Explanation:

B. Error detection

(1) EEPROM errors

Explanation:

1) When the DA output exceeds the upper limit

Even when the DA output is increased, the AD input value does

not fall within the appropriated range.

1) Timeout error

The EEPROM is being programmed even after a predetermined

time period (150 msec) has passed.

2) When the DA output is less than the lower limit

Even when the DA output is decreased, the AD input value does

not fall within the appropriated range.

2) Writing error

The written data does not match the read data even when writing

and reading are retried.

C. Alarm detection

3) Reading error

Explanation:

Checking pieces of data read from three sources results in mis-

match even when checking is retried.

An alarm is issued because the size of a sheet in the tray cannot be

correctly detected when both the sub tray pullout detection sensor and

the sub tray retraction detection sensor are turned OFF.

Not Mounted

This circuit rotates/stops K_MOT and controls its rotational direction

and the motor current. The circuit consists of the CPU (IC6), the D/A

converter (IC13), the constant-current chopper driver IC (IC9), and

other elements.

the constant voltage by R53 and R54. The divided voltage is applied to

IC9-Pin9,11 to set the motor current.

The signals of the stepping-motor drive excitation pattern from the

CPU (IC6-Pin37,38,70,71) control the motor rotation speed and rota-

tional direction.

AR-CF2 ELECTRICAL SECTION 9 - 6

(4) Flapper Solenoid and Registration Clutch Drive Circuit (F_SOL and R_CL)

Flapper SOL

Registration CL

This circuit controls the flapper solenoid operation and the registration

clutch engagement.

The flapper solenoid drive signal is the PWM signal. At the beginning

of the solenoid activation, the signal is adjusted to set the solenoid at

100% duty cycle. After the plunger of the solenoid is pulled in, the sig-

nal is adjusted to set the solenoid at 70% duty cycle in order to reduce

the temperature rise with the plunger hold.

When the signal F_SOL is "H", Q2 turns on to activate the solenoid.

Similarly, when the signal R_CL is "H", Q3 turns on to engage the

clutch.

(5) Reset Circuit

(6) EEPROM Circuit

Not Mounted

The circuit transmits a reset signal to the CPU when the power is

turned on or a power brownout is detected.

This circuit consists of the data storage EEPROM and the peripheral

circuits.

The circuit includes a watchdog timer intended to the CPU system

operation diagnosis.

IC4 is a storage memory for the adjustment settings of the reverse sen-

sor (reflective sensor) and the paper width detection potentiometer,

and passes the data to the CPU through the four-wire serial interface.

After the power is turned on, normally IC3-Pin8 (*RES) is "H". How-

ever, when the +5V voltage falls to 4.2V or less because of the power

turned off or any trouble, IC3-Pin8 turns "L" to reset the CPU.

Once data is stored, the data is retained and not cleared even if the

power is turned off.

The clock signal from the CPU is transmitted to IC3-Pin3 (CK) at a reg-

ular interval to clear the watchdog timer embedded in IC3. However, if

the clock signal from the CPU disappears because of a system trouble,

IC3-Pin8 turns "L" to reset the CPU and stop the system operation.

IC4-Pin1 (CS) is the chip selection terminal, and stays "H" during pass-

ing data.

IC4-Pin2 (SK) is the serial clock terminal. The serial data is transmitted

synchronizing with the clock signal input to the terminal

IC4-Pin3 (DI) is the serial data input terminal. IC4-Pin4 (DO) is the

serial data output terminal.

AR-CF2 ELECTRICAL SECTION 9 - 7

(7) Inrush Current Limiting Circuit

JAM cover open/closed

This circuit limits an inrush current flowing into the regeneration capac-

itor included in the motor drive system to a certain value or less. The

circuit consists of the PTC thermistor (PTH2) that limits a current and

the FET (Q11) that allows a steady current flowing.

After the regeneration capacitor is fully charged, and the cathode volt-

age of ZD1 reaches over the zener voltage according to the time con-

stant of R55 and C46, Q11 is turned on because the base current from

ZD1 to Q10 turns Q10 on. And then the current flows to Q11 instead of

PTH2 to release the current limitation. The circuit consisting of PTH1

and D3 is intended to eliminate the electric charge accumulated in C46

immediately to limit an inrush current generated by momentary open-

ing and shutting of the cover.

When the JAM cover open/closed detection switch is closed, the cath-

ode voltage of ZD1 starts rising to the zener voltage according to the

time constant of R55 and C46. During the rise of the cathode voltage,

Q11 is off because no base current to Q10 keeps Q10 off, and then a

current flows to PTH2 to charge the regeneration capacitor.

(8) Operator Panel Drive Circuit

Operator Panel

This circuit includes the input circuits of the switches on the operator

panel and the drive circuits of the LEDs.

The circuits connected to CN15-Pin1, 2, 3 are the input circuits of the

switches on the operator panel. The input signal from the switch goes

"L" when the switch is on, "H" when off.

The circuits connected to CN15-Pin4,6-11 are the drive circuits of the

LEDs on the operator panel. The LED lights when the signal is "H",

does not light when "L".

AR-CF2 ELECTRICAL SECTION 9 - 8

(9) Operator Panel Circuit

This is the circuit of the operator panel board.

The operator panel drive board turns each of the LED1-6 on or off, and

detects weather each of the PSW1-3 is on or off.

Memo

LEAD-FREE SOLDER

The PWB’s of this model employs lead-free solder. The “LF” marks indicated on the PWB’s and the Service Manual mean “Lead-Free” solder.

The alphabet following the LF mark shows the kind of lead-free solder.

(1) NOTE FOR THE USE OF LEAD-FREE SOLDER THREAD

When repairing a lead-free solder PWB, use lead-free solder thread.

Never use conventional lead solder thread, which may cause a breakdown or an accident.

Since the melting point of lead-free solder thread is about 40°C higher than that of conventional lead solder thread, the use of the exclusive-use

soldering iron is recommendable.

(2) NOTE FOR SOLDERING WORK

Since the melting point of lead-free solder is about 220°C, which is about 40°C higher than that of conventional lead solder, and its soldering capacity is

inferior to conventional one, it is apt to keep the soldering iron in contact with the PWB for longer time. This may cause land separation or may exceed

the heat-resistive temperature of components. Use enough care to separate the soldering iron from the PWB when completion of soldering is

confirmed.

Since lead-free solder includes a greater quantity of tin, the iron tip may corrode easily. Turn ON/OFF the soldering iron power frequently.

If different-kind solder remains on the soldering iron tip, it is melted together with lead-free solder. To avoid this, clean the soldering iron tip after

completion of soldering work.

If the soldering iron tip is discolored black during soldering work, clean and file the tip with steel wool or a fine filer.
