 Safety instructions

Introduction

The cause of most accidents is failure to adhere to basic safety rules and observe
safety instructions. It is important to prevent potential causes of accidents
from occurring. In order to do so, read this manual carefully, and make sure to
understand all the safety instructions, and appropriate inspection and servicing
procedures that it provides before beginning repair or serving work.
Repairing or servicing the machine with insufficient knowledge of it could lead to
unforeseen accidents.

It is not possible to anticipate and describe in a manual such as this every possible
hazard that could arise in the course of repair and servicing. Therefore, besides
observing the safety instructions marked in this manual and on labels attached
to the machine, make sure to be safety-conscious and take other safety precautions
as necessary. When performing repair or service work not covered by this manual,
obtain safety guidance from an appropriately knowledgeable person.

Note: This symbol mark is for EU countries only.

This symbol mark is according to the directive 2006/66/EC Article 20 Information for
end-users and Annex II.
This symbol means that batteries and accumulators, at their end-of-life, should be
disposed of separately from your household waste.
If a chemical symbol is printed beneath the symbol shown above, this chemical
symbol means that the battery or accumulator contains a heavy metal at a certain
concentration. This will be indicated as follows:
Hg: mercury (0.0005%), Cd: cadmium (0.002%), Pb: lead (0.004%)
In the European Union there are separate collection systems for used batteries and
accumulators.
Make sure to dispose of batteries and accumulators correctly at your local
community waste collection/recycling centre.

1. Description
The machine contains a scanner of the document moving type which scans images while the
document is fed.
The document is illuminated with the contact image sensor (CIS) while being transferred, and the
reflection in proportion to the document image darkness is imaged on the contact image sensor
(CIS). Then the image is dissolved into picture elements and converted photoelectrically into the
level of electricity simultaneously.
The document is fed and carried by a single stepping motor.

3. Detection of the rear end of the document
4. Detection of the finish of the document
5. Detection of a document jam

1. Detection of the document

When the MASTER MAKING key is pressed and the document sensor is photointerrupted by
the document fed with the paper feed roller, the document sensor detects the presence of the
2
document. When the document is detected, master making is continued. If the document does
not reach the document sensor even it is fed for 35 mm after the MASTER MAKING key is
pressed, No Paper is displayed on the system indicator and the machine stops.

2. Detection of the front end of the document

When the document sensor is photointerrupted by the document fed with the ADF feed roller, it
detects the front end of the document.

3. Detection of the rear end of the document

When the document is fed for 17 mm after the rear end is detected, the reading of the document
is finished and the scanner stepping motor runs at a slower speed than the document reading
speed to eject the document. When the document is fed for approx. 33 mm after the reading is
finished, the scanner stepping motor stops.

IMPORTANT
• The reading of a document is terminated when the longitudinal length is fed of the document
size or when the document is fed for approx. 17 mm after the rear end is detected, whichever
is earlier.

4. Detection of the finish of the document

When the rear end of the document has passed by the document sensor, the sensor is
photopassed and detects the finish of the document.

5. Detection of a document jam

• When the document sensor has already detected a document when the MASTER MAKING key
is pressed.
• When the document does not pass through the document sensor even when the document of
the maximum size (382 mm) is fed while the scanner is operating.

1. Master Setting Error Detection

Operation
In master making, the end mark sensor uses the amount of reflected light to detect presence
or absence of a master on the transfer path. Then the following displays and operations are
performed:
● When a master setting error (the master is not attached to the drum) is detected, C002 appears.
● Printing is not performed but only master making is performed when the display is cleared after a
master setting error is detected. (Because the master is not attached to the drum.)

Timing
Master setting error is detected with the following condition.
● When the master rear end is not detected after master making process is finished and the master
is cut.

1. Description
The center separation method is taken to feed paper. There is no corner finger and paper feeding
is performed with the paper separator unit and the paper feed roller. Paper is pressed to the roller
by the paper feed plate spring. The fed paper is conveyed with the timing roller and the guide roller
to the position where the paper tip is gripped between the drum surface and the press roller. The
paper is transferred by the rotation of the drum and the press roller.
The ejected paper jam sensor detects the status of the fed paper. When any failure occurs in
feeding paper, an error code appears on the counter/error display panel and the system indicator
shows machine status.

(2) Paper Feed Length

The paper feed length is the length by which the paper feed roller feeds out the printing paper.
When the paper feed roller feeds out the printing paper, the guide roller is pressed against the
timing roller and does not rotate: as a result, the paper arches up between the paper separator unit
and the timing roller, since the distance between these two items is only 80 mm, while the length by
which the paper is fed out from the paper feed roller is 95 mm.
This arching has the effect of correcting any skewing of the paper (as the leading edge is held firmly
between the guide roller and the timing roller). It also has the effect of lessening the load on the
timing roller when it feeds the paper through, thus minimizing slippage.
Paper feed length is controlled by program (H-67).

IMPORTANT
If paper feed length is too large: The arching dimension becomes too large, and if the paper
is of a very stiff type, it buckles up between the paper feed
roller and the paper feed inlet (upper), causing a paper jam
error (the paper feed side).
If paper feed length is too small : The arching dimension becomes too small, so arching is
unable to correct skewing of the paper, and skewing and
wrinkling is liable to occur.
Furthermore, slippage that occurs when the timing roller
feeds the paper through becomes very large, resulting in
printing position errors.

Description
The signal lever is positioned at the back of the guide roller/ timing roller. Whether paper is fed or

Operation
The pinch lever is attached to the other end of the shaft to which the signal lever is attached. As the
signal lever is jumped by paper, the pinch lever also jumps. Accordingly the press roller is released
and rises. The operation above keeps the drum from dirt as the press roller is in contact with the
drum when paper is not fed.

1. Description
The ink control section is in the drum unit and is supplied with ink in the ink pack attached to the
drum unit by the ink pump motor. The ink control section has an ink detection function, and is
always supplied with a certain amount of ink. Printing darkness is adjusted by changing the gap
between the squeegee roller and the ink roller.
Five ink colors are available: black, red, blue, green, and brown. Perform color printing to replace
the drum unit for each color. (Press the JOG switch to move the drum unit to the drum stop position
and then replace the drum unit.)
In this machine, whether the drum unit is installed or not is detected. If the drum unit is not installed

Description
The ink amount variation in the ink control section is read
by the electric capacity variation between the detection
needles on the ink detection PCB unit and the GND, and
the ink signal is output to the main PCB unit. The main
PCB unit controls the ink pump motor ON / OFF by this C005
signal.
When NO INK continues while the drum rotates 25 times
(the number of drum unit rotations; it varies depending on
2
the printing speed.*) during printing, it is judged that the ink
pack is empty. Then the code appears on the counter/error
display panel and the system indicator shows machine
status as shown in the figure on the right, and then printing
stops.

 Chapter 7 2 Overview

2 Overview
The HELP modes of DUPRINTER can be broadly classified into the following types:

■ Modes for ROM version display / version upgrade

These modes display the version numbers of the main PCB unit software, the panel PCB unit
software, and the USB interface PCB software.

■ Modes for adjustment / specification setting

These modes set the functioning of variable resistors and switches by using the Main PCB unit to
store settings made on the operation panel. All of these adjustments and settings are made at the
factory prior to shipment of each DUPRINTER.

IMPORTANT
Make sure to perform new adjustments and appropriate settings after having implemented the
initialization setting (using HELP mode H-27).

■ Modes for function checks

These modes enables the running of function checks on: individual motors, given series of
operations, and electrical circuits.
When these modes are used to check motor functioning, the motor being checked is run by itself,
but interlocks are suspended. When such checks are run, be careful not to put your hands or
fingers in motor-related moving parts that can start up unexpectedly.

WARNING

● Failure to heed the above can result

in crushed or otherwise injured
hands or fingers.

■ Modes for sensor and switch displays

These modes provide displays of the conditions of sensors and switches.
■ Modes for the total count displays
These modes provide displays of the counts of the total number of masters made and sheets
printed by the DUPRINTER since it was manufactured. They also permit resetting of the total
7
count values displayed in the user mode.

Chapter 7 3 HELP Mode Function and Operation Procedures

3 HELP Mode Function and Operation Procedures

(1) Accessing HELP Modes

1. During use of the DUPRINTER: first put the machine into the standby state, then turn the power
switch OFF.

2. Simultaneously press and hold the PRINT SPEED keys, and turn the power switch ON with those
keys held down. In about two seconds, a beep-beep-beep tone sounds, and the HELP mode
display appears.

3. Using the NUMERIC keys, enter the number of the HELP mode you want to access.
Example: To access HELP mode H-00, enter [0], [0].

4. Press the PRINT key. The HELP mode specified in step 3 is accessed, and either the initial value
(the value set at the factory) or the currently set value for the mode is displayed.
From this point on, follow the procedure below for the particular mode accessed.
