2. PRECAUTION FOR MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
- Before starting maintenance and inspection work, be sure to turn the power off and remove the power
cord from the outlet.
- Photo sensors are used in various parts of this machine. Be sure to clean them when maintenance work
is conducted.
- Thin wires are used for wiring in circuit boards. Be sure to hold the socket when setting or removing
the connector.
Also, when setting the connector, take care that wires are not stretched too tight and slack wires are not
in contact with the drive units and insert the socket into the end. Should the wires are in contact with
the drive units, it may cause a disconnection.
2.1 Usual maintenance
2.1.1 Cleanup paper feed roller, separator and Paper Ejection sheet photo sensor
- Cleaning of paper feed rubber roller and separator is recommended from time to time (as required).


Should trouble such as double feed, no feed, etc. occur after cleaning, the rubber paper feed
rollers and separator is 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.



15
4. SETTING PAPER
4.1 Precautions for setting paper
(1) 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.
(2)Fan out sheets well and then load them on the feed table. Failure to properly fan sheets may lead to
trouble.
[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.
(3) 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.
(4) Make sure any ink on the paper is dry. Let ink dry before loading paper. Wet ink soils the feed rollers
and the separator rubbers. It can lead to malfunction, such as double feed or no feed.
(5) Copied sheets may cause wrong feed or stacking error owing to electrostatic charge. Too, since copied
sheets are apt to curl at the edges; straighten or invert them before feed table loading.
(6) 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.
(7) Front and back sides of ejected paper change according to ejected direction (with Single use or when
connected). Be very careful when the collator is operated with after-processing equipment such as the
booklet maker.

16
4.2 Order of loading paper
(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.


4.3 Loading paper in Alternate mode
L
oading paper with the printed side up in Alternate
mode.
Load same
pages on odd and even-numbered stations,
that
is
,
Stations 1 and 2, 3 and 4, 5 and 6, 7 and 8, 9 and 10.
Paper feed starts with
the odd-numbered station; if it
runs
out of pa
per, the neighboring even-
numbered station will
automatically start feeding.
L
oading paper with the printed side down in A
lternate
mode

17
4.4 Loading paper in Insert and Program mode
(1) Insert mode
Load partitioning paper on the top station to be
used.
For instance, if 10 stations are
used continuously top to
bottom, partitioning paper
should be loaded on Station 1.

(2) Program mode
Be sure to load paper with the printed side up.
For example, when
10 stations to be used continuously
top to bottom, front
covers should be loaded on Station
1, back covers on Station 10.
If fewer than 10 stations are used, load front
covers on
the top station, back covers on the lowest of
those to be
used.
