1. PRECAUTIONS FOR INSTALLATION AND USE
1.1 Place for installation
・
Locations with extremely high or low temperatures. Room temperature should be between 5 and
35 degrees centigrade.
・Locations with the potential for producing electrical leaks, for example, owing to splashing water.
・Near heat sources
・Places exposed to wind
・Narrow spots with poor ventilation, or dark places
・Locations exposed to direct sunlight or other powerful light sources. Direct sunlight or other
strong light sources may cause the optical sensor to malfunction. Install the machine in an
appropriate place or shield the light with a heavy curtain or other material.
1.2 Confirmation of contents and attachments
After unpacking the collator, check the attachments. Should any part be missing, contact your
dealer immediately.

3. HOW TO CONNECT TWO TABLETOP COLLATORS
1. Assemble tabletop collator tables and install
the right and left towers on them.
Caution!
・As for assembly of collator, refer to the
assembly plan.
・
In case two connected collators are used, be
sure to install them on the collator tables
designed for collator.
If two collators are not kept in parallel, it
may cause paper feed trouble
・Fix the collator to the collator table firmly
with metal fittings.
2. Switch the switching plate to “Connection”
side.
3. Using Phillips screwdriver, fit the L fitting
plate to the wing beneath paper ejection of
the left tower using RKWS4x6 screws
(4 pcs) (4 locations).

4. Fix the connecting chassis to the left tower
(1) It spends by the hand so that the ditch of
operation driver in a left tower may
become the same as the direction of the pin
of connecting shaft, it matches, and the pin
is set in the ditch.
Note!
Place a base or the like beneath the
connecting chassis to keep the chassis level.
It will make the assembly easier.
Caution!
If the parts are not fitted properly, the
collators may not start to work, or it may
cause machine trouble.
(2) Using Phillips screwdriver, fix the
connecting chassis with RKWS4x4
screws (4 locations).

5. Install the connecting chassis at the
right tower.
After moving the collator table to a
position where the connecting chassis
can be set, hold the connecting chassis
in the way as shown on the photo and
insert the connecting chassis shaft into
the pin (on the left side) of the right
tower while pulling the chassis in the
direction of arrow with your finger
placed inside.
While keeping the state as it is, insert
the connecting chassis shaft in the
right side pin and remove your fingers
placed inside, and then, the chassis is
set.
6. Fit the bridge side plate to the
connecting chassis with RKWS4x6
screws (2 pcs).
7. Fix the upper chassis
(1) Insert the left side tip of the upper
chassis in the rectangular hole on the
fitting plate (L) of the left tower.

side plate, and fit the upper chassis to the
connecting chassis using the upper
chassis fitting knob.
4. HOW TO CONNECT THE CONNECTOR
Insert the power cords of the collators (right
and left towers) in the power supply outlet and
insert the two collators connecting cord in both
tower and fix them firmly.

5. HOW TO OPERATE TWO COLLATORS WHEN THEY ARE CONNECTED
1. As for power supply, first turn on the power switch of the left tower and then turn on the switch
of the right tower within five seconds. If the interval between the timings to switch on two
collators exceeds five seconds, or the right tower is switched on first, the machines may not work
properly.
2. The left tower should be used when key operation on the operation panel is performed.
3. The methods of installation and operation of post-processing equipment vary according to the
equipment. Installation and operation should be performed according to the operation manual
of respective machine.
<Setting procedures of the system constants>
＊Be sure to set them in order to operate the machine properly.
1. Turn on the power switch of both left and right towers.
2. Press “O” key on the operation panel of the left tower for three seconds.
[P X] flashes on the counter.
3. Press the MODE key twice. Them, the counter shows [L X].
4. (1) In case the left tower and large-capacity stacker are used,
Display of [L . 5] - Press the numerical key “ 7 “ and if [L . 7] is displayed, press the
“START/STOP” key.
(2) In case both left and right towers and large-capacity stacker are used,
Display of [L . 5] - Keep this displayed and press the “START/STOP” key.
＊
Press the START/STOP” key as the last step. Then, even if the power is turned off, the system
constant value is memorized. Re-entry of the data will not be necessary.
＊ Use different L value of the system constant for when both left and right towers
andlarge-capacity stacker are used, from that for when the left tower and large-capacity stacker
are used.
＊ If the system constant is not properly set, collating speed will become a little slower when both
left and right towers and large-capacity stacker are used.
＊ If the system constant is not properly set, paper jam may occur in the large-capacity stacker
when the left tower and large-capacity stacker are used.
Cautions for use!
1. How to load paper (loading paper when all twenty stations are not used while two collated
are connected)
- In case 10 or less stations are used, use the left tower only.
(e.g. If paper is loaded on five station of the right tower and on another five stations of
the left tower, it may cause paper jam as paper ejected from the left tower meets paper
ejected from the right tower.
- In case eleven to nineteen stations are used, use ten stations of the left tower and use the
remainder out of the right tower while loading paper from the bottom station.
2. REPEAT function cannot be used while two collators are collated.
3. INSERT/CHIT functions cannot be used while two collators are connected.
4. If the left tower only is used independently, the following three methods can be selected.
- Switch on the power of the left tower only.
- Switch the ejection switching plate to “Independent”
- When the ejection switching plate on the right tower is set at “Independent”, press the
“MODE” key and “6” key on the operation panel of the left tower.
