AR505-1 (Technical Report)

Sharp Electronics (UK) Ltd., Technical Services Group

AR505

We have received a report from the field of the originals jamming when using the RSPF.
Please see below for details.

When a large number of originals are run continually from the RSPF, they may jam in the
delivery area.

Cause
When a large number of originals are run continually from the RSPF, static accumulates
on the upper guide plate (P/G No.65-21).  The static may leak onto other parts on rare
occasions.
If the static leaks, the driver IC in the transport motor will mis-operate causing the original
to jam in the delivery area.
Please note: this problem is not an epidemic failure but occurs only when a large number
of originals are run continually in machines that are installed in a low humidity
environment, in which static is easily generated.

Factory action
As a temporary measure, an earth wire is added to the upper guide plate to prevent static
accumulating on the upper guide plate.  Please see the diagram below.

The permanent measure will be announced at a later date.
