Result
Process
Cable
1
Check that the cable between the sorter controller
PWB and the bin unit is properly connected.
NO
Connect properly.
Cable
2
Check that the cable between the bin paper
sensor light emitting side (S1) and the light
receiving side (S2) is properly connected.
NO
Connect properly.
Installation of bin paper
sensor light emitting side
(S1) and light receiving
side (S2)
3
Check that the bin paper sensor light emitting side
(S1) and the light receiving side (S2) are properly
installed.
NO
Connect properly.
When the bin paper sensor light emitting side (S1) and the light
receiving side (S2) are installed again, perform the bin paper
sensor sensitivity adjustment. (For the procedure, refer to page
5-1)
Bin paper sensor light
emitting side (S1) and light
receiving side (S2)
4
When the bin paper sensor light emitting side (S1)
and the light receiving side (S2) are replaced and
the bin paper sensor sensitivity adjustment is
performed, the trouble is canceled.
YES
Replace the bin paper sensor light emitting side (S1) and the
light receiving side (S2) and perform the bin paper sensor
sensitivity adjustment. (For the procedure, refer to page 5-1)
Sorter controller PWB
NO
Replace the sorter controller PWB, and perform the bin paper
sensor sensitivity adjustment, the guide bar motor oscillation
range adjustment, and the stapler motor oscillation motor
oscillation range adjustment. (For the procedures, refer to pages
5-1 to 5-2)
B. F1-87/Display ON
Cause/
Trouble position
Procedure
Check item
Result
Process
Circuit breaker
1
Check that the circuit breaker on the sorter
controller PWB is operating.
YES
Remove the cause of the circuit breaker operation, and press the
circuit breaker.
24V power is not supplied
2
Set the tester range to 50VDC. Check that the
voltage between J1-1 (+) and J1-2 (–) on the
sorter controller PWB is about 24V.
NO
Check 24V of the copier.
Stapler unit oscillation
motor (M4)
3
Check that there are pulse outputs at connector
J12-2 to -5 on the sorter controller PWB at the
operating timing of the stapler unit oscillation
motor.
Check that J12-1 is +24V.
YES
Check the wiring to the stapler unit oscillation motor. If it is
normal, replace the stapler unit oscillation motor.
Stapler unit oscillation
motor home position
switch (MS4)
4
Set the tester range to 50VDC. Check that the
voltage between the sorter controller PWB J6-3
(+) and the case (–) is about 24V (when the joint
and the coupler are closed). Check that the
voltage between J6-4 (+) and the case (–) is
about 24V when the stapler oscillation unit is in
the home position, and 0V when it is not.
YES
Stapler unit oscillation motor home position switch (MS4)
Sorter controller PWB
Replace the sorter controller PWB, and perform the bin paper
sensor sensitivity adjustment, the guide bar motor oscillation
range adjustment, and the stapler oscillation motor oscillation
range adjustment. (For the procedures, refer to pages 5-1 to 5-2.)
C. F1-89/Display ON
Cause/
Trouble position
Procedure
Check item
Result
Process
Cable
1
Check that the cable between the bin shift motor
and the sorter controller PWB is properly
connected.
NO
Connect properly.
Circuit breaker
2
Check that the circuit breaker (CB1) on the sorter
controller PWB is operating.
YES
Remove the cause of the circuit breaker operation, and press the
circuit breaker.
24V power is not supplied
3
Set the tester range to 50VDC. Check that the
voltage between the sorter controller PWB J1-1
(+) and J1-2 (–) is about 24V.
NO
Check the 24V power of the copier.
Bin shift motor (M1)
4
Check that the voltage between the connector
J8-1 and J8-2 on the bin shift motor driver PWB is
about 24V at the operating timing of the bin shift
motor (M1).
NO
Check the wiring to the bin shift motor. If it is normal, replace the
bin shift motor.
Sorter controller PWB
NO
Replace the sorter controller PWB, and perform the bin paper
sensor sensitivity adjustment, the guide bar motor oscillation
range adjustment, and the stapler oscillation motor oscillation
range adjustment. (For the procedures, refer to pages 5-1 to 5-2.)
D. F1-94 display ON
Cause/
Trouble position
Procedure
Check item
Result
Process
The manual staple key is
pressed when starting
copying.
1
Check that there is anything on the key or not.
NO
Start copying in a mode other than the non-sort mode with the
bin in the home position to check that the operation is performed
normally or not.
Key
2
Press a key and check that the switch on the
operation PWB is pressed or not.
NO
Properly connect the cable.
Operation PWB
3
Check the cable connection between the sorter
control PWB and the operation PWB.
YES
Replace the operation PWB.
