CHAPTER 2 OUTLINE OF OPERATION
1 Basic Operations
1.1 Specifications
The finisher serves to deliver sheets coming from its host machine. The mode of delivery
may be non-sort stack, job offset*, or staple delivery.
The saddle unit built into the finisher is used to fold a stack of sheets coming from the fin-
isher unit in half for delivery.
All these operations are controlled by various commands sent by the host machine in ad-
dition to the commands from the finisher controller PCB.
The puncher unit (option) is designed for installation to the pickup assembly of the fin-
isher, and is used to punch holes in sheets coming from the host machine.
The above operations are controlled with various commands from the finisher controller
PCB as well as the commands from the punch controller PCB.

CHAPTER 2 OUTLINE OF OPERATION
1.2 Outline of the Electrical Circuitry
The sequence of finisher operations is controlled by the finisher controller PCB. The fin-
isher controller PCB is a 16-bit microprocessor (CPU), and is also used for combination
with the host machine (serial).
The finisher controller PCB drive motors and other loads in response to the various com-
mands from the host machine. It also communicates such data as on the states of various
sensors and switches to the host machine by way of the serial communication line.
The ICs mounted to the finisher controller PCB have the following functions:
