MX-CFX1  OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTION  5 – 3

1) A sheet is placed in the paper feed tray of the inserter.
2) The START LED lights up in blue on the operator panel of the

inserter.

3) The inserter reserves an operation command sent by the main

unit.

4) The registration clutch is turned ON to lock the registration roll-

ers.

5) The paper feed motor reverses to lower the pickup roller,

thereby taking in the sheet from the paper feed tray

6) The registration sensor detects the leading edge of the sheet.
7) The sheet makes contact with the registration rollers to form a

loop, thereby stopping the paper feed motor.

8) The registration clutch is turned OFF.

9)

The paper feed motor starts to rotate in the forward direction.
The registration rollers and vertical transport rollers rotate.  If
the sheet is the first sheet, the flapper solenoid in the reverse
section is turned ON at this point of time.

10) The timing sensor detects the leading edge of the sheet.
11) The leading edge of the sheet passes between the vertical

transport rollers

12) When sheet transport needs to be suspended for adjusting the

space between sheets, the paper feed motor stops to stop the
sheet.

13) When a predetermined waiting time period has passed, the

flapper solenoid is turned ON, the paper feed motor restarts,
and the reverse motor starts to rotate in the forward direction.

14) The reverse sensor is turned ON, and detects the leading

edge of the sheet.

15) When the trailing edge of the sheet leaves the timing sensor,

the paper feed motor starts to slow down to stop.
(After the paper feed motor has completely stopped, if there is
a next sheet to be inserted, the paper feed motor starts to
reverse to take it in.)

MX-CFX1  OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTION  5 – 4

16) The reverse sensor is turned OFF.  The trailing edge of the

sheet is detected, and the flapper solenoid in the reverse sec-
tion is turned OFF.  When the sheet travels a predetermined
distance, the reverse motor stops.

17) When the reverse motor has completely stopped, the reverse

motor starts to reverse, and the transport motor starts.

18) The reverse sensor is turned ON, and detects the leading

edge of the sheet.

19) The paper exit sensor is turned ON, and detects the leading

edge of the sheet.

20) The reverse sensor is turned OFF.  When the sheet travels a

predetermined distance after its trailing edge is detected, the
reverse motor stops.
(If the next sheet waits at the leading-edge registration posi-
tion, the flapper solenoid in the reverse section is turned ON,
the paper feed motor starts to rotate in the forward direction,
and the reverse motor starts to rotate in the forward direction.)

21) The paper exit sensor is turned OFF, and the trailing edge of

the sheet is detected.

22) If there is no next sheet to be inserted, the transport motor

stops.

The figure below shows the operator panel.

Setting procedure: 
1)

Place a sheet in the tray.

2)

Press the PUNCH switch on the operator panel.

3)

The PUNCH LED lights up to indicate that setting has been
completed.

4)

Press the START switch to start operation.

Canceling procedure:
5)

Press the PUNCH switch on the operator panel.

6)

The PUNCH LED goes out to indicate that setting has been
canceled.

NOTE: If you cannot make or cancel setting by following the

respective procedures above, refer to "5. LED indication on
operation panel" shown later. When no LEDs are lit, check
the setting made by the main unit and the inserter status.

MX-CFX1  OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTION  5 – 5

Setting procedure:
1) Place a sheet in the tray.
2) Press the STAPLE MODE switch on the operator panel.
3) Each time you press the switch, the STAPLE MODE LEDs

light up by turns in the following order: 1, 2, 3, 4 All LEDs OFF
1 ... (When the saddle mode is cannot be used, the order is: 1
2, 3,  All LEDs OFF  1 ...) 

4) When the desired LED lights up, press the START switch to

start operation.

(Refer to the correspondence between the stapling modes and
LEDs shown later.)

Canceling procedure: 
5)

Press the STAPLE MODE switch on the operator panel.

6)

All the STAPLE MODE LEDs go out to indicate that setting has
been canceled.

NOTE: If you cannot make or cancel setting by following the

respective procedures above, refer to "5. LED indication on
operation panel" shown later.  When no LEDs are lit, check
the setting made by the main unit and the inserter status.

NOTE: The punching mode and saddle mode cannot be used at

the same time.

The correspondence between the punching/stapling mode settings and LEDs is shown below.
