The following rules apply throughout this Service Manual:
1. Each chapter contains sections explaining the purpose of specic functions and the
relationship between electrical and mechanical systems with reference 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 ipping 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, however, 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 eld. 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 communicated 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.

Basic Operation Outline
This equipment makes punch holes at the rear end of paper.
This equipment is optionally available and installed in the feed path inside the nisher.
The paper fed to the punch block stops at the punching position temporarily. After this, the
rack gear is driven back and forth to move the punch blades vertically, making punch holes.
These operations are controlled by the nisher controller PCB. Every part of the puncher is
driven by the puncher driver PCB.

Overview
This unit is located in the feed path inside the nisher and sequentially punches holes once
the media stops.
The media loaded from the host machine is fed by the inlet roller and feed roller of the
nisher. When the trailing edge of the media reaches a prescribed location, the media is
stopped for a moment and punched at the trailing edge.
The name and role of motors and sensors used for punching are shown below.

Construction of the Control System
The puncher unit consists of a die and hole puncher (punch blade).
The punch blade is driven by the punch motor (M102). The punch motor (M102) drives the
rack gear back and forth. This moves the punch blade up and down with the punch blade up/
down support pin to perform punching.
The home position of the punch blade is detected by Punch 2-/3-hole sensor (S103) and
punch HP sensor (S104), and the lowering position of the punch blade is detected by the
punch position sensor (S102).
The punch motor (M102) is a DC motor. In order to accurately stop the punch motor (M102)
at home position, the punch motor clock sensor (S105) counts the prescribed number of
clocks and stops the punch motor.
There is an inlet sensor (S106) at the entrance of the puncher unit to detect the leading
and trailing edge of the media. The inlet media feed path of the puncher unit has 5 photo
receiving transistors (photosensor PCB) on the upper side and ve sets of LEDs (LED PCB)
on the lower side to function as 5 sensors. These are horizontal registration sensor used to
detect the media far side position to determine the position to punch holes.
The punch motor, punch unit, and above sensors form the punch slide unit which moves back
and forth according to the media size. The back and forth movement is driven by the punch
slide motor (M101).
The home position of the punch slide unit is detected by the horizontal registration HP sensor
(S101). The punch slide motor (M101) is a 2 phase stepping motor.
Punch motor and punch slide motor are driven by the puncher driver PCB with control signal
from the nisher controller PCB.
The punch waste generated by punching operation is collected in the punch waste case. The
lling of punch waste is detected by a reective type sensor (LED1/PT1 on punch waste full
detection PCB).

Punch operation
The hole puncher is driven by the punch motor (M102). The home position of the hole
puncher is detected by the punch position sensor (S102) and punch HP sensor (S104). Home
position is reached when the two sensors both detect the sensor ag.
Punch operation is performed by driving the rack gear back and forth with the punch motor
(M102) and lifting the hole puncher through the punch lifter pin. The rack gear has sensor
ags and the punch operation is detected by the combination of these sensor ags and 3
sensors (punch position sensor (S102), punch 2-/3-hole sensor (S103), and punch HP sensor
(S104)).
The items controlled by the combination of sensor ags and sensors are shown below.

Horizontal registration operation
The punch slide unit is driven by the punch slide motor (M101) to perform horizontal
registration. The home position of the punch slide unit is detected by the horizontal
registration HP sensor (S101). The punch slide unit detects the leading edge of the media
with the inlet sensor (S106) and horizontal registration sensor (LED1 to 5 on the LED PCB,
PT1 to 5 on the photosensor PCB) and moves to the trailing edge of the media according to
the media size. The horizontal registration operation is as follows:
1) When the leading edge of the media is detected by the inlet sensor (S106) of the puncher
unit, the punch slide motor (M101) starts to move the punch slide unit to the front side.

2) After the horizontal registration sensor (LED1 to 5, PT1 to 5) detects the far end of the
media with the size signal sent from the host machine, the punch slide motor (M101) drives
further to the front side prescribed position and stops the punch slide unit.

3) Feeding of media is stopped when the inlet sensor (S106) detects the trailing edge of the
media and the media is switched back and bumped to the stopper and registered. Then the
punch motor (M102) is driven to punch the media.

4) When punching ends, the punch slide motor (M101) is reversed to return the punch slide
unit to home position and stopped.
5) The punch slide unit returns to the home position after punching each sheet and repeats
the above procedure even if the media is fed continuously.
