Make sure that the correct end of the metal screen is overlapping. (The right side
overlaps, as viewed from the non-operation side, as shown above.)
The 4 screws holding the drum master clamper are longer than the 12 screws
holding the metal screen, although they are similar in appearance. Be careful not
to mix them up or use the wrong screws.
When installing the metal screen, secure the trailing edge first with the 2 screws.
Then, tighten the other screws while removing the slack from the screen. Make
sure that the gap between the drum flanges and the screen is 0.3 mm or less, as
shown above. (The two holes [A] on the trailing side are round holes and the
other holes are long holes, to allow for the removal of the slack.)
Position the springs [B] and [C] (one each at the front and rear) as shown when
reinstalling the drum master clamper [D].
Do not scratch the cloth screen or metal screen.

!CAUTION
Normally the doctor roller gap is not adjusted or changed. It tends to be
difficult to change in the field. If the gap is too narrow, an uneven image
may appear on the prints. If it is too wide, too much ink will be applied to
the drum screens, resulting in ink leakage from the drum.

1. Make sure that a 0.07 mm gap gauge goes through the gap [A] between the ink
and doctor rollers, and that a 0.09 mm gap gauge does not.
NOTE: 1) The gap should be checked at both ends of the doctor roller. Insert a
gap gauge at each end of the roller. The gap tends to be larger for
the center.
2) While the gap gauge is inserted, hold the doctor and ink rollers with
your fingers in order to stop the rollers from rotating.
3) While the gap gauge is inserted, hold the end of the gap gauge.
2. If the gap is out of the standard, loosen the screw [B] and adjust the gap by
turning the cam bushing [C] for the front and for the rear.
NOTE: Make sure to repeat the adjustment for both ends of the rollers.

Duplicators Duplicating Process Master Ejecting)
Procedure
The drum turns to the master eject position. Then the clamper [A] opens.
Master eject rollers [B] pick-up the masters leading edge and feed the master for
0.6 seconds into the master eject box [C].
The drum then turns at 30 rpm while the master eject rollers continue to feed the
used master into the eject box.
The drum stops after making about 1.5 turns. The master eject motor also stops.
The pressure plate [D] then compresses the used masters in the eject box.
The capacity is 30 used masters (under normal conditions)
The master eject process is skipped when the drum master sensor [E] detects no
master on the drum.

from the clamper.
NOTE: 1) After the master making key is pressed and before the clamper motor
starts, the master eject position sensor [I] is checked (the drum must be
at the master eject position).
2) The sensor actuators on the link [C], the clamper open sensor [J], and
the clamper close sensor [K] determine the clamper open and close
positions.
3) The master clamper uses a magnetic plate to clamp the master's
leading edge.
4) The drum guide catches the drum at the master eject position while the
master clamper is being opened. When the clamper motor turns on in
reverse to close the clamper, the drum guide also disengages the pin
and the drum can turn.

Procedure
1. When the clamper is open and the master's leading edge is released from the
clamper, the master eject motor turns on for 0.6 seconds to pick up the leading
edge.
2. Then, the clamper motor reverses to close the clamper.
3. The drum then starts turning at the slower speed (30 rpm). At the same time,
the master eject rollers turn again to feed the master into the master eject box.
4. When the drum reaches the master feed position, the master eject and drum
motors stop. The master feed position is 109 encoder pulses after the feed start
timing sensor is actuated.
5. During this process, the master eject sensor [D] detects master eject jams.

C252D011.WMF
Mechanism
Master feed motor [A] (stepper motor)
Gears [B]
Feeds the master (The thermal head makes an image on the master.)
1. After the old master has been ejected, the drum stops at the master feed
position and the master clamper opens, ready to clamp the new master.
2. When the clamper is open, the tension roller releases and the master is fed to
the clamper on the drum. For details of the tension roller, see section 6.5.3.
3. After the clamper closes, the master feed motor feeds the master while the
drum rotates intermittently at 30 rpm. The intermittent rotation keeps a buckle
[F] in the master above the master feed guide to absorb shocks from the
wrapping operation.
4. The tension roller [E] keeps the master under tension. This roller reduces the
master making time, because it allows the drum to turn continuously during
wrapping. Without this roller, if the drum kept turning, the master would crease.
5. The main motor turns off when the drum is at the master eject position. The
master feed motor continues to feed the master until master making completed.
Then the master feed motor turns off, and cutting is done.
NOTE: Springs press the thermal head against the platen roller. The pressure is
applied when the master set cover, which includes the platen roller, is
closed.

When the cutter starts, the drum is stopped at the master eject position (drum
HP).
The cutter moves backwards and forwards. While the cutter travels towards the
rear (non-operation side), it cuts the master. The motor turns in one direction.
The cutter returns to the home position when it reaches the rear because of the
two different spiral threads on the screw shaft.
The cutter usually cuts a master of about 470 mm in length.
After cutting, the drum starts turning again to wrap the remaining part of the master
around the drum. The leading edge of the master that was cut remains at the
cutting position, ready to make the next master.

The doctor roller squeezes the ink on the ink roller to produce an even thickness of
ink on the ink roller.
NOTE: 1) The ink roller drive gear [E] has a one-way clutch to prevent the ink
roller from being turned in reverse if the drum is manually turned in
reverse.
2) The ink roller does not touch the metal screen when the machine is not
printing.
3) During printing, the ink on the ink roller is applied to the paper through
the holes in the screens and the master. This happens when the press
roller [F] under the drum moves up to press the drum screen and the
master against the ink roller. (!: Digital Duplicators Ink Supply

Mechanism
When the ink level is low, the pins [A] do not touch the ink.
The ink pump motor (6.6.3) keeps the ink level normal by supplying ink when the
level is low.
NOTE: 1) The ink detection pins [A] detect the capacitance between the ink roller
[B] and doctor roller [C].
2) If the pins detect an insufficient amount of ink after activating the ink
pump motor for 40 seconds, a "no ink condition" is detected. The add
ink indicator on the operation panel will light.
3) There is an ink supply mode, which is useful when installing a new
drum. When the Clear/Stop key is pressed while holding down the 0
key, the drum turns 40 rotations to supply ink inside the drum.
4) The ink roller blades [D] on both ends of the ink roller scrape off the
built-up ink on the ends of the ink roller.

After the printing paper is caught between the drum and the press roller, the
registration motor stops and the upper registration roller [A] is released from the
lower registration roller. This is to prevent interference from the registration
rollers while the drum and press roller transport the paper.
When the high point of the cam [B] on the drum drive gear reaches the cam
follower [C], the shaft [D] rotates clockwise (as seen from the operation side) to
release the upper registration roller [A] from the lower registration roller.

When not in the printing cycle, the two solenoids [A] stay off and the stoppers [B]
lock the brackets [C] to keep the press roller [D] away from the drum.
When the 1st sheet of paper is fed, the solenoid is energized but the brackets
are still locked by the stoppers due to strong tension from the springs [E].
When the high points of the cams [G] on the front and rear drum flanges reach
the cam followers [F] on both sides of the press roller shaft, a small clearance is
made between the stoppers and the brackets. The two solenoid plungers are
pulled down at the same time, releasing the stoppers from the brackets.
Printing pressure is applied by tension from the springs [E] when the cam
followers [F] come off the high points of the cams [G].
During the printing cycle, the solenoids stay on. However, if paper does not
reach the registration sensor [H] at the proper time (when the cam follower is on
the high point of the cam), the solenoids are de-energized to lock the brackets.
The printing pressure is released when the cams push down the cam followers
so that the press roller does not contact the master clamper [I].
After printing is finished, the solenoids de-energize and the springs push the
stoppers back. Before the drum returns to the home position, the stoppers lock
the brackets again when the cams push down the cam followers.

The two side fence friction pads [A] are included as accessories. These are not
used normally, but if paper multi-feed frequently occurs, the friction pads can be
installed to apply stopping pressure to the paper. These are especially useful
when thin paper is used.
The users can install the side fence friction pads if they are using thin paper.

During printing, the distance between the exit pawl [A] and the drum is very small,
to prevent paper wrap jams. However, when the master clamper [B] approaches
the exit pawl (as the drum turns), the pawl has to be moved away from the drum
to prevent it from being damaged by the master clamper. This is controlled by the
front drum flange [C], which is cam-shaped, and the cam follower [E] on the exit
pawl shaft.
When the cam follower is not pushed out by the drum flange, the exit pawl
closely approaches the drum surface, due to the tension from a spring [G].
As the master clamper approaches the exit pawl, the high point of the drum
flange cam [C] moves into contact with the cam follower [E] pushing it down. This
moves the cam follower arm [F] downwards. The pawl shaft turns clockwise to
move the pawl away from the drum.

When printing finishes and the printing pressure is released, the cam follower
arm [F] is engaged by the printing pressure release arm [D] and held in the lower
position. Therefore, after printing finishes, the cam follower is out of contact with
the cam, and the exit pawl moves away from the drum to its normal position.
