1. Basic operation
A. Basic operation of finisher
The finisher is designed to deliver copies arriving from its host
machine, and its modes of delivery include simple stacking, job off-
set, and staple.
All operations involved in these modes are controlled by the fin-
isher controller PCB, according to the appropriate commands from
the host machine.
machine, and its modes of delivery include simple stacking, job off-
set, and staple.
All operations involved in these modes are controlled by the fin-
isher controller PCB, according to the appropriate commands from
the host machine.
NOTE: The term job offset refers to shifting each sorting job, sepa-
rating a single stack into several stacks.
B. Outline of electric circuitry in finisher
The finisher's sequence of operation is controlled by the finisher
controller PCB. The finisher controller PCB is a 16-bit microproces-
sor (CPU), and is used for communication with the host machine
(serial) in addition to controlling the finisher's sequence of opera-
tions.
The finisher controller PCB responds to the various commands
coming from the host machine through a serial communications
line to drive solenoids, motors, and other loads. In addition, it com-
municates the finisher's various states (information on sensors and
switches) to the host machine through a serial communications cir-
cuit.
The ICs used on the finisher controller PCB are designed for the
following:
• IC2 (CPU)

2. Feed/drive system
A. Outline
The finisher is designed to operate according to the commands
from its host machine to deliver arriving copies to trays in the
appropriate mode: simple stacking, job offset, or stapling.
Four delivery modes are available.
from its host machine to deliver arriving copies to trays in the
appropriate mode: simple stacking, job offset, or stapling.
Four delivery modes are available.
B. Control configuration of finisher
The finisher moves copies arriving from the host machine to the
delivery tray, stapling tray, according to the mode of delivery. On
the stapling tray, the copies are subjected to job offset or stapling
as instructed by the host machine.
In addition, stack is delivered from the stapling tray with the help of
the trailing edge assist guide as well as the delivery roller. The inlet
motor (FFM), delivery motor (FAM), and the trailing edge assist
motor (FASM) are the stepping motors. These motors are con-
trolled by the microprocessor (CPU) on the finisher controller PCB,
and rotate either clockwise or counterclockwise.
The paper paths are equipped with the following two sensors for
detection of paper (arrival, passage):
• Inlet sensor (FED)
• Feed path sensor (FPDD)
In addition, each delivery tray is equipped with a sensor designed
to detect the presence/absence of paper on it.
• No.1 tray paper sensor (FBED1)
• No.2 tray paper sensor (FBED2)
If a copy fails to reach or move past each sensor within a specific
period of time, the finisher controller PCB identifies the condition as
a jam, and stops the ongoing operation, and at the same time,
informs the host machine of the condition. When all doors are
closed after the paper jam is removed, the above two sensors (inlet
sensor and delivery path sensor) check whether or not copies are
being detected. If the sensors detect a copy, the finisher unit judges
that paper jams have not completely been removed, and sends the
paper jam removal signal to the host machine again.

C. Delivery path of finisher
Outline
Three types of delivery paths to the tray 1/2 of this machine are
available, depending on the processes of the paper delivery.
Straight delivery
If sort job is not to be implemented, all the paper is delivered
through the path shown in the figure below.

Straight delivery
If sort job is not to be implemented, all the paper is delivered
through the path shown in the figure below.
Path to stapling tray
If the sort job of paper in other than A4, B5, or LTR size or the sta-
ple sort is to be implemented, delivered paper passes through this
path. After paper is fed to the stapling tray, it is aligned and stapled.
Then, it is delivered with the help of the trailing edge assist.
If the sort job of paper in other than A4, B5, or LTR size or the sta-
ple sort is to be implemented, delivered paper passes through this
path. After paper is fed to the stapling tray, it is aligned and stapled.
Then, it is delivered with the help of the trailing edge assist.
Path to buffer/stapling tray
If the sort job of paper in A4, B5, or LTR size or the staple sort is to
be implemented, delivered paper passes through this path. After
two sheets (if stitching is to be performed at two points, two or three
sheets) are delivered to the buffer, they are aligned at the stapling
tray, stapled, and then discharged. Since paper is delivered from
the host machine continuously, paper fed to the buffer can be
simultaneously delivered together with stack paper that has been
already stapled at the stapling tray even while stapling or offset
operation is being carried out. Stack paper delivered from the buffer
is fed to the stapling tray, and paper stapled at the stapling tray is
fed to the tray.
If the sort job mode is selected, the simultaneous delivery of two
sheets of A4 size paper in paper stacks is described as shown
below.
