[5] OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTION
1. Basic operation
A. Basic operation of finisher
The finisher is designed to deliver copies arriving from its host
machine, and its modes of delivery include simple stacking, job off-
set, and staple.
All operations involved in these modes are controlled by the fin-
isher controller PCB, according to the appropriate commands from
the host machine.
In the case of the Saddle stitch finisher, copies from the host
machine may be routed to the saddle stitch unit.
machine, and its modes of delivery include simple stacking, job off-
set, and staple.
All operations involved in these modes are controlled by the fin-
isher controller PCB, according to the appropriate commands from
the host machine.
In the case of the Saddle stitch finisher, copies from the host
machine may be routed to the saddle stitch unit.
NOTE: The term job offset refers to shifting each sorting job, sepa-
rating a single stack into several stacks.
B. Outline of electric circuitry in finisher
The finisher's sequence of operation is controlled by the finisher
controller PCB. The finisher controller PCB is a 16-bit microproces-
sor (CPU), and is used for communication with the host machine
(serial) in addition to controlling the finisher's sequence of opera-
tions.
The finisher controller PCB responds to the various commands
coming from the host machine through a serial communications
line to drive solenoids, motors, and other loads. In addition, it com-
municates the finisher's various states (information on sensors and
switches) to the host machine through a serial communications cir-
cuit.
In the case of the Saddle Finisher, the finisher controller PCB not
only communicates with the saddle stitch controller PCB but also
communicates the saddle stitch unit's various states (information
on sensors and switches) to the host machine.
The ICs used on the finisher controller PCB are designed for the
following:
• IC2 (CPU)

following:
• IC2 (CPU)
Controls sequence of operations/sequence program built-in.
• IC3 (EEP-ROM)
For backup of adjustment values/backup of default data.
• IC28 (Regulator IC)
Generates 5V.
• IC7 (Regulator IC)
Generates 3.3V.
