2. Power connection

(1) Insert the power plug in its receptacle on the back of the collator.

(2) Insert the plug into the wall outlet.

Caution!

It is strongly advised not to use an extension cord or overloaded one electrical outlet, as it can cause erroneous operation.

3. Stacking table assembly

(1) Insert the 2 stacking side guides and the stacking end guide in the stacking table, making sure not to set them in the wrong direction.

(2) Insert the 2 stacking poles in the holes and fix them while sliding them along the slot.

11

4. Stacking table

(1) Fit the tumbler-shaped hooks on the stacking table into the hooks of the front foot rubber base (two places) while fitting the tip notch of the stacking table to the collator’s crisscross roller, then tilt the stacker table on either right or left side (right with the roller on the right, left when on the left), and insert the stacking table hooks in the opening on the front foot rubber base.

Make sure the hooks are firmly fitted on both right and left sides.

(2) Install the aligning wire.

[1]After installing the stacking table in the collator, insert the rear part of the aligning wire into the wire insertion hole in the collator.

[2]Pinch the bent part at the aligning wire tip with your fingers and draw it to the front. Then, fit it on the wire insertion hole in the stacking table.

[3]While pinching the wire as it is, insert the bent part at the wire tip into the wire insertion hole in the stacking table.

Remarks

a) Make sure the stacking table and aligning wire are properly attached to the machine; wrong attachment may cause the machine to rock or paper to jam when ejected. b) Take care so that fingers or hands are not caught in collator operating parts.

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.

5. OPERATIONS

5.1. Procedure and method

5.1.1. Activating power

Turn the power switch on.

Caution!

Before turning the power switch to ON, make sure that the paper feed, auxiliary and stacking tables are fully inserted.

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.

16

(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.

Note

How to load a paper with a small number of pages (using less than 10 stations)

・

In case the collator is used independently or a staple is connected with it,

Load the paper in order from the bottom (10th station).

This way prevents disorder in paper ejection and facilitates the processing speed.

・

In case optional machines are connected with the collator (another collator, namely two collators connected to be used, and a large-capacity stacker),

Load the paper in order from the top (1st station).

This way prevents paper jam.

17

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.

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.

18

(2) If all is in order, press the START/STOP key to begin collating.

To halt collation, press the START/STOP key again.

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 tables, poles, etc.” and make adjustment according to it.

5.2 Counter

5.2.1. Using adding mode

Normally, the counter operates in adding mode. Press the

START/STOP key to start collating and the machine will stop after all collated sheets are delivered.

The counter displays the number of collated sets and it will automatically stop when its displayed figure becomes

[9999]. Press the START/STOP key to continue collating, and the counter will display [0] and resume counting in adding mode.

5.2.2. Using subtracting mode

Set the number of sets to be collated by pressing numerical keys.

If the number of sets is set by pressing numerical keys, the subtracting mode lamp will automatically light up.

The counter will automatically stop when its displayed figure becomes [0]. If the START/STOP key is pressed while the machine is in operation, the machine will stop and the counter will show the number of sets remaining to be collated.

5.3 Setting collation speed

START/STOP key after pressing the CHECK key.

The collator will not restart unless the paper is checked again.

Note a) If paper is improperly set on the stacking table, select low speed for proper stacking.

b)

As for setting of processing speed, the speed applied at the time when the power supply is cut off is stored in it, the machine will start operation based on that speed the next time it will be used.

5.4 Setting normal or alternate collation mode

When collating fewer pages for many sets, Alternate mode is convenient as it loads sheets with the same page number in two neighboring stations. One machine can collate paper with up to five pages at once.

Each time paper is checked, the machine detects paper thickness and automatically adjusts the intensity of light it emits using the photo sensor. But if the light intensity initially set is too bright, the photo sensor may judge empty feed when very thin paper is fed, as the light is too strong and the sensor cannot detect the paper. In this case it is necessary to manually reprogram the intensity of light emission.

To reset light intensity, the value of system constant “P” must be changed.

Note

When paper check is repeated several times, the photo sensor will automatically adjust the light intensity to suit paper thickness.

5.11.1 Changing system constant “P”

(1) Press the 0 key for three seconds to switch to system programming mode; [P “X”] will be displayed on the

Counter (one of 1 to 9, A, b,C, d, E, F will be shown on

“X” as the present set value).

19 types can be programmed as a system constant according to the following sequence of the intensity.

WEAK STRONG

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.

・

Cleaning of paper feed rubber roller and separator is recommended from time to time (as required).

Flat head screwdriver

Separator

27

(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. If the paper feed rollers are dislocated, correct their positions; the center rubber roller should be located at the center of the separator.

(2) After removing the paper feed shaft, clean its three rubber rollers using a cloth dampened with cleaning fluid special for the collator (option). Clean the separator too, leaving it mounted on the machine while doing so.

(3) Install the paper feed shaft in the way reverse to how it was removed.

Note

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. Use a flat head screwdriver to remove the separator. Be watchful of the paper detection wire when replacing the feed rollers.

・

Cleaning the exterior

Wipe off any stains using a damp cloth.

Remarks

Do not use solvent cleaning liquids as they may cause discoloring.

6.3 Consumables

The collator’s paper feed rollers (CU 145231) and separator rubber (UC 145181) are consumable. Contact your dealer when they need replacing.
