.
Note
[How to fan out sheets]
①
Pinch the sheets of paper at both ends.
②
Bend them to admit air.
(Loosen the force lightly and pinch them again after bending)
③
Jog and align the sheets vertically.
Remarks
a) Use the fill line on the paper guide as the loading capacity. In case of printed paper, do not load too much as it tends to swell. b) Fan out sheets well and then load them on the feed table. Failure to properly fan sheets may lead to trouble. c) Align sheets at the edges and insert them until they lightly strike the forward guide. Failure to properly align sheets may lead to double feed or no feed. d) Make sure any ink on the paper is dry. Let ink dry before loading paper. Wet ink soils the feed rollers and can lead to malfunction, such as double feed or no feed. e) Copied sheets may cause wrong feed or stacking error owing to electrostatic charge. Static electricity can be controlled by spraying a retail static eliminator on the feed rollers and the front edge of the paper. Too, since copied sheets are apt to curl at the edges; straighten or invert them before feed table loading. f) Be sure to load no-carbon-required paper (general quality) with the color developing side (usually the print side) down, otherwise the side coated with color former will probably be marked with rubbed traces when contacting the feed roller. g) Front and back sides of ejected paper change according to ejected direction (with independent use or when connected). Be very careful when connecting with after processing equipment.
19
(2) Paper loading order
1) Paper with the printed side down
Load the paper on the feed tables from bottom to top in ascending order of pages.
In this case Page 1 appears at the top of collated sheets on the stacking table.
2) Paper with the printed side up
Load the paper on the feed tables from top to bottom in ascending order of pages. Paper is fed to the stacking table turned over.
In this case Page 1 is at the bottom of collated sheets on the stacking table.
5.1.3 Setting of stacking guides, poles, etc.
Set the right and left side guides, stacking poles (two) and stacking end guide, respectively according to paper size. If the paper is caught by the guides or not properly aligned, make fine adjustments by moving the guides forward or backward, right or left.
Tighten a stopper plate knob and fix stacking end guide.
Stacking end guide
Stopper plate knob

Stopper plate knob
Loosen
Tighten
Remarks a) With postcards or organizer-notebook size paper, only straight stacking is recommended. b) Stacking arrangement changes according to the collating speed. With high-speed collation, ejected paper rebounds more strongly when striking the stacking end guide or pole, causing greater disorder. In case of warped paper, the faster collation becomes, the more it is apt to roll, worsening the arrangement.
However, since, owing to various factors, collation is not always better when stacked slowly, collation speed should be set case by case.
Paper type -- sturdy or easily torn -- also affects collation and stacking.
Note a) In case of improper stacking
Set the standard on the positioning gauge for the pole guide shown on the stacking table and move the pole guide to the left (to narrow the gap between pole guide and collated paper).
Move the right and left side guides uniformly inward (to narrow the gap between pole and paper) based on the positioning gauge. Adjust the positioning guides gradually rather than all the way at once while checking stacked paper alignment. b) In case of paper jam frequently occurs on stacker
Set the standard on the positioning gauge for the pole guide shown on the stacking table and move the pole guide to the right (to broaden the gap between pole guide and collated paper).
Move the right and left side guides uniformly outward (to broaden the gap between pole and paper) based on the positioning gauge. Adjust the positioning guides gradually rather than all the way at once while checking stacked paper alignment.
5.1.4 Collation
(1) Press the CHECK key for trial paper feed. The feed tables will automatically rise and each will feed one sheet of paper (set of collated sheets).
Make sure there is no error in the direction and order of pages and no feeding error.
(2) If all is in order, press the START/STOP key to begin collating.
To halt collation, press the START /STOP key.
Remarks
a) Do not turn off the power switch while paper feed is in progress. b) If there is any empty feed, the last collated set may have missing pages. Add the missing pages.
The collated set with missing pages will not be counted.
Note
a) If the last sheet remains on a feed table, place several blank sheets under the remaining sheet. b) In case delivered paper is not properly stacked, refer to “5.1.3 Setting of stacking guide, sheet stopper.” and make adjustment according to it.
21
5.2 Counter
5.2.1 Using adding mode

6. MAINTENANCE, INSPECTION, CONSUMABLES
6.1 Important for maintenance and inspection
Caution
When conducting inspections and maintenance, be sure to remove the power plug from the outlet. If not, it may cause injury or electric shock.
6.2 Usual maintenance
・
Cleaning of paper feed rubber roller and separator is recommended from time to time (as required).
(1) Remove the paper feed tables and auxiliary tables. While holding the paper feed shaft, push it in to the left, then pull it toward the front.
(2) After removing the paper feed shaft, clean its three rubber rollers.
(3) Draw out the separator in the direction of the white arrow shown in the figure below, and clean the rubber portion.
(4) Install the paper feed shaft in the way reverse to how
it was removed.
Separator
Should trouble such as double feed, no feed, etc. occur after cleaning, the rubber paper feed rollers and separator are worn. Replace them with new ones referring to the previous page.
When the paper feed rubber rollers are replaced, mount them on the paper feed rollers holders so that the white dot of the rubber rollers is on the right-hand side. In addition, after mounting the paper feed rollers on their holders, roll them on a flat surface such as a desktop to make sure they are mounted horizontally. If mounted askew, problems like paper feed failure or double feed may occur. Be watchful of the paper detection wire when replacing the feed rollers.
Cleaning the exterior
Wipe off any stains using a cloth dampened with diluted neutral detergent and wrung tightly.
Remarks
Do not use solvent cleaning liquids as they may cause discoloring.
30
Cleaning of
discharged sheet photo sensor
When the paper dust adheres to the surface of the discharge photo sensor (contained in the part indicated by the arrow shown in the figure below) and will shut off the sensor light, it becomes paper discharge jam.
Please regularly clean the paper output photo sensor.
How to Clean:
Put a cotton swab from the “eye hole” of paper ejection guide, to clean the surface of the photo sensor.
The discharged sheet photo sensor (a miniature bulb of approximately 5 mm in diameter) is visible from the “eye hole.”
Cotton swab
Eye hole
Caution!
Make sure that the paper feed table, the auxiliary table and the stacking table are properly set. They may cause an injury if they come off. Also, take care not to cause the machine to fall when attaching or removing the stacking table and auxiliary table.
・
How to set of Paper feed table
First, make sure the table lift lever is in its low position. If it is not, turn the power switch on and press the Reset key for three seconds or more to lower the lever. Normally, the lever is below the paper feed table; by lifting the lever, the feed table will rise. If the lever is higher than the table, paper cannot be fed as the table cannot be raised.
Insert the right side shaft of the paper feed table in the hole on the side opposite the collator operation side, and mount the left shaft on the plate with the U-shape slot.
Fit the auxiliary table slots (two places) on both side shafts of the paper feed table.
Caution
!
Do not use the collator with the paper feed table removed.
Be very cautious not to get fingers pinched between the paper feed rollers when the collator starts to operate.
