MX-FN10 Service Manual
[1] PRODUCT OUTLINE
1. Product outline
This unit is installed to the following machines to perform the after-process of output paper from a copier, or a fax machine. The output paper is
passed to the saddle finisher by the interface unit (MX-RBX3). Each sheet is discharged one by one by the offset function.
1) 3 kinds of auto staple functions:
There are 3 staple positions available. (One position in the front, one position at the back, 2 positions at the center)
2) Saddle stitch function: Up to 15 sheets of paper can be stapled at the center and folded into two and discharged.
3) Punch function (Option):
By installation of a puncher unit, paper can be punched to make holes for a binder. (Applicable for 64 – 128g/m2. OHP films cannot be
used.)
The saddle stitch finisher requires staple cartridge as a consumable part.
(Staple cartridge (About 5000 staples x 3) MX-SCX1, Staple cartridge (for saddle) (About 2000 staples x 3) AR-SC3)
2. Configuration
1) When installing this unit, the paper feed desk (MX-DEX6/DEX7) and the interface unit (MX-RBX3) must be installed together.
2) This unit cannot be installed with the finisher (MX-FNX9) simultaneously.

MX-FN10 OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTION 5 – 1
MX-FN10 Service Manual
[5] OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTION
1. Straight paper exit mode
1) The transport motor and the transport motor 2 are driven at the
paper exit speed of the main unit, and paper is discharged
from the main unit.
At that time, the paper exit roller goes into the nip state.
2) The inlet port sensor turns on, and the paper rear edge
reaches the specified position. Then the speed of the transport
motor and the transport motor 2 is changed to the inside-the-
main unit speed.
3) The inlet port sensor turns OFF and the paper rear edge
reaches the specified position. Then the speed of the transport
motor is changed to the paper exit speed of the main unit, and
the speed of the transport motor 2 is changed to the stack tray
paper exit speed.
4) When the paper rear edge goes out of the paper exit roller, the
speed of the transport motor 2 is changed to the paper exit
speed of the main unit.
2. Non staple mode
1) The transport motor and the transport motor 2 are driven at the
paper exit speed of the main unit, and paper is discharged
from the main unit.
2) The inlet port sensor turns on, and the paper rear edge
reaches the specified position. Then the speed of the transport
motor and the transport motor 2 is changed to the inside-the-
main unit speed.
3) The inlet port sensor turns OFF and the paper rear edge
reaches the specified position. Then the speed of the transport
motor is changed to the paper exit speed of the main unit.
4) When the paper rear edge reaches the reverse position for
storing to the process tray, the transport motor 2 is temporarily
stopped. Then the transport motor 2 reverses to store paper in
the process tray.
5) When paper is stored in the process tray, the alignment plate
reciprocates to align paper.

MX-FN10 OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTION 5 – 2
6) Reception of paper in the process tray is repeated until the
specified number of sheet for a bundle is stacked. (1 - 5)
7) When all the sheets of paper in a bundle are discharged to the
process tray, the paper bundle is discharged to the stack tray
by the gripper.
3. Rear on position staple mode
1) The transport motor and the transport motor 2 are driven at the
paper exit speed of the main unit, and paper is discharged
from the main unit.
2) The inlet port sensor turns on, and the paper reaches the
specified position. Then the speed of the transport motor and
the transport motor 2 is changed to the inside-the-main unit
speed.
3) The inlet port sensor turns OFF and the paper rear edge
reaches the specified position. Then the speed of the transport
motor is changed to the paper exit speed of the main unit.
4) When the paper rear edge reaches the reverse position for
storing to the process tray, the transport motor 2 is temporarily
stopped. Then the transport motor 2 reverses to store paper in
the process tray.
5) When paper is stored in the process tray, the alignment plate
reciprocates to align paper.
6) Reception of paper in the process tray is repeated until the
specified number of sheet for a bundle is stacked. (1 - 5)
7) When all the sheets of a bundle are discharged to the process
tray, stapling is performed.
8) After stapling, the paper bundle is discharged to the stack tray
by the gripper.

4. 2-position staple mode
1) The transport motor and the transport motor 2 are driven at the
paper exit speed of the main unit, and paper is discharged
from the main unit.
2) The inlet port sensor turns on, and the paper reaches the
specified position. Then the speed of the transport motor and
the transport motor 2 is changed to the inside-the-main unit
speed.
3) The inlet port sensor turns OFF and the paper rear edge
reaches the specified position. Then the speed of the transport
motor is changed to the paper exit speed of the main unit.
4) When the paper rear edge reaches the reverse position for
storing to the process tray, the transport motor 2 is temporarily
stopped. Then the transport motor 2 reverses to store paper in
the process tray.
5) When paper is stored in the process tray, the alignment plate
reciprocates to align paper.
6) Reception of paper in the process tray is repeated until the
specified number of sheet for a bundle is stacked. (1 - 5)
7) When all the sheets of a bundle are discharged to the process
tray, stapling at the first position is performed. After completion
of the first stapling, the staple unti is shfited to the second sta-
plingposition and the second stapling is performed.
8) After completion of the second stapling, the paper bundle is
discharged to the stack tray by the gripper.
5. Front one position staple mode
1) The transport motor and the transport motor 2 are driven at the
paper exit speed of the main unit, and paper is discharged
from the main unit.
2) The inlet port sensor turns on, and the paper reaches the
specified position. Then the speed of the transport motor and
the transport motor 2 is changed to the inside-the-main unit
speed.

MX-FN10 OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTION 5 – 4
3) The inlet port sensor turns OFF and the paper rear edge
reaches the specified position. Then the speed of the transport
motor is changed to the paper exit speed of the main unit.
4) When the paper rear edge reaches the reverse position for
storing to the process tray, the transport motor 2 is temporarily
stopped. Then the transport motor 2 reverses to store paper in
the process tray.
5) When paper is stored in the process tray, the alignment plate
reciprocates to align paper.
6) Reception of paper in the process tray is repeated until the
specified number of sheet for a bundle is stacked. (1 - 5)
7) When all the sheets of a bundle are discharged to the process
tray, stapling is performed.
8) After stapling, the paper bundle is discharged to the stack tray
by the gripper.
6. Saddle motor
1) The transport motor and the transport motor 2 are driven at the
paper exit speed of the main unit, and paper is discharged
from the main unit.
2) The inlet port sensor turns on, and the paper reaches the
specified position. Then the speed of the transport motor and
the transport motor 2 is changed to the inside-the-main unit
speed.
3) The inlet port sensor turns OFF and the paper rear edge
reaches the specified position. Then the speed of the transport
motor is changed to the paper exit speed of the main unit.
4) When the paper rear edge reaches the reverse position for

9) Start the pushing plate motor to fold the paper bundle and dis-
charge it.
10) The paper bundle is discharged to the saddle stack tray by the
saddle exit motor.
7. Punch process
1) When the paper lead edge passes the paper rear edge detec-
tion sensor, the punch horizontal registration motor is booted
to start the horizontal registration.
2) After starting horizontal registration, when the horizontal regis-
tration sensor detects the side edge, it is shifted by the speci-
fied distance to stop the punch horizontal registration motor.
3) When the paper rear edge passes the paper rear edge detec-
tion sensor, the transport motor and the transport motor 2 are
stopped to stop paper.
4) When paper is stopped, the punch motor is booted to punch at
the paper rear edge.

transport motor 2 are booted to start paper transport, execut-
ing the specified after-process.
