Introduction The following rules apply throughout this Service Manual: 1. Each chapter contains sections explaining the purpose of specific functions and the relationship between electrical and mechanical systems with refer- ence to the timing of operation. In the diagrams, represents the path of mechanical drive; where a signal name accompanies the symbol , the arrow indicates the direction of the electric signal.
Chapter 1 1.1 Product Specifications 1.1.1 Specifications 0010-4339 T-1-1 Item Description Remarks Type Built in the host machine Paper supply method Switchback reversing method Copy paper type 60g/m2 to 90g/m2 Copy paper size A3, B4, A4, A4R, B5, B5R, A5R, 11X17, LGL, LTR, LTR-R, STMTR Power supply DC power supply from host machine...
Chapter 2 2.1 Basic Construction 2.1.1 Outline 0010-4342 The operation sequence of the duplex unit is controlled by the duplex controller PCB. An 8-bit microcomputer mounted on the duplex controller PCB controls the operation sequence of the duplex unit and the serial communication with the DC controller PCB. The duplex controller PCB drives motors in response to various commands sent from the DC controller PCB.
Chapter 2 2.2.2 Paper Feed Path 0010-4345 SR1002 SR1003 F-2-3 2.2.3 Paper Feed Operation 0010-4346 This section explains how two sheets of A4 paper are fed for duplex printing. 1) When the predetermined time lapses after the first paper is supplied, the reversal motor (M1002) starts rotating to feed the paper toward the reversal tray. Immediately after the leading edge of the paper is detected by the delivery sensor, the duplex flapper solenoid turns on to feed the paper to the duplex unit.

Chapter 2 SR1002 Fixing delivery sensor SR1003 F-2-5 3) After stopping for the predetermined time, the reversal motor (M1002) starts rotating to feed the paper toward the duplex unit, allowing the paper to be fed into the host machine. During this time, the second paper is supplied. When the predetermined time lapses after the reversal motor (M1002) stops, the feed motor (M1001) starts rotating.

Chapter 2 SR1002 SR1003 F-2-6 4) When the predetermined time lapses after the trailing edge of the paper is detected by the duplex paper sensor 1 (SR1002), the reversal motor stops (M1002). 5) When the predetermined time lapses after the duplex paper sensor detects the leading edge of the fist paper is detected by the duplex paper sensor 2 (SR1003), the feeder motor stops.

Chapter 2 SR1002 SR1003 F-2-9 8) After completion of printing, the first paper is ejected. The second paper is supplied again and ejected after completion of printed.
Chapter 2 SR1002 SR1003 F-2-10 2.3 Detecting Jams 2.3.1 Outline 0010-4347 The following paper detection sensors are mounted to check whether paper is fed properly in the duplex unit: - Duplex paper sensor 1 (SR1002) (upper) - Duplex paper sensor 2 (SR1003) (lower) Occurrence of a jam is detected according to whether paper exists at a sensor at the check timing memorized in the CPU.
