Chapter 2 Operations Loading the Paper 4-1. Precautions on Loading Paper • Thoroughly fan the paper before loading. Otherwise, problems such as double-feeding may occur. • Make sure that the printing ink on the paper is completely dry before loading. Otherwise, problems such as ink smearing (setoff ) and double-feeding may occur.

Chapter 2 Operations 4-4. Loading Paper in Collation Operations with Cover Insertions • Always load paper on consecutive paper feed trays. Otherwise, collating errors will occur and the machine will stop. • If paper is loaded only on one paper feed tray, the paper lamp blink. When using two towers or more, use more than two trays per tower.
Page 29
Chapter 2 Operations • When more than two towers are connected, Tower A Tower B load the covers on the paper feed trays above Page 9 the topmost tray paper of the first tower and Cover 2 below the bottommost tray paper of the last Page 1 connected tower.
Page 30
Chapter 2 Operations D. Inserting two covers with paper ejection set to right side (When the cover 2 is set in the processing mode:) • Load the covers on the paper feed trays above the topmost tray paper and below the xx: No.
Chapter 2 Operations Using the Paper Guide The paper loading direction differs according to the paper ejection direction, block mode, and processing mode. For further details, refer to the instruction manual of the PC CONTROLLER (optional). Load paper on the paper feed tray. Align the leading edge of the paper and load until it presses against the shutter lightly.
Page 32

Chapter 2 Operations Functions of Processing Mode and Their Use The following five types of processing modes are available to collate paper. Select a processing mode suitable for use. (1) Normal Mode : Paper is fed from all paper feed trays with loaded paper. (2) Alternate Mode : Suitable to use for trayding paper with thick paper as a cover.
Chapter 2 Operations 8-2. Alternate Mode This mode is appropriate when using thick paper for the cover of bound set. • When setting to eject paper to the left side, of the paper feed trays stacked with paper, paper is fed from the topmost tray or the tray below.
Chapter 2 Operations 8-3. Interleaf Mode Interleaf When collating general printed matter, insert paper which will serve as an indication that a certain number of sets have been collated, so as to improve the efficiency of downstream binding processes. This sheet of paper inserted halfway through is called “cover”.
Chapter 2 Operations Collation 9-1. Checking the Paper Feeding Check that the paper is fed normally after setting the paper ejection direction, program mode, block mode, and cover insert mode on PC CONTROLLER (optional). Press key for about one second to collate one set.
Chapter 2 Operations When mis-detection occurs Double-feed or miss-feed may sometimes be detected although the paper is fed normally. • If mis-detection of double-feed occurs with the double-feed detection function set to thin paper, set it to thick paper and perform preset again. If double-feed occurs even when set to thick paper, it means that the double-feed detection function cannot be used for the paper.
Chapter 2 Operations 10. Waiting Mode The waiting mode is used to standby keeping the paper feeding conditions without stopping the machine, when a problem has occurred or under certain conditions. 10-1. When the Waiting Mode is Activated The waiting mode is activated differently according to the setting details of PC CONTROLLER. For further details, refer to the instruction manual of PC CONTROLLER.
Chapter 2 Operations 10-2. Canceling Waiting Mode 1. Stop the machine completely. Press key. 2. Restart the machine. Press key. When the waiting mode is activated due to double-feed or mis-feed, press the start key after checking paper on the related paper feed tray.
Chapter 2 Operations 11. Double-Feed Detection Function 11-1. What is Double-Feed Detection Function ? Double-feed is feeding of more than two sheets of paper at once time. Using a sensor which measures paper thickness, the thickness of a paper fed is read as standard data during presettings, this paper is then compared with the data of the paper conveyed from the paper feed trays, and if the difference between the two data is large, it is determined as double-feeding of paper.
Chapter 2 Operations 12. Using the LUL-HM The LUL-HM is a device for feeding paper sets containing several sheets (below 10 sheets) by hand marry or hand feed. It can be used only when paper ejection is set to the left side. 12-1.
Chapter 2 Operations A. Adjusting the mix timing If the timing of the paper set from the hand marry does not match the timing for merging the set from the tower and as a result causes poor paper alignment, adjust the mix timing at option menu 2 on the touch panel.
Chapter 3 Troubleshooting Chapter 3 Troubleshooting When Monitor Lamp Lights Up The control panel has monitor lamps indicating the location where problems have occurred. When a monitor lamp lights up, perform the corresponding procedure below. 1-1.

Chapter 3 Troubleshooting 1-3. When the Double-Feed, Mis-Feed, and Jam Lamps Blink Simultaneously The suction box has been pressed up by a foreign object and paper. Remove the foreign object which has pressed up the suction box referring to the following procedures, and adjust the level sensor.
Chapter 3 Troubleshooting Countermeasures Taken for Jam at Paper Feed Inlet Take the following countermeasures when paper jams at the paper feed inlet. Press the eject key keeping tray down key pressed. The paper feed belt rotates reversely and the jammed paper is returned. Check that the paper feed tray and paper feed belt have stopped and remove the paper.
