Chapter 2 1 ADF Section

1 ADF Section
1. Description
The machine contains a ADF of the document moving type which scans images while the
document is fed. The document is illuminated with the contact image sensor(CIS) while being
transferred, and the reflection in proportion to the document image darkness is imaged on the
contact image sensor(CIS).Then the image is resoluted into picture elements and converted
photoelectrically into the level of electricity simultaneously.


The document is fed and carried by single stepping motor with one clutch to engage or disengage
the paper feed roller. The clutch is turned on only for feeding paper to engage the ADF stepping
motor with the driving system for the paper feed roller. After the document reaches the ejection
roller, the clutch is turned off to let the paper feed roller follow the movement of the document (fed
by the ejection roller).

2. Sequence of Operation

(1) Document Detection

1. Detection of the document


2. Detection of the front end of the document
3. Detection of the rear end of the document
4. Detection of the finish of the document

1. Detection of the document


The document sensor (PS1) detects the document on the document receiving tray. When
the document is placed on the document receiving tray, the document sensor (PS1) is
photointerrupted and detects the presence of the document, which turns on the ADF stepping
motor (PM1) and the ADF clutch (CL2) to feed paper.

2. Detection of the front end of the document


The document sensor (PS2) detects the front end of the document before the reading section.
When the document sensor (PS2) is photointerrupted by the document fed with the paper feed
roller, it detects the front end of the document, which turns off the ADF stepping motor (PM1) and
the ADF clutch (CL2) to hold.

3. Detection of the rear end of the document


The document sensor (PS2) also detects the rear end of the document during master making.
When the document is fed 20 mm after the rear end is detected, the reading of the document
is finished and the ADF stepping motor (PM1) changes to slower speed to eject the document.
When the document is fed approx. 20 mm after the reading is finished, the ADF stepping motor
(PM1) stops.

4. Detection of the finish of the document


The document sensor (PS1) also detects the finish of the document on the document receiving
tray. When the rear end of the last document on the document receiving tray have passed by
the document sensor (PS1), the sensor (PS1) is photoexposed and detects the finish of the
document, which prohibits feeding the next document.

(2) Basic Operation for Feeding Paper to ADF

Operation

1. Paper feed 1
When the document is placed on the document
receiving tray, the document sensor (PS1) is
photointerrupted and detects the presence of
the document, which turn on the ADF stepping
CIS
motor (PM1) and the ADF clutch (CL1) to feed


the document.

2. Positioning
When the front end of the document reaches
the document sensor 2 (PS2), the sensor 2
(PS2) is photointerrupted and detects the front
end of the document, which turns off the ADF CIS

stepping motor (PM1) and the ADF clutch (CL1)


to hold.
This assures stable positioning of the
document.

3. Paper feed 2
Pressing the MASTER MAKING key turns on
the ADF stepping motor (PM1) and the ADF
clutch (CL1) again to feed the document.
Almost simultaneously, the lamp of the CIS CIS

is lit to perform shading before the document


reaches the CIS. Reading of the document for
master making is started when the document
is fed approx. 15 mm after the ADF stepping
motor (PM1) and the ADF clutch (CL1) is
turned on.

IMPORTANT When the MASTER MAKING key is pressed,


the print section detaches the master and then
the drum moves to the master attachment
position to open the master clamp, while ADF
remains held.

(3) Operation on Continuous Master Making

1. Reading the document


When the document reaches the ejection roller
(when the document is fed 120 mm after the
ADF stepping motor (PM1) and the ADF clutch
(CL1) is turned on) , the ADF clutch (CL1) is
turned off to disengage the drive system with
the paper feed roller,which just follows the
movement of the transferred document. This
method helps eliminate the difference between
the speed of the transfer roller and the paper
feed roller.

2. Ejection
When the rear end of the document has
passed by the document sensor 2 (PS2) , the
document sensor 2 (PS2) is photoexposed
and detects the rear end of the document.
When the document is fed 20 mm after the end
of the document is detected, image reading
for master making is finished and the ADF
stepping motor (PM1) changes to slower speed
to eject the document.

3. Stop
When the document is transferred 110 mm
after the stepping motor (PM1) changes to
slower speed, the canner stepping motor (PM1)
is turned off to stop ejection.

3. Function of Parts and Circuit

(1) Operation on Continuous Master Making

Operation
1. Paper feed 1 for the second document
If the document sensor (PS1) is
photointerrupted when the document has been


ejected and master making process is finished
at the master feeding section, it is determined
that the next document exists and the ADF
stepping motor (PM1) and the ADF clutch
(CL1) are turned on to feed the document.

2. Positioning
When the front end of the document reaches
the document sensor 2 (PS2), the document
sensor 2 (PS2) is photointerrupted and detects
the front end of the document, which turns off
the ADF stepping motor (PM1) and the ADF
clutch (CL1) to hold. This method assures
stable positioning of the document.

3. Paper feed 2
When the previous document has been
printed, the ADF stepping motor (PM1) and
the ADF clutch (CL1) is turned on to feed the
document. Almost simultaneously, the lamp CIS
of the CIS is lit to perform shading before the
document reaches the CIS. Reading of the
document for master making is started when
the document is fed approx. 17 mm after the
ADF stepping motor (PM1) and the ADF clutch
(CL1) is turned on.

IMPORTANT When the MASTER MAKING key is pressed,


the print section detaches the master and then
the drum moves to the master attachment
position to open the master clamp, while ADF
remains held.

Operation
• Shading

CIS

The CIS is lit to complete shading by the time the document reaches the CIS from the holding
position. In shading, the quantity of light on the shading plate (white section) is detected to correct
any local differences in the quantity of light of the CIS and/or any changes in the quantity of light
due to time. On shading, if the received quantity of light is not greater than the specified value,
"ADF OPEN" is detected.

IMPORTANT If the shading plate is dirty, no normal correction cannot be expected. On


maintenance, take care not to damage or dirt the plate. If the plate is dirty, clean
with soft cloth not to damage it.
• Image reading

1. Description
Make the master clamp of the drum unit clamp the master top end, performing master making on the
master with the thermal head. (In this machine, the master on the drum is ejected at the same time
when master making is performed.)
The master is conveyed to the drum unit via the platen roller and sponge roller by driving of the
stepping motor, while it is being processed in the head section. Sponge roller is driven through the
master feeding clutch (electromagnetic clutch), and controls the amount of master conveyed to the
master clamp section of the drum unit with the master feeding clutch ON / OFF.
The end mark sensor starts to detect when the end mark (black) section printed on the end of the roll
master is conveyed. "ROLL MASTER END" is displayed on the error display panel. The end mark
sensor also detects whether the master is conveyed properly through the sensor.

1. Master Setting Error Detection

Operation
In master making, the end mark sensor uses amount of reflected light to detect presence or absence
of a master on the transfer path. Then the following displays and operations are performed:
● When a master setting error is detected, "MASTER SET MISS" is displayed and printing is not
processed.
● "MASTER SET MISS" is only cleared by opening and closing the top cover.
(It is not cleared by turning the power off.)
● Printing is not performed but master making is only performed when the display is cleared after
"MASTER SET MISS" is displayed. (Because the master is not attached to the drum.)

Timing
1. While master making is being processed, the reflection light amount does not turn to be in a
white level.
2. When master making process is finished (before printing process), the reflection light amount is
in a white level.

2. Master End Detection

Operation
The end mark is printed on the area about 1 m from the end of the master.
● When the end mark is detected, "ROLL-MASTER END" is displayed.
● When "ROLL-MASTER END" is displayed, master making is not performed next.

Timing
When it is considered that the end mark is read under the following conditions, "ROLL-MASTER
END" is displayed.
1. While the master is rolling up to the drum during master making, the following is checked.
2. When the master passes under the end mark sensor, the amount of reflected light is read.
3. If the following conditions are met, it is considered as master end.
White level to "0-10" and black level to "50-63".

Description
Photo-emission from the master ejection sensor is received on the master ejection sensor, and the
sensor detects with the photo strength whether the master is pulled to the master ejection box.
Photo-receiving amount is checked with the HELP-05.
HELP mode HELP-05→See page 193

1. Master Ejection Error Detection

When a master ejection error is detected, the following displays and operations are performed:
● "MAST. EJECT ERROR" is displayed on the error display panel and printing is not processed.
● "MAST. EJECT ERROR" is cleared with the ALL CLEAR key , STOP key or by performing
master making / printing.
● A master ejection error is not detected for one master making soon after a master ejection error
or master setting error is detected.

IMPORTANT If incorrect sensing occurs due to sensor malfunction, etc., HELP-32 can be used
to prohibit master ejection error sensing.
HELP mode HELP-32 →See page 219

Timing
If the variation in the amount of light received by the master ejection sensor during the making of
1 master is less than a certain level (8 in the HELP-05 display value), a master ejection error is
deemed to have occurred.

2. Rotation Control of the Master Ejection Motor


If the master ejection motor is kept rotating when the master tip end is pulled to the ejection box in
the master detachment process, the drum is actuated by the master and the stop position slips.
To prevent this, the master ejection motor is stopped when the master is detected by the master
ejection sensor. (If the master is not detected by the master ejection sensor, the master ejection
motor is stopped by the timer.)

The mode is detected under the following conditions


• A mode
When the B mode sensor (PS4) is photointerrupted, the A / C mode sensor (PS3) detects the
edge of photointerrupting →photopassing.
*With the power ON, the A mode is determined when the B mode sensor is in the photointerrupting
and the A/C mode sensor is in the photopassing state. If not in the A mode with the power ON, the
master clamp opening / closing lever rotates to the B mode and stops. When the lever stops at
the B mode, the drum rotates with the drum rotation switch and returns to the A mode at the stop
position.
• B mode
When the A/C mode sensor is photointerrupted, the B mode sensor detects the edge of

3 Paper Feed Section


1. Description
Feeding of the paper is performed by the paper separator (employing the center separation
method) and paper feed roller (there is no corner finger). Elevation of the feed tray is powered by
the elevator motor. Paper fed by the paper separator and paper feed roller is fed further by the
timing roller and guide roller to the point where its leading edge is sandwiched between the drum
and the press roller. Then the pression of the timing roller and guide roller is released (by moving
the guide roller upward several mm), so that the paper is fed through at a speed equal to the
circumferential speed of the drum and press roller. The press roller sensor senses the paper feed
condition; if a feed error occurs, the message “PAPER LEFT JAM” is displayed. For details, see “1.
Paper Jam Detection Timing” in chapter 2. →See page 78

2. Operation

(1) Rotation of the Paper Feed Roller and Timing Roller

When the main motor turns, the paper feed cam rotates, causing the paper feed segment and
timing segment to execute the reciprocating motion shown below, which turns the pinion gear.

(2) Paper Feed Roller Drive

The paper feed roller is driven by the main motor via the timing belt and the paper feed clutch. The
rotational timing depends on the ON/OFF state of the paper feed clutch and is controlled by the
program.

(3) Driving of the Timing Roller

Timing roller is actuated to rotate by the pinion gear and spring clutch. When the paper feed cam
rotates, the reciprocating motion of the timing roller segment is transmitted to the pinion gear, and
the spring clutch works to rotate the timing roller in the direction of conveyance.

(4) Escape the Guide Roller

After the press roller is pressed to the drum, the printing paper is gripped firmly with the drum and
press roller, the guide roller is released from the timing roller. This is called "escaped". Escape
timing is within a period when the printing paper is conveyed about 10 mm after it is gripped with
the drum and press roller.

IMPORTANT ● When the timing is too late, the printing paper is gripped at two places too long.
Thus master elongation and slippage occur.
● On the contrary, when the timing is too early, the printing paper is not gripped at
all, and it is not well settled. Thus creasing of paper and dispersion of the print
position occurs.

(5) Paper Feed Length

The “paper feed length” is the length by which the paper feed roller feeds out the print paper. When
the paper feed roller feeds out the print paper, the guide roller is pressed against the timing roller
and does not rotate; as a result, the paper arches up between the paper separator and the timing
roller, since the distance between these two items is only 80 mm, while the length by which the
paper is fed out from the paper feed roller is 95 mm. This arching has the effect of correcting any
skewing of the paper (as the leading edge is held firm between the guide and timing rollers). It
also has the effect of lessening the load on the timing roller when it feeds the paper through, thus
minimizing slippage.


For feed amount, the leading edge of the paper is detected by the paper feed length sensor and
paper feed is controlled by program.

IMPORTANT
● If paper feed length is too large: the arching dimension will be too large, and if the paper
is of a very stiff type, it will buckle up between the paper feed roller and the paper feed
inlet (upper), causing a PAPER JAM error ("PAPER LEFT JAM").
● If paper feed length is too small: the arching dimension will be too small, so that arching
will be unable to correct skewing of the paper, and skewing and wrinkling will be liable
to occur. Furthermore, the slippage that occurs when the timing roller feeds the paper
through will be very large, resulting in print position errors.

3. Functions of Parts

(1) Print Position Adjusting Mechanism

Print position is adjusted by changing the timing of the


paper toward the drum with the PRINT POSITION key
on the control panel.

Description
When the PRINT POSITION key on the control panel
is pressed, the link cam is driven by the motor. As the
link cam moves, the cam follower position (bearing)
from the paper feed cam changes. Accordingly drive
timing for the timing roller can be changed.

(2) Signal Lever

Description
The signal lever is positioned at the back of the Guide roller / Timing roller. Whether
the paper is fed by the Timing roller is detected mechanically.

Operation
The pinch lever is attached to the other end of the shaft to which the signal lever is attached. As the
signal lever is jumped by the paper, the pinch lever also jumps. Accordingly the Press roller is out
of control and rises. The above operation keeps the drum from dirts as the Press roller is in contact
with the drum when the paper is not fed. As the Press roller sensor detects rising of the Press roller,
Whether the paper is fed from the paper feed section to the printing section normally is detected
indirectly.

Operation
Sensing of feed tray upper limit
● When the feed tray rises, the paper in it presses the paper feed roller upward, making the paper
feed shaft lever (photointerrupter) rotate upwards about its fulcrum, until it no longer obstructs the
sensor’s light beam. Restoration of the sensor’s light beam signals that the feed tray has reached
the upper limit, and triggers stopping of the feed tray’s rise.

Sensing of paper decrease


● As printing progresses and the paper decreases, the paper feed roller gradually descends, until it
obstructs the sensor’s light beam. When this happens, the feed tray is raised until the light beam
is restored. If the light beam is not restored within about 30 seconds of the sending of the RAISE
FEED TRAY command, error E002 (elevator lock) is displayed.

Chapter 7 2 Overview

2 Overview
The DUPRINTER's HELP modes can be broadly classified into the following types:

■ Modes for ROM version display


These modes display the version numbers of the main PCB unit's ROM and the I/F PCB unit's
ROM, and ADF PCB unit's ROM .

■ Modes for adjustment / specification setting


These modes set the functioning of variable resistors and switches by using the battery PCB
unit's EEPROM to memorize settings made on the control panel.

IMPORTANT:
New adjustments and appropriate settings must be made after
the battery PCB unit is replaced and after initialization setting has
been implemented (using HELP-027).

■ Modes for function checks


These modes permit the running of function checks on:
individual motors, given series of operations, and electrical
circuits.
When these modes are used to check motor functioning,
the motor being checked is run by itself, but interlocks are
suspended. When such checks are run, take care not to put
hands or fingers in motor-related moving parts that could
start up unexpectedly.

WARNING

Failure to heed the above could result in


crushed or otherwise injured hands or fingers.

■ Modes for sensor and switch displays


These modes provide displays of the conditions of sensors and
switches.
■ Modes for total count displays
These modes provide displays of the counts of the total number
of masters made and sheets printed by the DUPRINTER since it
was manufactured. They also permit resetting of the total count
values displayed in the user mode.
