Initial issue
12-257 Staple Front Corner Sensor Off
• The Staple Front Corner Sensor does not turn off after the move from Front Corner has
completed.
• The Staple Front Corner Sensor does not turn off after starting to move from Front Corner.
Initial Actions
• Check for obstructions in the Stapler Unit area (Figure 1).
• Check the Rail for wear.
Procedure
Open the Front Cover Door (PL 17.5) and manually move the Staple Head toward rear and
front. The Staple Head moves smoothly.
YN
Remove the cause of Staple Head not moving, such as rail breakage, drag, and gear
damage.
Enter dC330 [012-225] and press Start. Actuate the Staple Front Corner Sensor (PL 17.9) by
manually moving the Staple Head toward the front. The display changes.
YN
Press Stop. Check the circuit of the Staple Front Corner Sensor (Figure 2). Refer to the
OF 99-2 RAP for troubleshooting procedure.
Press Stop. Manually move the Stapler to the middle of the Rail. Cheat the Front Cover Door
Interlock Switch (PL17.13). Enter dC330 [012-081] (front) or [012-083] (rear) and press Start.
The Staple Move Motor (PL 17.9) energizes.
YN
Press Stop. Remove the Rear Cover (PL 17.5). +24 VDC is measured between P/
J847- 3 and 4 and GND (Figure 3).
YN
Replace the Finisher PWB (PL 17.13).
+24 VDC is measured between P/J847- 1, 2, 5 and 6 and GND.
YN
Check wiring between P/J847 and P/J888 for damage or poor contact. If the check
is OK, replace the Staple Move Motor (PL 17.9).
Replace the Finisher PWB (PL 17.13).
Press Stop.
• Ensure that the connectors shown in the circuit diagrams (Figure 2, Figure 3) are securely
connected and that the wires are not damaged.
• Ensure that the Stapler Harness (PL 17.9) does not obstruct the Staple Head and that the
harness is properly secured.
• Replace the Staple Front Corner Sensor (PL 17.9).
• If the problem persists, replace the Finisher PWB (PL 17.13) (Figure 4).
