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 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 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, 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 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 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."

1.1 Making Pre-Checks
1.1.1 Selecting the Site 0006-2646
T-1-1
The site must meet the following requirements; if possible, visit the user's before
the machine is delivered:
1. The site must offer a power outlet whose rating is as specified volts (-/
+10%) and which may be used exclusively for the machine.
2. The site temperature must be between 0 deg and 35 deg C (32 deg and 95
deg F) and between 35% and 85% humidity. Avoid an area near a water
faucet, water boiler, humidifier, and refrigerator.
3. The site must not be near a source of fire, or must not be subject to dust
or ammonium gas. Also, avoid areas exposed to direct rays of the sun; if
necessary, provide curtains.
4. The level of ozone generated by the machine while in use will not affect
the health of the human body. However, some individuals may find its
odor unpleasant. Be sure to ventilate the room well to provide a good
working environment.
5. The machine will have to be at least 10cm/3.9" from any wall, offering
