Cleaning the outside of the product When outside covers and panels are noticeably dirty, wipe them with a dampened cloth. Cleaning inside the product Over time, dust can accumulate inside the output device. Removing the dust is not a requirement for smooth operation of the products.
Power-on sequence Multifunction finisher The multifunction finisher performs an initialization procedure when it receives the Recovery Initialize signal. This signal is transmitted from the printer at power-on. The power-on sequence consists of the following actions: Moves slide: The booklet bin slide motor (M10) drives the slide to move from the standby position.
8-bin mailbox When the 8-bin mailbox is turned on, the flipper and eject assemblies receive the initialization command and start the rollers in an attempt to eject any paper in the path. Then the assemblies check the sensors. If the sensors detect media, they signal an initial jam. If no jam exists, initialization for the flipper and eject assemblies is complete.
Basic operation Multifunction finisher The multifunction finisher ejects paper from the printer either face-down or face-up. Operations such as job offset are performed when paper is ejected face-down. The booklet unit inside the multifunction finisher folds the paper stack before ejecting it. The controller PCA in the multifunction finisher controls the sequence of operations.
Simple stacking Flipping action (face-down delivery): After the paper is reversed, the paper is pulled into the processing tray and ejected face- down to the delivery tray. Figure 19. Simple stacking (face-down delivery) Face-up delivery: The paper is pulled into the processing tray and ejected face-up to the delivery tray. Figure 20.
Job offset Job offset is accomplished by moving sheet by sheet forward or backward for sorting while transporting it to the stacker bin. The offset motor is connected to a crank system that moves offset carriage to the left and to the right. The offset position sensor detects the position of the offset module to position it left, right, or center.
Stapling The multifunction finisher staples the specified number of sheets of paper. The staple position depends on the staple mode and paper size. Paper width Paper width X 1/2 Side stitching—two staples 120 Landscape-image mm (4.72 inches) apart stapling (front) Paper width Paper width X 1/2...
Booklet-making Paper-fold rollers and the paper-pushing plate fold paper in the multifunction finisher. When the rollers start to rotate, the paper-pushing plate pushes the paper stack into the gap between the paper-fold rollers. When the paper stack is fed approximately 10 mm (0.4 inch) by the rotation of the paper-fold rollers, the paper-pushing plate returns to the home position.

3,000-sheet stapler/stacker Main modules The 3,000-sheet stapler/stacker consists of the following main modules: Face-up bin—This bin collects the documents face-up, with the printed information toward the user. Finished documents are not routed to this bin, but the bin supports the sheets as they are flipped to the face-down bin.
Paper path and jam detection Paper input—The device receives media from the printer. Flipper—FLEntry1 senses the media and activates the flipper motors. For face-up printing, the flipper delivers the media (which the FLEntry senses) to the face-up bin. Otherwise, the flipper changes page orientation from face-up to face-down and delivers media to the paper- path module.
Stapler/stacker bin full condition The stapler bin signals a “full” condition when either of these conditions exist: Approximately 3,000 sheets of letter/A4 have been collected in the stapler bin Approximately 1,500 sheets of ledger/A3 have been collected in the stapler bin Note A full-bin condition is signaled when the stapler bin contains 15 kg (33 lb) of paper.

3,000-sheet stacker Main modules The stacker consists of the following main modules: Face-up bin—This bin collects the documents face-up, with the printed information toward the user. Finished documents are not routed to this bin, but the bin supports sheets as they are flipped to the face-down bin.
Paper path and jam detection Paper input—The device receives media from the printer. Flipper—FLEntry1 senses the media and activates the flipper motors. For face-up printing, the flipper delivers the media to the face-up bin. Otherwise, the flipper changes page orientation from face-up to face-down and delivers the media to the paper-path module. Paper path—The paper-path module delivers face-down print jobs to the offset module.
Stacker-bin-full condition The stapler bin signals a “full” condition when either of these conditions exist: Approximately 3,000 sheets of letter/A4 have been collected in the stapler bin Approximately 1,500 sheets of ledger/A3 have been collected in the stapler bin Note A full-bin condition is signaled when the stapler bin contains 15 kg (33 lb) of paper.
8-bin mailbox Main modules The 8-bin mailbox has 9 bins for sorting and handling printed media. The topmost bin receives the media face-up as it comes from the printer. The remaining eight bins receive the media face- down. The destination bin for the printed media depends on the device operating mode and the presence of media.

Paper-path and jam detection Flipper—The flipper assembly receives the media from the printer or MFP. When it receives a delivery notice from printer or MFP, the flipper motor starts to move at the print or copy speed. When the ENTRY sensor is activated, the sheet is measured. If the sheet goes to the face-up bin, the FACEUP sensor is deactivated to signal the end of the paper-handling function and the sheet is ejected immediately.
Page 74
Bin-full condition Mailbox mode—The capacity status of each logical face-down bin depends on how the sensor behaves in the face-down bin. A bin-full condition results from either of the following events: • The bin-full sensor is activated when media is delivered to a face-down bin. •...
Electric circuitry A 16-bit microprocessor is installed on the finisher controller PCB to control the finisher operation sequence and the Jet-Link communication with the video controller PCB. The finisher controller PCB drives solenoids and motors in response to the commands that the video controller PCB sends through the Jet-Link communication line.
Power supply Multifunction finisher The multifunction finisher power supply adopts a remote switching system. At power on, the printer issues a command to the video controller PCB. The video controller PCB then sends a power-on signal (PWRON-IN signal) to the power supply. When the PWRON-IN signal is at the high (“H”) level, the power-supply circuit supplies +24 V power and +5 V power to the finisher controller PCB.
8-bin mailbox A universal power supply is activated when the MFP or printer power switch is turned on. The MFP or printer paper-handling controller sends a power-on signal to the power supply through the controller PCB. The power-supply circuit provides +24 V for motors and +5 V for sensors and controller electronics.

Troubleshooting jams Jams occur when media either does not reach or does not clear a sensor along the paper path in a specific amount of time. If a jam occurs, a JAM IN LEFT ACCESSORY message appears on the printer or MFP control panel. Error codes in the event log indicate locations of jams.
Troubleshooting media problems Media defects can cause jams and image defects. If the previously described conditions are corrected and do not eliminate the problem, continue to investigate the media as the source of the defect. Problems with print media are sometimes difficult to detect. Follow a standard troubleshooting procedure to help isolate media-related problems.
When jams and other problems occur frequently, it is often because the customer is using a special paper. Customers must only use print media that conforms to all Hewlett-Packard specifications, and should always test media before purchasing large quantities. Media should be tested before storage to verify quality printing results.
Using the service-level diagnostics Service mode—printer or MFP Only authorized service personnel should use the output device service-menu commands. The service menu can only be opened by using the PIN code. While in the service menu, you can verify and set the page count and serial number. These are shown on the configuration page. Note For information about how to gain access to the printer service menu, see the printer or MFP service manual.
Service-mode diagnostics The diagnostics tool helps the service engineer perform an HP multifunction finisher quick test. Service-mode configuration occurs at the controller PCA through a set of DIP switches. The service diagnostics label includes the self-running mode only. • DIP switches configuration •...

Service-mode tests Stapler test/stacker test Note Any stapler settings or offset settings that are configured at the printer or MFP control panel are ignored during the stapler test/stacker test. For the stapler test/stacker test, use letter-size or A4-sized paper. Feed the paper straight, centered, and slowly to avoid skews and jams.
Service mode—8-bin mailbox The standalone diagnostics are designed to test the motors and functionality of the 8-bin mailbox when the 8-bin mailbox is not connected to the printer or MFP. Note You need a small, flatblade screwdriver for the power supply switch. LEDs description The 8-bin mailbox has two sets of LEDs: User LED (callout 1).

The second sheet is sent to face-down bin 1. The process continues until media reaches face-down bin 8, and then the process starts again. If the paper-path test is successful after feeding several pages, reattach the 8-bin mailbox. If a problem exists, an error code is indicated in the service LEDs. Note Make sure that you reset the power supply switch to its original position or the 8-bin mailbox will not work correctly.
