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 be sure to understand all the safety instructions and correct inspection and servicing procedures that it provides before beginning repair or servicing work. Repairing or servicing the machine with insufficient knowledge about 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 the machine's labels, service personnel should be safety-conscious and take other safety precautions as necessary. When performing repair or service work not covered by this manual, you should 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. Please, dispose of batteries and accumulators correctly at your local community waste collection/recycling centre.

1. Cautions regarding the installation location

Safety instructions
Installation environment Avoid installing the machine in places exposed to direct sunlight. Sunlight will cause the temperature in the machine's interior to rise, possibly leading to malfunction of the control system. Sunlight could cause misoperation of the sensors. The heat of direct sunlight could cause deformation of the machine's plastic parts. * Also avoid installation near to a ground glass window; light and heat penetrate such windows although they are opaque. Avoid installing the machine in places subject to high or low temperature or humidity. High or low temperature or humidity could cause the machine to operate abnormally. Suitable temperature and humidity ranges are: Ambient temperature: Ambient humidity: 10y430y 40%470%

Optimum temperature and humidity: 20y, 65% If the machine is installed near to faucets, water heaters or humidifiers, or in cool (sunless) parts of a building or in the vicinity of water sources, the paper could absorb moisture and curl, leading to misfeeds or poor image quality. Avoid installing the machine in places with open flames, or where reflected heat or other hot air currents (from stoves, etc), or cold air currents from coolers, etc will strike it directly. Avoid installing the machine in poorly ventilated places. Avoid installing the machine in dusty places. The machine should not be tilting when it is used. Install the machine so that it is level. (The machine should be level to within 5mm in the front-rear direction, and 5mm in the lateral direction.) Do not install the machine on shaky, sloping or otherwise unstable surfaces.

v Mechanism

vMechanism
The machine carries out the processes of mastermaking and printing. Mastermaking In the mastermaking process, the old master on the drum is removed while the thermal head creates the scanned image on the new master and transfers it onto the drum.

Master roll

Master ejection box

Thermal head

Drum unit

Printing In the printing process, paper separated from the stack by the paper feed roller and the paper separator unit is pressed against the drum unit by the press roller. There are small holes over only the image area of the master that is attached to the drum, and ink that seeps from these holes is transferred to the paper. The paper is then peeled from the master by the paper stripper finger. The paper is directed onto the paper ejection belt by a fan unit and discharged from the machine.

bMaster
1. Characteristics of the master
(1) Structure of the thermal master

(2) Functions and materials of the layers Coated surface Prevents the film from fusing, being damaged due to friction,being peeled, and being conveyed defectively due to electric static charge. Material: silicon fluorine mold lubricant Thermal film Holes are made by the heat of the thermal head. Material: Polyethylene terephthalate (polyester) Adhesive 1] Adheres the film to the base. 2] Does not prevent ink from seeping. 3] Increases impression endurance. Base 1] Base material for the master. Fibrous layer 2] Ink seeps the base. (3) Cross section of the master during mastermaking Holes are made on the coated surface, thermal film and adhesive, while base fiber, base material for the master, is left. A part of the film fused by the thermal head is stuck to the head or banks up.

(4) Printed image As the image consists of innumerable dots, it is taken as a continuous line through our eye. IMPORTANT : Precautions to be taken in dealing in the master. (1) Do not put a heavy thing on the box in which masters are packed. This may damage the master and may cause defective mastermaking. (2) Do not leave the master as it is after it is taken out. Foreign objects are stuck to the master and this may cause defective mastermaking. (3) Keep the master from direct sunlight, too high or low temperature and too high or low humidity. (Desirable storage temperature and humidity: 5-35 C, 20-80%) If the master curls, defective plate attachment may occur.

n Ink

nInk
1. Characteristics of ink
(1)Ink type Ink for the digital printer is an emulsion type. It has a water-in-oil type structure. Emulsion type

(2) 2 characteristics The surface active agent has 2 characteristics: hydrophilic group and lipophilic group in 1 molecule. Oil and water bond together by these 2 characteristics as shown in the figure.

(3) Temperature Ink viscosity is high at a low temperature and it is low at a high temperature. So when ink is used at a low temperature (10C or less), the amount of ink transferred to the paper is smaller and the print darkness is slightly lighter. When ink is used at a high temperature (30C or more), the amount of ink transferred to the paper is larger and the print darkness is slightly darker. IMPORTANT : Precautions to be taken in handling ink (1) Storage environment When an emulsion type ink is stored at too high or low temperature for a long time, oil and water in the ink pack may be isolated. Keep the ink from too high or low temperature (5C or less, 35C or more). Also keep the ink from direct sunlight since the temperature rises sharply in the direct sunlight. When the water content is frozen, the water content is solidified and the bond characteristics decreases. When ink is stored at a high temperature, the bond characteristics decreases due to the change of the surface conditions (surface tension, solubility). The bond characteristics also decreases due to evaporatin of the water content. (2) Precautions to be taken in handling the ink pack When the ink pack is removed from the drum unit to store, put the ink pack with its mouth up, screw the cap firmly after expelling air from the ink tube. (If air is in the ink pack, water content is generated.) 19

Mastermaking / Master Feed Section
1. Description
Make the master clamp of the drum unit clamp the master top end, performing mastermaking on the master with the thermal head. (In this machine, the master on the drum is ejected at the same time when platemaking is performed.) The master is conveyed to the drum unit via the platen roller and sponge roller by driving of the stepping motor, while it is being processed in the head section. Sponge roller is driven through the master feeding clutch (electromagnetic clutch), and controls the amount of master conveyed to the master clamp section of the drum unit with the master feeding clutch ON / OFF. The end-mark sensor1 starts to detect when the end mark (black) section printed on the end of the roll master is conveyed. The indicator lights for "roll-master end" are lit on the control panel. The endmark sensor also detects whether the master is conveyed properly through the sensor.

2. Sequence of Operation Operation when the master set switch is turned on


(1) Pressing the master set switch turns on the master feeding motor (PM2) and the master feeding clutch (CL1) to rotate the platen roller and the sponge roller.

(2) When the master is fed and the end mark sensor (PS3) detects the front end of the master, the master feeding clutch (CL1) is turned off.

(3)The master feeding motor (PM2) stops approx. 3 seconds after the master set switch (SW1) is pressed.

(4) The cutter motor (M5) is turned on to move the cutter from the operation side to rear side while cutting the master.

x Mastermaking / Master Feed / Ejection Section

NOTE :

If the end mark sensor (PS3) does not detect the master for approx.3 seconds after the master set sensor (PS0) is photointerrupted, the machine stops with a warning beep.The cutter does not operate.

(5) When the cutter limit switch (rear side) is turned on, the cutter motor (M5) stops and then rotates reversely, and when the cutter limit switch (operation side) (MS2) is turned on, the motor stops. (6) The master feeding motor (PM2) is turned on to feed the master 10mm and then stops.

(1) Pressing "MASTERMAKING" key turns on the master feeding motor (PM2) and master feeding clutch (CL1) to feed out the master.

(2) When the master is fed approx. 50mm, the master feeding motor (PM2) and master feeding clutch (CL1) stops.

(3) After the print section performs master detachment, the drum moves to the master attachment position to open the master clamp, and then the master feeding motor (PM2) and the master feeding clutch (CL1) are turned on and the thermal head (TH1) starts mastermaking. The master is fed toward the master clamp.

(4) When the master is fed approx. 20mm, the master feeding clutch (CL1) is turned off to stop the sponge roller.

62

chap.2

x Mastermaking / Master Feed / Ejection Section

(5) After the master clamp clamps the top end of the master, the drum rotates to wind the finished master around it. The sponge roller is not driven by the motor because the master feeding clutch (CL1) is turned off. The roller follows the movement of the master pulled out by the drum.

(6) When mastermaking is completed, the thermal head (TH1) is turned off and the master feeding motor (PM2) feeds the master for the specified value (the total length: 490mm) and then stops.

(7) The cutter cuts the master.

(8) The master feeding motor (PM2) is turned on to feed the master approx. 10mm and then stops.

qMaster Setting Error Detection


Operation In mastermaking, the end-mark sensor1 uses 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 is detected, "MASTER SET MISS" is displayed and printing is not processed. "MASTER SET MISS" is only cleared by resetting master rightly again. (It is not cleared by turning the power off.) Printing is not performed but mastermaking is only performed when the display is cleared after "MASTER SET MISS" is displayed. (Because the master is not attached to the drum.) Timing (1) While mastermaking is being processed, the reflection light amount does not turn to be in a white level. (2) When mastermaking process is finished (before printing process), the reflection light amount is in a white level.

wMaster End Detection


Operation The end mark is printed on the area about 1 m from the end of the master. The end-mark sensor1 detects the changed value of the reflection light amount of the end mark during mastermaking,if the changed value is more than 4 and the reflection values are more than white level both,the end mark is detected. When the end mark is detected, "ROLL-MASTER END" is displayed. When "ROLL-MASTER END" is displayed, mastermaking is not performed next,please change new master.

3. Function of Parts
(1) Master Ejection Sensor
Description Photo-emission from the master ejection sensor is received on the master ejection sensor, and the sensor detects with the photo strength whether the master is pulled to the master ejection box. Photo-receiving amount is checked with the HELP mode H-05 \ see p.239 HELP5. 2HELP mode H-05 value

00 Smaller Larger Photo-receiving amount

1. Master Ejection Error Detection


Operation While one mastermaking is being processed, the difference of photo-receiving amount is less than 8 by checking with the HELP5, which is determined as an master ejection error. The following display and operation are shown. 2"MAST. EJECT ERROR" is displayed on the error display panel and printing is not processed. 2 "MAST. EJECT ERROR" is cleared with the ALL CLEAR key , STOP key or by performing mastermaking / printing. 2A master ejection error is not detected for one mastermaking soon after a master ejection error or master setting error is detected.
IMPORTANT : If incorrect sensing occurs due to sensor malfunction, etc., HELP32can be used to

prohibit master ejection error sensing.

HELP mode H-32 \ see p.265

Timing If the variation in the amount of light received by the master ejection sensor during the making of 1 master is less than a certain level (8 in the HELP5 display value), a master ejection error is deemed to have occurred. HELP mode H-05 \ see p.239

Time Value without master : the photo receiving amount of the master ejection sensor at the position where the first paper jam is detected after starting mastermaking.

2. Rotation Control of the Roll-up Motor


If the roll-up motor is kept rotating when the master tip end is pulled to the ejection box in the master detachment process, the drum is actuated by the master and the stop position slips. To prevent this, the roll-up motor is stopped when the master is detected by the master ejection sensor. (If the master is not detected by the master ejection sensor, the Roll-up motor is stopped by the timer.) 75

cPaper Feed Section


1. Description
Feeding of the paper is performed by the paper separator (employing the center separation method) and paper feed roller (there is no corner finger). Elevation of the feed tray is powered by the elevator motor. Paper fed by the paper separator and paper feed roller is fed further by the timing roller and guide roller to the point where its leading edge is sandwiched between the drum and the press roller. Then the pression of the timing roller and guide roller is released (by moving the guide roller upward several mm), so that the paper is fed through at a speed equal to the circumferential speed of the drum and press roller. The press roller sensor senses the paper feed condition; if a feed error occurs, the message PAPER LEFT JAM is displayed. For details, see 1.Paper Jam Detection Timing in chapter 2 (n Paper ejection section). \See page 107

(4) Escape the Guide Roller


After the Press roller is pressed to the drum, the printing paper is gripped firmly with the drum and Press roller, the Guide roller is released from the Timing roller. This is called "escaped". Escape timing is within a period when the printing paper is conveyed about 10 mm after it is gripped with the drum and Press roller.
IMPORTANT : When the timing is too late, the printing paper is gripped at two places too long. Thus

master elongation and slippage occur. On the contrary, when the timing is too early, the printing paper is not gripped at all, and it is not well settled. Thus creasing of paper and dispersion of the printing position occurs.

(5) Paper Feed Length


The paper feed length is the length by which the paper feed roller feeds out the print paper. When the paper feed roller feeds out the print 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 and the timing roller, since the distance between these two items is only 80mm, while the length by which the paper is fed out from the paper feed roller is 95mm. This arching has the effect of correcting any skewing of the paper (as the leading edge is held firm between the guide and timing rollers). It also has the effect of lessening the load on the timing roller when it feeds the paper through, thus minimizing slippage. For feed amount, the leading edge of the paper is detected by the paper feed length sensor and paper feed is HELP mode H-66,67 \ see p.284-285 controlled by program( HELP mode H-66,67 ).

IMPORTANT : If paper feed length is too large: the arching dimension will be too large, and if the paper is

of a very stiff type, it will buckle up between the paper feed roller and the paper feed inlet (upper), causing a PAPER JAM error ("PAPER LEFT JAM"). If paper feed length is too small: the arching dimension will be too small, so that arching will be unable to correct skewing of the paper, and skewing and wrinkling will be liable to occur. Furthermore, the slippage that occurs when the timing roller feeds the paper through will be very large, resulting in printing position errors.

Description The signal lever is positioned at the back of the Guide roller / Timing roller. Whether the paper is fed by the Timing roller is detected mechanically. 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 the paper, the pinch lever also jumps. Accordingly the Press roller is out of control and rises. The above operation keeps the drum from dirts as the Press roller is in contact with the drum when the paper is not fed. As the Press roller sensor detects rising of the Press roller, Whether the paper is fed from the paper feed section to the printing section normally is detected indirectly.

Sensing of paper decrease 2As printing progresses and the paper decreases, the paper feed roller gradually descends, until it obstructs the sensors light beam. When this happens, the feed tray is raised until the light beam is restored. If the light beam is not restored within about 30 seconds of the sending of the RAISE FEED TRAY command, error E002 (elevator lock) is displayed.

Sequence of Operation 2When the JOG Switch (Drum Rotator Switch) Is Pressed Down In the normal state, the drum rotates (within one rotation) when the JOG switch (drum rotator switch) is kept pressed and the drum stops at the stop position, reducing the speed to the slow (before-stop) speed at the first master detachment position. When the P roll sensor is in the photopassing state (P roll ON) at the first master detachment position, the drum passes the stop position without reducing the speed.

1. Paper Jam Detection Timing Description Paper jamming is divided into two types: "PAPER RIGHT JAM" (ejection side) and "PAPER LEFT JAM"(feeder side). Paper jamming is detected under the following conditions. When paper jamming is detected, "PAPER JAM" is displayed on the error display panel on the control panel, and the machine stops printing operation. The display is cleared by removing the cause of paper jam and pressing the STOP key or by restarting printing.
2Paper jamming on the ejection side

JAM1: The bottom end of the paper is not ejected. When the jam sensor (light-emitting and light-receiving) is interrupted at the timing of jam detection position edge (photopassing \ photointerrupting) of the drum home / jam detection position sensor PS5. JAM2: The tip end of the paper is not ejected. When the JAM sensor is not interrupted at all while the P roll sensor is in the state of photopassing (pressed ON). JAM (stop): When the JAM sensor is interrupted as the master ejection box is open when the machine stops. The display is cleared when the sensor is in the state of photopassing. 2Paper jamming on the feeder side JAM3: The paper does not pass the signal lever though the paper is fed. The P roll sensor is not in the state of photopassing when the drum rotates twice after the paper feed solenoid is ordered ON. Sequence of Operation

The ink control section is in the drum unit. The ink control section is supplied with ink in the ink pack attached to the drum unit by the motor. The ink control section has an ink detection function, and is always supplied with a fixed amount of ink. Printing darkness is adjusted by changing the gap between the squeegee roller and the ink roller. Five color inks are available: black, red, blue, green and brown. Perform color printing to replace the drum unit for each color. (Press the drum rotation switch to the drum home position to replace the drum unit.) In this machine, whether there is a drum or not is detected. If the drum is not attached properly, it is taken as "DRUM NOT SET", and "DRUM NOT SET" is displayed on the control panel.

(19) Paper Jams in the Paper Feed Side


Causes Printing paper not suitable Symptoms If paper is too thick, it wont be likely fed. If too thin, double sheets may be fed. Paper not clearly cut: 2 sheets still adhere to each other. Much paper scraps may deteriorate the paper feed roller and separator performance. Paper gets stuck in transfer path, causing creasing and tearing. If pressure on paper is insufficient, paper will not be fed. If pressure on paper is excessive, double sheets will be fed. Paper may not be fed. If gap is too large, separator unit will rattle in direction of paper transfer path, causing double sheets to be fed. If gap is too small, paper separator unit cannot follow angle change due to paper feed shaft up-down movement, which may cause double-sheet or slanted feed, and creasing. Wear, or adhesion of paper scraps causes deterioration in separating performance, resulting in double-sheet feed. Countermeasure Explain causes to user. Have user change to the paper conforming to specifications.

Dirt*foreign matter in transfer path Incorrect paper feed path pressure Worn paper feed roller Paper separator unit gap

Remove any dirt or foreign matter. Explain to users how to select correct pressure for paper. Replace paper feed roller. Perform paper separator unit gap adjustment.

Clean separating surfaces. If any trouble exists, replace. Perform separator unit gap adjustment on new unit. \ see page 169 Perform separation pressure adjustment. Perform paper feed tray upper limit sensor adjustment.

Paper separator unit

Separation pressure

If pressure is very low, no paper will be fed.

\ see page 170

Paper tray upper position limit

Paper slant is large, causing creases. During printing, paper feed errors often occur immediately before or after paper tray rises. If amount is too short, paper slant cannot be corrected, printing position may not be uniform, or paper may not be fed. If amount is too long, loop becomes too large, causing paper to buckle up between paper feed roller and timing roller, resulting in feed error. Clutch slippage will reduce paper feed amount. If clutch does not disengage properly, the paper feed segment gear will not return correctly, leading to reduced feed amount. (See Paper feed amount above.) If Guide roller pressure is insufficient, paper will not be gripped properly, and timing roller will not assure constant feed amount. As a result, printing position will not be uniform. In the worst case, no paper will reach drum. If there is a gap between Guide roller and the timing roller, paper slant cannot be corrected. If the timing roller clutch slips, feed amount will not be constant. As a result, printing position will not be uniform. In the worst case, no paper will reach drum. If the timing roller clutch does not disengage properly, the paper feed segment gear will not return correctly, leading to reduced and unstable feed amount. As a result, printing position will not be uniform. In the worst case, no paper will reach drum. Paper may be damaged in the part of leading edge that touches the signal lever. In the worst case, paper may stick to the signal lever.

(20) Paper Jams in Paper Eject Side


Causes Printing paper not suitable Symptoms If paper is too thin, it will stick to drum and scrunch up. If grain of paper is sideways relative to transfer direction, paper will crunch up, or get jammed on the paper receiving plate. If paper curl upward, it will likely scrunch up. If curl downward, it will likely get jammed on the paper receiving plate. If set-solid exists near leading edge of paper, paper will likely scrunch up. If set-solid is blasted to one side of paper, paper will not be ejected in a straight line. As a result, ejected paper will be disorderly piled and likely jam on the paper receiving plate. If ambient air is dry, static electricity may cause disordered piles or scrunch-up of paper. Countermeasure Explain causes to users. Have user change to paper conforming to specifications.

Adjust leading edge margin to about 10 mm. (Too long margin will cause adverse results.) Explain causes to users. If possible, have user change position for set-solid. Explain causes to users. Have user desist from excessive use of A/C or heating. If possible, have user take anti-dryness measures including humidifiers. Perform printing position sensors adjustment.

Static electricity

Leading edge margin

If leading edge margin is not correct, scrunch-up of paper will likely result. IMPORTANT: Scrunch-up of paper may also result if the margin is too long. If Guide roller pressure is insufficient, paper will not be gripped properly, causing less feed amount determined by timing roller, or disappearance of leading edge margin. This results in the paper scrunchup. Any slippage of the timing roller clutch will reduce feed amount and eliminate leading edge margin. This results in the paper scrunch-up. If the timing roller clutch does not disengage properly, the timing roller segment gear will not return correctly, causing reduction of feed amount or disappearance of leading edge margin. As a result, paper will scrunch up. If timing is too low, or the gap between drum and the leading edge of paper is too large, paper stripper finger will not enter into the gap, causing the paper scrunch-up. If sufficient air is not delivered from the tip of the paper stripper finger, it will not lift the leading edge of paper off drum. Scrunch-up of paper will result.

Air

Check if the hole in the fingers tip is blocked by foreign matter. Check pipes for kinks or disconnections. Check valves and O-rings on the air pump. If the belt is broken or stretched, replace it.

Paper ejection belt

If the speed of the paper ejection belt, if cannot eject the paper onto the paper receiving plate with sufficient force. As a result, there will be paper jams in the vicinity of the discharge port. (Sometimes the trailing edge of the paper gets caught in the jamming sensor and a paper jamming error is displayed.) If the suction force of the fan drops, it will not be able to blow the paper (which has risen clear of the ejection belt) onto the paper receiving plate with be paper jams in the vicinity of the discharge port. (Sometimes the trailing edge of the paper gets caught in the jamming sensor and a paper jamming error is displayed.) Too much ink transferred to paper will likely cause scrunch-up of paper.

Paper ejection fan unit

Clean the fan. If it still does not work properly, replace it.

Ink

Perform ink volume adjustment of drum. Explain user that ink transfer volume increases immediately after paper scrunchup, and advise user to restart printing at standard speed, then.

x Overview

x Overview
The Duprinter's HELP modes can be broadly classified into the following types:

x Modes for ROM version display


These modes display the version numbers of the main PCB unit's ROM (U19), the I/F PCB unit's ROM,the Panel PCB unit's ROM, and the DSP(U13).

x Modes for adjustment / specification setting


These modes set the functioning of variable resistors and switches by using the main PCB unit's EEPROM(U23) to memorize settings made on the operation panel. All of these adjustments and settings are made at the factory prior to shipment of each Duprinter.
IMPORTANT New adjustments and appropriate settings must be made after the

main PCB unit is replaced and after initialization setting has been implemented (using HELP mode H-27).

x Modes for function checks

These modes permit 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, take care not to put hands or fingers in motor-related moving parts that could start up unexpectedly.

Failure to heed the above could result in crushed or otherwise injured hands or fingers.

x Modes for sensor and switch displays


These modes provide displays of the conditions of sensors and switches.

x Modes for 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 count values displayed in the user mode.
