2.1 Mechanical Operating Principles 2.1.1 Description of Mechanisms (Border Mode) 1. When a document is inserted into the paper loading gate, the paper feed rollers feed it to the driving roller. 2. As the document passes between the paper feed rollers, the paper size detector determines its size (length and width).
2.1.2 Feed and Compression Mechanisms The feed and compression mechanism controls the motor drive to feed the document into the film cartridge, compression-feed the films, and eject the laminated document. The operation is basically divided into three separate operations: feeding a document into the Film cartridge, compression-feeding the films, and ejecting the laminated document.
Page 13
B. Compression-feeding the films 1. The SG motor mounted at the right of the chassis runs to rotate the Control cam gear (also mounted at the right of the chassis) to its prescribed position. 2. As the Control cam gear rotates, the LF change shaft is rotated to its prescribed position by the cam on the Control cam gear.
Page 14
Continuous Mode When the second or subsequent document are inserted in the Continuous mode, the operation C described below feeds the documents to the prescribed position. C. Feeding Document Only into Film Cartridge 1. The SG motor mounted at the right of the chassis runs to rotate the Control cam gear (also mounted at the right of the chassis) to its prescribed position.
2.1.3 Cutter Mechanism (Border Mode) The cutter mechanism cuts the laminated document to the size of the document plus an added border. Both edges of the films are cut to suit the width of the document and the leading edge and trailing edge are cut according to the document length. Y-Cutter Vertical Drive Operation The SG motor drive rotates the Control cam gear to its prescribed position.
Page 16
Cutting Leading and Trailing Edges (X-cutter Mechanism) 1. All the rollers which feed the document stop when the cut position at the leading edge of the document reaches the cutting position of the rotary cutter and fixed- blade cutter. 2. The DC motor rotates to drive the carriage in the X-cutter assy via the spiral mechanism (not illustrated).
2.1.4 Paper Size Detector Mechanism Paper Length Detection 1. When the leading edge of the document passes between the Paper feed rollers, the Actuator top operates about the pivot to turn on the Paper sensor and detect the document leading edge. 2.
Page 18
Paper Width Detection (Y-CA sensor) 1. As the Y-cutter arm (Y-CA sensor carriage) moves in the direction of the arrow, the document contacts the Actuator Y, which rotates about the pivot to switch off the Y-CA sensor (photosensor). 2. When the Y-CA sensor turns off, the Y-cutter arm movement stops and this position is detected as the document width.
2.1.5 Trimming Mechanism 1. When a corner of the laminated document is inserted over the T-cutter plate, the T- sensor lever operates a leaf switch (TRI) that detects the document. 2. When the document is detected, the motor gear of the SG Motor rotates from its reference position to the prescribed position to rotate the Control cam gear in the direction of the arrow (counterclockwise) via a series of gears.

Clock Circuit The main CPU incorporates a clock-generation circuit which uses externally mounted components. This circuit and the main CPU internal circuit generate an 8 MHz clock signal. Fig. 5.3-2 Clock Circuit Reset Circuit This circuit resets the main CPU when the power is turned ON or OFF. S-80943ANMP-DD7 is used as the reset IC in this circuit.
Page 114
Buzzer Drive Circuit This circuit sounds the piezoelectric buzzer. To sound the buzzer, the main CPU outputs a 4 kHz squarewave with 50% duty from port DV0 (P13). This signal is used to generate the buzzer sound. To stop the buzzer, the port status is set to High level using R69 in the input mode. Fig.
Page 115
Specification Switching Circuit This circuit reads the specification switching information. The specification switching is conducted by a ROM program built into the main CPU according to the solder point settings on the PCB. Fig. 5.3-6 Specification Switching Circuit Note that the solder point specifications change according to the CPU display format.
5.4 Detector Circuits These circuits detect the status of the switches and keys that operate the machine (Two-connection switch, Start key, Stop key, Dial switch, Continuous key, and Extra border key) and the sensors that determine the film type, document length and width, and cover open/closed status.
Page 117
Switch Scan Circuit This circuit in the main CPU scans the status of the FEED • CUT • START • STOP • CONT • EXTRA BORDER key, and TRI switch (leaf switch) at 15 ms intervals to continuously detect the status of each switch. The circuit comprises a matrix of three output ports (P90, P91, P92) and three input ports (P93 to P95).
Page 118
Dial Switch Circuit This circuit detects the automatic cutting mode selected on the Cutting mode selector switch. This circuit comprises two push switches (RSW1, RSW2) mounted on each side of the dial switch. The signals detected by these two push switches are input to the Main PCB via the Switch PCB.
Page 119
Paper Width Detector Circuit (YCA-F sensor PCB) This circuit detects the width of the document and determines the Y-carriage position. It also determines the Y-carriage standby position when the power is ON or the cover is closed. This circuit comprises the transmissive photosensor PH1 mounted on the Paper width detector PCB that is attached to the Y-carriage.
Page 120
Cartridge Type Detector Circuit This circuit detects the type of film cartridge. The Cartridge type detector switch CSIZE3 is mounted at the film cartridge inlet. When an A3 film cartridge is inserted, the A3 film cartridge presses the Cartridge type detector switch CSIZE3 and turns it ON (P14 becomes LOW). The Cartridge type detector switch CSIZE4 is mounted at the film cartridge inlet.
Page 121
Film Feed Detector Circuit This circuit detects the film feed status to prevent jams if a problem occurs. The film feed detector switch TPS is mounted before the paper eject roller and if there’s no problem with the film during document feed or compression, the film presses against the film feed detector switch TPS and sets the ON (input Low).
5.5 Motor Drive Circuits Paper Feed Motor Drive Circuit This circuit conducts the paper feed motor bipolar drive using 2-2 phase excitation from the +24 VDC stabilized constant voltage. The stepping motor excitation phases A, A , B, and B are controlled by main CPU ports P03, P02, P04, and P01 and the Paper feed motor is controlled by Driver #6.

SG Motor Home-position Detector Circuit This circuit detects when the SG motor is at the Trimming cam home position. Fig. 5.5-3 SG Motor Home-position Detector Circuit Y-CA Motor Drive Circuit This circuit drives the Y-CA motor using 2-2 phase excitation from the +24V DC stabilized constant voltage and maintains a low voltage during LF motor operation.
Page 124
X-cutter Motor Drive Circuit This circuit drives the DC motor with the +24V DC stabilized constant voltage. The X-cutter comprises a DC motor and two switches. The DC motor is controlled by the main CPU ports P64 to P67 and is driven by the DC motor control circuit. The two switches are detected by ports P22 and P23.
5.6 Power Supply Circuits The power supply circuits receive the unstabilized DC voltage supplied to CN1 from the AC adaptor through the Jack PCB via fuse F1 (protective circuit), and the filter circuit. The 2-channel switching power IC (IC#1) in the circuits converts the unstabilized DC voltage into a stabilized +5V voltage (logic power supply) and into a stabilized +24V DC voltage (drive power supply).
Page 126
+5V Power Supply Fig. 5.6-2 shows the timing chart of the power IC (IC#1) for the +5V DC power supply during idling. In this circuit, the transistor Q3 switches at approximately 100 kHz to convert the unstabilized input voltage to a stabilized +5V supply. When transistor Q3 is ON, energy accumulates in the coil L3 and electrolytic capacitor C10 until they are able to supply a +5V voltage.
6.1 Lubrication After the parts of 6.1.3 are replaced, apply lubricant to the positions indicated in 6.1.3 Lubrication Positions below. If only one of a pair of touching parts is replaced, lubricant remains on the other part and no further lubrication is required. If both of a pair of touching parts is replaced, lubricant must be applied to the indicated position.
