WORK PRECAUTIONS

2. Work Precautions
Inspection
If inspection finds a defective or problem part, correct it.
Replace parts as necessary.
Half-pierced section

Removal
(1)Carry out work according to the procedures in the
technical manual.
(2)Arrange the removed parts carefully and in order.
(3)Distinguish parts to be replaced and those to be reused.
(4)When replacing screws and the like, use the specified
size.

Assembly and installation


Unless otherwise specified, assembly and installation follow
the reverse order of removal. When there is a protruding
section and a hole for positioning a part, align them correctly
before fastening.
(Part positioning protruding section and hole is referred as
"half-pierced section" in the manual.)

Replace mount screws


Self-tapping screws have been used on KS machines to reduce its production cost.
The ability of the self-tapping screw is same as normal screws used on the previous Riso products.
However the self-tapping screws will make damage of the screw hole if the screw is removed and
installed frequently. Therefore it is recommended that screws, of which are expected to be removed and
installed frequently should be replaced from the self-tapping screws with normal screws such as panhead screws or binding screws.
Below figure is the difference between Self-tipping screw and Pan-head screw.

1. Paper Feed Tray Set Lever
> The Paper feed tray set lever [A] is linked with the PF lever plate ass'y [D] by the PF tray spring [C].
And the PF lever plate ass'y [D] is fixed with PFT lever shaft [F].
> When the paper feed tray set lever [A] is set lower position, the PFT lever [E] rises and push the
Paper feed tray [B] up. Thus papers on the Paper feed tray [B] touch the Pick up roller [G].
> When the paper feed tray set lever [A] is set upper position, the PFT lever [E] moves down and
Paper feed tray [B] goes down too. Thus papers on the Paper feed tray [B] is released from the Pick
up roller [G].
> Pressure between paper on the Paper feed tray and the Pick up roller can be adjusted.

THEORY OF OPERATION

2. First Paper Feed Drive Mechanism


1. Paper Feed Clutch
> When the Main motor [C] activates, the Drum rotates in the clockwise direction via the Drive
gear D-E-F-G-H-I. (looking from back of the machine).
> The Paper feed clutch [B] activates at a certain Drum angle from the Position-A.
This Drum angle is determined by the count signal from the motor encoder sensor.
> The Paper feed clutch is released as the Drum rotates for a certain set degrees from the Drum
position A.
> The Paper feed tray clutch [B] activate timing and release timing is changed by the drum
rotation speed.
2. End of First Paper Feed
> The First paper feed ends when the Paper feed clutch [B] is released.
> The leading edge of the paper rests against the Guide roller and Timing roller.
> The Pickup roller [A] rotates free in the direction of paper feed by one-way clutch to avoid
applying brake on the paper when the Second paper feed takes over the paper feed.

> The papers on the Paper feed tray are fed by the Pick roller [A], in several layers, in between
the Pickup roller [A] and Stripper pad [C].
2. Pick-up
> The top sheet is separated from the rest by the Pickup roller [A] and Stripper pad [C].
> The Stripper pad [C] is pushed against the Pickup roller [A] by the Stripper spring [B] to provide
resistance against paper feed, by which only a single sheet of paper [D] is fed from the paper
stack.

THEORY OF OPERATION

4. Paper Feed Pressure Select System


1. Paper Feed Pressure Adjust Lever
> The Paper feed pressure adjust lever [A] is located on the front side of the machine, and it
changes the pressure of the Paper feed tray applied against the Pick up roller, as a result the
pressure against the papers on the Paper feed tray is changed.
> When the Paper feed pressure adj. lever [A] is positioned at upper position, the Pressure arm
[C] is lowered and the pressure of the Pressure adj. lever spring [B] does not applied against the
Paer feed tray. Thus the paper feed pressure is not increased at the lower position. Therefore this
position is for "THIN" papers.
> When the Paper feed pressure adj. lever is positioned at lower position, the Pressure arm [C]
becomes free and the pressure of the Pressure adj. lever spring [B] applies against the Paper
feed tray. Thus the paper feed pressure is increased. Therefore this position is for "NORMAL"
papers.

ADJUSTMENT

3. Paper Feed Clutch ON Timing


If the paper jams or does not feed smoothly due to incorrect timing of the paper feed clutch activate
timing, use Test mode No.80 or No.82 to adjust the timing of the Paper feed clutch activation.
Test No.80 for when the machine runs at 60 r.p.m.. Test No.82 for when the machine runs at 90
r.p.m..
Adjustment Procedure
1. Turn off the power of the machine.
2. Keep pressing
and key on the control panel then turn on the power.
3. Check whether the paper buckle is normal or not.
4. In case the paper buckle is not enoght, start up the Test Mode and enter [8] and [0] and select
the number by pressing
or key.
In case the print speed is 90 r.p.m., enter [8] and [2] and select the number by pressing
or
key.

Results of Incorrect Adjustment


> If too much or too little paper buckle is made, the paper does not transfer correctly into the
Second paper feed section and may result in paper jamming.

Note:
>The Paper feed clutch adjustment is affected by the Timing clutch timing adjustment. For instance,
the Timing clutch timing is adjusted as the print position shifts for +2mm, the Paper feed clutch ON
timing also shifts +2mm. That means the timing of the movement between the Timing clutch and the
Paper feed clutch is unchanged.

4. Paper Feed Clutch OFF Timing


If the paper jams or does not feed smoothly due to incorrect amount of the paper buckle at the
finish of the first paper feed timing, use Test mode No.81 or No.83 to adjust the timing of the Paper
feed clutch deactivation.
Test No. 81 for when the machine runs at 60 r.p.m.. Test No. 83 for when the machine runs at 90
r.p.m..
Adjustment Procedure
1. Turn off the power of the machine.
2. Keep pressing
and key on the control panel then turn on the power.
3. Check whether the paper buckle is normal or not.
4. In case the paper buckle is not enoght, start up the Test Mode and enter [8] and [1] and select

roller [A] stays on the Pressure ass'y [K], of which is fixed the Pressure shaft [G].
> While the Main motor [C] is making the Drum rotation without paper (not prininting process), the
Pressure hook [H] engages with the Pressure lever [D] so that the Pressure shaft ass'y stays

Lifting the Pressure Roller


The Paper gate is pushed up by paper throughout
the printing. So the Pressure lever [B] becomes free.
The Pressure spring [D] pulls back the Pressure lever
[B] and rotates the Pressure shaft [E] which is acting
as a pivot.
The rotation of the Pressure shaft [E] lifts the Pressure

Lowering the Pressure Roller


The Pressure roller [A] is lowered by force, away from
the Drum[C], by the high part of the Pressure cam [F].
During the Drum rotation, when the Clamp plate of the
Drum comes close to the Pressure roller (drum rotation
at 118 degrees), the high part of the Pressure cam [F]
pushes the Pressure lever [B] down, rotating the
Pressure shaft [E] clockwise to bring the Pressure
roller down, away from the Drum.
Then Pressure lever [B] is lowered by Pressure cam

ADJUSTMENT

3. Adjustment
1. Separator Position
1. Using Test Chart No.8 or No.14, make a master and prints.
2. Adjust the printing position by the Print position button on the Operation panel, so that there is
10 mm white margin on the top of the prints.
3. Confirm that the paper separates from the Drum [C] and there is no black line on the center of the
prints.
4. If the paper does not separate from the Drum, or there is a black line on the center of the prints,
an adjustment on the Separator position is necessary.
5. For the adjustment, disconnect the power cable from the machine and remove the Front cover.
(See page 1-5) and the Power supply PCB. (See page 8-6)
6. Loosen the mounting screw [D] of the Separator plate [E] and slide the plate.
7. Tighten the mounting screw [D] of the plate when the space between the tip of the Separator [B] is
between 1.0mm and 1.4mm from the Drum surface and not touching it.
8. Make sure if the space is between 1mm and 1.4mm anywhere on the Drum surface by using the
Drum rotation lever.

Precaution in Adjustment
> Printed papers using Test Chart No.8 / No.14 original should separate from the Drum [C] when
the top white margin on the prints are adjusted to 10 mm by the Print position button.

Results of Incorrect Adjustment


> If the tip of the Separator [B] is in contact with the Drum [C] , the Separator [B] will scratch the
surface of the master on the Drum, creating a black line in the center of the printed copies and
may damage the screens.
> If the tip of the Separator [B is placed too far off the Drum [C], printed copies will not separate
from the Drum [C], causing paper jams.

1. Master on Drum (in printing) Check Mechanism

AAaaa

1. Master Sensor
> Master Sensor [B] checks the presence of master on the Drum before the start of printing.
> 134 Drum rotation after the first Position-A, the Master Sensor [B] looks for the master [A] on
the Drum.
> The result (whether the master [A] is found or not) is memorized until the Drum is pulled out of
the machine or the power is turned off.
> If no master is detected on the Drum, [C27] is indicated on the Operation panel and stops the
printing operation.

2. Ink Bottle Set Check Mechanism


1. Ink bottle Set Sensor
> Ink bottle set sensor[A] checks the presence of the Ink bottle[C] in the Ink bottle guide[B].
> There is an actuator plate[D] on the bottle set sensor ass'y as shown on below figure.
> The machine will judge by the sensor staus, whether Ink bottle [C]is installed or not.
If the Ink bottle [C] is not installed, the machine will indecate 'C7'.
In case No bottle is installed

Ink bottle set sensor detects the actuator


plate

In case bottle is installed

The actuator plate is released by ink


bottle thus Ink bottle set sensor does not
detect the actuator plate

3. Ink Supply Mechanism


1. Ink Sensor PCB
> Ink sensor on the Ink sensor PCB [I] checks the presence of ink in the Drum.
> Overflow sensor [H] checks the ink overflow in the Drum.
2. Inking Motor
> Inking motor [C] activates the Ink pump to supply the ink into the Drum when ink is not
detected by the Ink sensor [G].
> Ink from the Ink bottle is pumped through the Ink hose [F] into the Drum, on top
of the Squeegee roller [A], through Ink distributor [E].
> The Inking motor [C] stops when the Ink sensor [C] detects ink.
3. Ink Supply to the Inner Surface of the Drum
> The ink supplied on the Squeegee roller [A] is transferred onto the Drum inner surface by the
rotation of both the Squeegee roller [A] and Drum.
> Excess ink is then made into a long roll of ink tube around a thin Driven shaft [D] located
between the Squeegee roller [A] and Doctor roller, [A] and this excess roll of ink tube is
checked by the Ink sensor [G] and Overflow sensor [H].
4. Ink Overflow
> If an excess amount of ink is supplied in the Drum and Overflow sensor [H] detects the ink,
the machine stops with [E 4] indication on the Operation panel.

2 The Inking motor activates when the light path of the Position-A sensor changes from "blocked" to
"open" with the rotation of the Drum if the Ink sensor is not detecting the ink.
3 The inking motor stops when the Ink senser becomes detecting the ink.
4 The Inking motor activates when the Ink sensor no longer detects the ink during printing.
5 The Inking motor turns off when the Main motor is turned off.
> If Ink sensor does not detect ink within 20 seconds after the Inking motor is activated, the machine
assumes that the Ink Cartridge is empty and [C 8] is indicated.
If the machine power is turned OFF before the 20 second count, the counting continues from that point
when the machine is turned ON again.
> If Overflow sensor detects ink for more than 0.5 seconds, the machine assumes that the ink has over
flown within the Drum and displays error message [E 4].
> If excess current is detected for more than 2.5 seconds after the Inking motor is activated, the machine
assumes that the Inking motor has locked and indicates error message [E 16].

The ink sucked in is carried between the Outer and Inner


rotors of the Ink pump and as the gap between the rotors

4. Squeegee Roller Rotation Mechanism


1. Rotation of the Squeegee Roller
Through the gears, the drive of the Main motor [K] is transferred to the Squeegee roller gear [C]
via the Intermediate gear A [F], gear B [G], gear C [H], gear D [I] and rotates the Squeegee roller
[A].
The Squeegee roller gear R [C] has one way clutch which prevents the Squeegee roller [A]
from rotating when the Drum is accidentally rotated in the opposite way by hand.
2. Rotation of the Driven Shaft
With the rotation of the Squeegee roller [A], the Squeegee roller gear F [D] transfers the rotation
to the gear on the Driven shaft [L] and rotates the shaft.

Results of Incorrect Adjustment


> If the gap is too big:
Too much gap will allow excess amount of ink to get on the inner surface of the Drum and
results in ink leakage from the Drum.
> If the gap is too small:
Not enough ink transfers on the inner surface of the Drum and the prints may come out with
uneven print density.

T H E O RY OF OPERATION

3. Image Scanner
The image scanning is done by an optical type Image scanner [A] which emits greenish-yellow light
from LED array [B] against an original and catches the image after it is reflected.
2048 pieces of photo transistors are installed as the receiving elements of the scanner. Those
receiving elements are combined as the Photo transistor array [C].
And the Image scanner covers around 260mm width which is about the size of B4 width.
Therefore the scanner is called Contact Image Scanner (CIS).

T H E O RY OF OPERATION

1. Theory of Operation
1. Master Making
When the STA RT key is pressed for master making, the Drum rotates to remove the master on the
Drum.
At the same time the TPH-CTL signal is turned ON to supply heating power to the Thermal print head
[A].
1. Start of the Master Making
> While the Drum is rotates to remove the master on the Drum, the Write pulse motor [D]
activates and starts feeding the master material from the master roll 50 ms after the Drum
rotates 100 from the first Drum Position-A.
> At the same time the original starts feeding through the ADF unit for scanning.
> As the Write pulse motor activates and feeds the master for 5mm, the Read & Write start
signal is turned ON and the Thermal print head begins making image on the master material.
2. End of the Master Making
> After a certain set time, the Master tension plate solenoid activates and swings down the
Master tension plate.
> The master runs through the Master tension plate and as the Master tension plate swings
down, it gives tension on the master while the master is loaded on the Drum.
> Either the original scanning ends or if the Write pulse motor activates for the maximum master
making length, both the TPH-CTL signal and Read & Write start signal turn OFF.
> The Write pulse motor is still activated until full length of master material is transferred.
The Write pulse motor then stops and completes the master making process.

As the Write pulse motor activates for a certain set time after the Clamp plate clamps the master,
the Main motor activates to load the master on the Drum.
1. Drum angle 134
> During the master loading, when the Drum comes to 134 , the Master sensor checks for any
master loading error.
> The Write pulse motor keeps feeding the master, and if no master loading is detected, the
Main motor starts to rotate again.
2. Master cutting
> The Cutter unit cuts the master when the Drum comes to at 292 .
> The Main motor keeps rotating and loads the remaining length of master on the Drum while
making one proof print.
