CANON PROFESSIONAL PUNCHER-A1 DIE SET - INFORMATION SHEET  
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING THE DIE SETS PLEASE READ  
Your CANON Professional Puncher-A1 die set (C4, W2 and W3 versions), is  
supplied with a felt pad containing oil, a pad retaining magnet and shield*. Do not  
throw these items away!  
The felt pad will provide lubrication to the punch pins under normal usage and will  
help to keep the punch pins clean. The magnet is intended to keep the felt pad in  
place during typical handling. If the pad and magnet came off of this die set during  
shipping or unpacking, please replace them as indicated in the accompanying  
diagram.  
Keep this sheet as a reference in the event that the pad and magnet are removed or  
replaced.

3. MAINTENANCE  
3.1 INSPECTION, CLEANING AND LUBRICATION  
The following maintenance should be performed once annually, under normal use.  
Operational Inspection  
1. If operating properly, the Professional Puncher-A1 will punch the same types of  
copy paper and cover materials handled by the copier/printer. It will run at the  
speed of the printer.  
2. Hole quality will vary between different grades of paper.  
External Cleaning  
1. Make sure you disconnect the Professional Puncher-A1 from its power source  
before cleaning. The cover may be cleaned with a soft cloth moistened with mild  
detergent and warm water.  
2. Do not use chemical cleaners or solvents as these may have a harmful effect.  
Use detergent sparingly to avoid contact with electrical components.  
Internal Cleaning  
Before internal cleaning, be sure to disconnect power to the Professional Puncher-  
A1 and ensure that you retain control of the power cord.  
Occasionally, it will be necessary to remove the rear cover and remove paper dust  
built up around the motor and other electrical components. Use a vacuum cleaner if  
possible. A small paintbrush can also be used but extreme care should be used  
around electrical components.  
Internal Inspection  
Whenever the cover has been removed for corrective maintenance, visually inspect  
for defects such as loose screws or nuts, abraded wire insulation, loose terminals,  
etc. Correct any defects before returning the machine to service.  
Lubrication Points and Recommended Lubricant  
Lubricate the punch pins and/or the felt pad once every 50,000-punch cycles with  
oil (High Quality Machine Oil is recommended).  
Method:  
1. Sparingly depress the Pin Guide so that the Punch Pins protrude from  
the bottom plate, oil the ends of the pins and wipe clean.  
2. Apply oil directly to the felt pad (If so equipped).  
3. Apply two drops of oil to each of the two shoulder bolts and springs.  
If Punch Drive Module Assembly is ever removed for service, check for sufficient  
grease on the cranks.

GREASING CRANKS  
Die Sets  
Professional Puncher-A1 Die Sets have an average expected life of approximately  
500,000 sheets of paper. This life may vary depending on variables such as  
following the lubrication schedule described above, the type of paper being punched,  
the cover stocks being punched and the typical length of the average job.  
3.2 DIE SET MAINTENANCE  
Die sets have a minimum life expectancy of 500,000 cycles depending on  
application, environmental factors and maintenance. Periodic lubrication of the  
punch pins can extend the life significantly. CANON recommends use of a high  
quality machine oil (do not use spray oils) every 50,000-punch cycles.  
SHOULDER BOLT  
WITH SPRING

The die set cannot be repaired or adjusted.  
Other than lubrication, if a Die set is damaged or worn, the Die set should be  
replaced.

3.3 PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE  
The following preventative maintenance should be performed during the regular  
printer inspection intervals.  
Disconnect the main cord set and retain it in your control for your safety.  
Remove the rear cover.  
Perform a visual inspection; clean, adjust and replace components as required.  
Vacuum Paper Chad out of Back Gage Mechanism and Die Guide as well as  
base.  
Optical Sensors; Remove dust and particles from the lens using a soft cloth.  
Inspect Timing Belts for wearing or fraying.  
Inspect any Latching Mechanisms, clear any jams paper debris.  
Inspect Left / Right Punch alignment by running paper with each die set, check for  
even hole alignment by folding the paper in half. If adjustment is required, ensure  
that the Die Latch is properly adjusted.  
Inspect the Door closing latch for proper alignment, if bent, instructs the operator  
to avoid closing the door with paper path latches out of place.  
Lubrication of the Die Set Pins (see note above)  
Cams (when punch is pulled), lubricate with high quality grease  
Inspect the Idler Rollers, clean if necessary.  
Inspect the Drive Rollers, clean if necessary.  
Inspect the Paper Path Panels, clean if necessary.  
Inspect each Die Set for wear. Run at least 100 sheets of paper. Look for signs of  
excess paper jamming. Inspect the hole quality. Hanging chad or ragged holes can  
lead to paper jams. If the hole is cut sharp enough that there is no hanging chad  
and the paper passes through the system without catching and jamming, the die  
set still has life.  
As with any electro-mechanical device, isolated component failures may occur.  
3.4 SETTING THE RIGHT EXPECTATIONS  
Product Positioning:  
Professional Puncher-A1 provides a flexible, cost effective punching solution for light  
to medium level production oriented customers.  
Designed for customers that have the need to punch their documents at a  
maximum of 60-70% of their overall workflow.  
Recommended punching limit to 200k sheets per month. (600k sheets in  
bypass mode)  
Die Sets will decrease in performance over time based on the types of stocks and  
weights that are being punched.  
CANON guarantees a minimum of 500k punches per die set. However, if  
paper stock punched is typically 20lb bond, then up to 2 million punches can  
be achieved.  
Should be regarded as a long-term supply item.

Magnetic or interchangeable tip screwdriver.  
4.2 DIE SET POSITION CRADLE ADJUSTMENT, CENTERING  
PUNCHED HOLES  
The die set position cradle is set in the factory; however, because of the punched-  
hole spacing on the PB die sets, there is a minimal amount of paper on each edge of  
the punched paper. The die set position cradle may have to be fine adjusted to  
center the punched-hole pattern in the paper.  
Listed below are the step-by-step instructions to adjust the die set to the proper  
position:  
The punched-hole alignment must be checked on a piece of punched paper. Fold  
the punched sheet of paper in half and the punched-holes should be aligned. If the  
punched-holes are not aligned, then the die set cradle must be adjusted to align  
the punched holes.  
NOTE: The paper path is always constant, if the holes are not centered; you  
must adjust the die set cradle.

Coupler is loose and the Rear Panel will come out.  
B. Remove the “6” Screws that secure the face of this Assembly.  
C. Remove the “2” Screws that secure this Assembly from the top.  
D. Pull and walk the entire sheet metal assembly of the Paper Guide Aligner  
up and outward. You can grab the Assembly at the Roller cut out with your  
fingers.  
NOTE: The Helical coupling is very delicate, be gentle.  
NOTE: In order to access these screws, you must first remove the Die Set  
Storage Shelf and the Cable Shield attached to the Die Storage Shelf  
at the paper entrance side. Moving the Die Storage Shelf aside will  
enable better access to the “2” screws with a short (7” or less) Phillips  
Screw Driver.  
ALIGNER DRIVE  
BELT ASSY  
E. Bend in the Tab of the frame near the middle, front area to allow  
enough clearance to work the sheet metal Paper Guide Aligner  
Assembly out.  
IMPORTANT: As you do this, disconnect the Sensor harness behind  
the Assembly as soon as you are able to reach it.  
Step 11: Before you remove the Green Belt Aligner Roller Assembly from the  
sheet metal paper guide, observe the perfectly flush surfaces of the  
Green Belt Aligner Roller Assembly to the sheet metal surface of the  
Rear, Drive Side, Paper Guide Aligner Assembly. Hold a straight edge  
like a 12”metal ruler across the surface of the sheet metal face and the

metal (w/o a belt) Green Belt Aligner Roller itself. Note that the two metal  
surfaces are flush.  
Step 12: Remove the Green Belt Aligner Roller Assembly by removing the “4”  
screws.  
Important: Leave the Coupler attached.  
Assembly Process  
Step 13: Stretch the new green belt onto the Aligner Roller Assembly, green side  
out.  
Take care when handling the Aligner Roller Assembly so as not to  
damage the Flex Coupling.  
Rotate the shaft to confirm that the belt tracks properly.

Check that the metal surface of the Aligner Roller Assembly is flush with the Sheet  
Metal surface of the Paper Guide. A 12” metal ruler works well to check this  
adjustment. Slip the ruler under the green belt and press it flat against the two  
surfaces. Adjust the Aligner and snug the screws when perfectly flush.  
NOTE: The green belt should look like the drawing shown after step 11.

AFTER ASSEMBLY  
4.7 BACK GAGE AND CHAD CONTROL MECHANISM -  
ADJUSTMENT, ASSEMBLY / DISASSEMBLY PROCEDURE  
The Back Gage with Chad Control Mechanism is available as a kit service.  
General Description:  
The Professional Puncher-A1 Chad Control Mechanism directs Paper Chad into the  
Chad Disposal Container, significantly reducing the amount of Chad that could flow  
through the paper path. There will be some Chad that falls outside the Chad  
Container. For example, when the customer changes their Die Set, some Chad  
always comes with the Die and falls to the bottom of the machine or to the floor. As a  
general practice, it is a good Preventative Maintenance practice to vacuum the inside  
of the Professional Puncher-A1 periodically.

Step 8:  
Step 9:  
Install the die set. Test the Professional Puncher-A1 system running first  
one page at a time, then two pages then 5 pages, then 10 pages and  
lastly run 50 test pages.  
Replace the cover and run a few more test jobs.  
Step 10: Skew Adjustment: Check for proper Hole alignment to paper edge.  
The back gage is designed to give you some adjustment when the three screws are  
loosened.  
It will give you up and down play, which allows you to remove skew.  
The ideal situation is to have the back gage all the way to the top position.  
If not, paper can slip past the paper stops and give you a deep punch. This may  
occur if the back gage is tightened into place in it’s bottom most position. This  
situation is most likely to occur when using the VeloBind or PB die sets, which are at  
one end of the Back Gage tolerance spectrum.  
Three-Hole Die Set: At the other end of the Back Gage tolerance is the Three-Hole  
Die Set. If the customer owns a Three-Hole Die, check this die to see if it is easy to  
insert and remove. If the die is too tight you will need to lower the back gage slightly  
to achieve the tightness you desire, while still retaining the PB and VeloBind  
functionality mentioned above.  
Now you need to run some paper and check for skew, at this point you can now use  
the three screws to adjust skew if needed. After the adjustment is made re test with  
the three-hole die. If all is well re test with the VeloBind die to make sure there are no  
deep punches.  
Step 11: Back Gage Adjustment to eliminate Deep Punching: Check for proper  
operation with PB Die Set: In some cases, using a PB Die Set, you may  
have an occurrence of a “Deep Punch” symptom. If this shows up during  
testing, loosen the three main screws that secure the entire Back Gage  
Assembly, push the entire mechanism upward, taking up all play, tighten  
the three screws securely. Test approximately 200 to 500 sheets of  
paper through the PB die. Check for no deep punching and no paper  
jamming in the Die Set area  
4.9 TO CLEAR A PAPER JAM  
To clear a jam, first press the stop button on the printer, then check the printer  
screen to see the area of the jam.  
If the jam is in the printer or finisher only, follow the information on the screen to  
clear the jam.  
If the screen shows a jam in the punch, try to follow this sequence.  
1. Open punch door.  
2. Turn off the power  
3. Turn punch knob J3 to home position.  
4. Open top cover J1.  
5. Open front paper door lever J2.  
6. Open exit paper door lever J8.  
7. Open bottom U-channel J7 by pressing in lever J6 and lower.  
30

8. Clear paper from all these areas by turning knobs as shown.  
9. When all the paper is cleared turn on power shut the door make sure the jam  
light is out if not go back to step 1. And find the paper that is not clear.  
10. When all the paper is cleared from the punch and the light is out follow the steps  
used above to clear the printer and finisher.  
11. Hit the punch green button and then the resume button on the printer, operation  
should start.  
12. If by chance you do not hit the green button the punch will go into bypass mode  
at this time you will have to hit the stop button on the printer hit the green button  
on the punch then the resume button on the printer.  
13. This is only my way to clear a jam after you become more familiar with the punch  
this procedure can change to your own refinement.

5. TECHNICAL TROUBLESHOOTING  
5.1 THEORY OF OPERATION  
The CANON Stream Punch is a machine that punches various die set hole patterns  
into single sheets of paper. The machine is placed between a printer / copier and a  
finisher. There are two paper paths. One is the bypass section, which does not  
punch paper. The other is the punch path. The punch path can be selected by  
pressing the green button on the top of the Stream Punch.  
The Stream Punch consists of several input / output devices to operate the machine  
functions. The system intelligence is a Microchip micro-controller PIC17C752. The  
present code is written in Microchip assembler. The list of I/O devices is:

SERIAL EEPROM CONTROL:

For the Stream Punch to operate, all optical sensors must be clear. Any blocked  
sensor or open door will prevent operation. The machine may operate in bypass  
mode with or without a chip tray or die set. Both of these must be present to punch.  
Stepper #1 Control:  
If punch is not enabled, the Professional Puncher-A1 will run in bypass mode (no  
punching). Either the printer or the first sheet entering the machine will turn on both  
stepper motors. The time is measured for the leading edge of the first sheet to pass  
sensor 8. Knowing the distance between sensors and the time it takes for the sheet  
to pass both sensors, we can determine the speed of the paper. The time is  
compared to a list and Stepper 1 and stepper 2 are adjusted to closely match the  
incoming speed.  
If the punch is enabled, the backstop is raised, the brake is engaged, and both the  
transport and punch motors are started. Also, the divert solenoid is activated to  
direct the sheets into the punch path. As above, the input speed is measured, this  
time using Sensor 1 and 2. Stepper 1 is adjusted to meet the measured input speed;  
Stepper 2 is accelerated to the speed of the transport motor. Sensor 2 now delays  
for a time period based on the input speed to ensure that the sheet has cleared the  
printer exit roller. After this delay, stepper 1 accelerates the sheet to match the  
transport speed. 19 msec after the sheet’s trailing edge passes sensor 2, Stepper 1  
is decelerated to match the previously measured input speed.  
Punch Control:  
The punch cycle begins 40 msec after the leading edge of the sheet reaches Sensor  
3. The brake is released, and the clutch is engaged. Sensor 9 now looks for the  
leading edge of its flag, and when seen, the clutch is disengaged, and the backstop  
is lowered. When the trailing edge of the flag is seen, the brake is engaged. When  
Sensor 3 sees the trailing edge of the sheet, the backstop is raised.  
Stepper #2 Control:  
72msec after the leading edge of the sheet passes Sensor 6, Stepper 2 is  
decelerated to match the measured input speed from the printer. This delay ensures  
that the sheet exits from the transport rollers. When the trailing edge of the sheet  
passes Sensor 6, Stepper 2 is accelerated to match the speed of the transport  
motor.  
GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING:  
One of the first rules of troubleshooting is to first understand the normal operating  
sequence of the machine. Then carefully listen to the key operator’s description of  
the problem or complaint. Follow this by your own visual observation. The cause of  
the problem can be determined by noting at which point in the operating cycle the  
problem occurred. To pinpoint the problem to a defective electrical component or  
mechanical part, use the Troubleshooting Guide and the Electrical Schematic  
Diagram.  
During any service call, it is a good practice to check the cable connections for fit  
and alignment.

user interface screen of the printer will display a message to the operator that the  
Chip Drawer must be emptied. At this time, simply open the Access Door of the  
Professional Puncher-A1, remove the Paper Chip Drawer, empty int’s contents into a  
suitable trash container, reinstall the Paper Chip Drawer and close the Access Door.  
Now the Printer will restart.  
During this operation, you must keep the Professional Puncher-A1 Power On (O), so  
that the sensors are able to identify this action. This will ensure that the system will  
reset itself.
