with the 4 flathead screws RK4x8.
2. Power connection
(1) Insert the power plug in its receptacle on the back of
the collator.
(2) Insert the plug into the wall outlet.
Caution!
It is strongly advised not to use an extension cord or
overloaded one electrical outlet, as it can cause
erroneous operation.
3. Stacking table assembly
(1) Insert the 2 stacking side guides and the stacking end
guide in the stacking table, making sure not to set
them in the wrong direction.
(2) Insert the 2 stacking poles in the holes and fix them
while sliding them along the slot.
12
4. Stacking table
(1) Fit the tumbler-shaped hooks on the stacking table into
the hooks of the front foot rubber base (two places)
while fitting the tip notch of the stacking table to the
collator’s crisscross roller, then tilt the stacker table on
either right or left side (right with the roller on the right,
left when on the left), and insert the stacking table
hooks in the opening on the front foot rubber base.
Make sure the hooks are firmly fitted on both right and
left sides.
(2) Install the aligning wire.
[1]After installing the stacking table in the collator, insert
the rear part of the aligning wire into the wire insertion
hole in the collator.
[2]Pinch the bent part at the aligning wire tip with your
fingers and draw it to the front. Then, fit it on the wire

5. Paper feed table
(1) First, make sure the table lift lever is in its low
position. If it is not, turn the power switch on and
press the Reset key for three seconds or more to lower
the lever. Normally, the lever is below the paper feed
table; by lifting the lever, the feed table will rise. If
the lever is higher than the table, paper cannot be fed
as the table cannot be raised.
(2) Insert the right side shaft of the paper feed table in the
hole on the side opposite the collator operation side,
and mount the left shaft on the plate with the U-shape
slot.
(3) Fit the auxiliary table slots (two places) on both side
shafts of the paper feed table.

5. OPERATIONS
5.1. Procedure and method
5.1.1. Activating power
Turn the power switch on.
Caution!
Before turning the power switch to ON, make sure
that the paper feed, auxiliary and stacking tables are
fully inserted.
5.1.2 Setting of paper on feed tables
(1) Load paper on the paper feed tables and hold it firmly
using the lateral paper guides.
Note
[How to fan out sheets]
(1) Pinch the sheets of paper at both ends.
(2) Bend them to admit air.
(Loosen the force lightly and pinch them again after
bending)
(3) Jog and align the sheets vertically.
Remarks
a) Use the fill line on the paper guide as the loading capacity. In case of printed paper, do not load too much
as it tends to swell.
b) Fan out sheets well and then load them on the feed table. Failure to properly fan sheets may lead to
trouble.
c) Align sheets at the edges and insert them until they lightly strike the forward guide. Failure to properly
align sheets may lead to double feed or no feed.
d) Make sure any ink on the paper is dry. Let ink dry before loading paper. Wet ink soils the feed rollers
and can lead to malfunction, such as double feed or no feed.
e) Copied sheets may cause wrong feed or stacking error owing to electrostatic charge. Static electricity can
be controlled by spraying a retail static eliminator on the feed rollers and the front edge of the paper.
Too, since copied sheets are apt to curl at the edges; straighten or invert them before feed table loading.
f) Be sure to load no-carbon-required paper (general quality) with the color developing side (usually the
print side) down, otherwise the side coated with color former will probably be marked with rubbed traces
when contacting the feed roller.
g) Front and back sides of ejected paper change according to ejected direction (with independent use or
when connected). Be very careful when connecting with after processing equipment.
17
(2) Paper loading order
1) Paper with the printed side down
Load the paper on the feed tables from bottom to
top in ascending order of pages.
In this case Page 1 appears at the top of collated
sheets on the stacking table.
2) Paper with the printed side up
Load the paper on the feed tables from top to
bottom in ascending order of pages. Paper is fed to
the stacking table turned over.
In this case Page 1 is at the bottom of collated sheets
on the stacking table.
Note
How to load a paper with a small number of pages (using less than 10 stations)
・In case the collator is used independently or a staple is connected with it,
Load the paper in order from the bottom (10th station).
This way prevents disorder in paper ejection and facilitates the processing speed.
・In case optional machines are connected with the collator (another collator, namely two collators
connected to be used, and a large-capacity stacker),
Load the paper in order from the top (1st station).
This way prevents paper jam.
18
5.1.3 Setting of stacking guides, poles, etc.
Set the right and left side guides, stacking poles (two) and
stacking end guide, respectively according to paper size. If
the paper is caught by the guides or not properly aligned,
make fine adjustments by moving the guides forward or
backward, right or left.
Remarks
a) With postcards or organizer-notebook size paper, only straight stacking is recommended.
b) Stacking arrangement changes according to the collating speed. With high-speed collation,
ejected paper rebounds more strongly when striking the stacking end guide or pole, causing
greater disorder. In case of warped paper, the faster collation becomes, the more it is apt to roll,
worsening the arrangement.
However, since, owing to various factors, collation is not always better when stacked slowly,
collation speed should be set case by case.
Paper type -- sturdy or easily torn -- also affects collation and stacking.
Note
a) In case of improper stacking
Set the standard on the positioning gauge for the pole guide shown on the stacking table and
move the pole guide to the left (to narrow the gap between pole guide and collated paper). Move
the right and left side guides uniformly inward (to narrow the gap between pole and paper)
based on the positioning gauge. Adjust the positioning guides gradually rather than all the way
at once while checking stacked paper alignment.
b) In case of paper jam frequently occurs on stacker
Set the standard on the positioning gauge for the pole guide shown on the stacking table and
move the pole guide to the right (to broaden the gap between pole guide and collated paper).
Move the right and left side guides uniformly outward (to broaden the gap between pole and
paper) based on the positioning gauge. Adjust the positioning guides gradually rather than all
the way at once while checking stacked paper alignment.
5.1.4 Collation
(1) Press the CHECK key for trial paper feed. The
feed tables will automatically rise and each will feed
one sheet of paper (set of collated sheets).
Make sure there is no error in the direction and order
of pages and no feeding error.
19
(2) If all is in order, press the START/STOP key to begin
collating.
To halt collation, press the START/STOP key again.
Remarks
a) Do not turn off the power switch while paper feed is in
progress.
b) If there is any empty feed, the last collated set may
have missing pages. Add the missing pages. The
collated set with missing pages will not be counted.
Note
a) If the last sheet remains on a feed table, place several
blank sheets under the remaining sheet.
b) In case delivered paper is not properly stacked, refer
to “5.1.3 Setting of stacking tables, poles, etc.” and
make adjustment according to it.
5.2 Counter
5.2.1. Using adding mode
Normally, the counter operates in adding mode. Press the
START/STOP key to start collating and the machine will
stop after all collated sheets are delivered.
The counter displays the number of collated sets and it
will automatically stop when its displayed figure becomes
[9999]. Press the START/STOP key to continue
collating, and the counter will display [0] and resume
counting in adding mode.
5.2.2. Using subtracting mode
Set the number of sets to be collated by pressing
numerical keys.
If the number of sets is set by pressing numerical keys,
the subtracting mode lamp will automatically light up.
The counter will automatically stop when its displayed
figure becomes [0]. If the START/STOP key is pressed
while the machine is in operation, the machine will stop
and the counter will show the number of sets remaining to
be collated.

checked again.
Note
a) If paper is improperly set on the stacking table,
select low speed for proper stacking.
b) As for setting of processing speed, the speed
applied at the time when the power supply is cut
off is stored in it, the machine will start operation
based on that speed the next time it will be used.
5.4 Setting normal or alternate collation mode
When collating fewer pages for many sets, Alternate
mode is convenient as it loads sheets with the same page
number in two neighboring stations. One machine can
collate paper with up to five pages at once.
With the power switched on, normal mode is
automatically programmed.

5.11 Changing light intensity
Each time paper is checked, the machine detects paper thickness and automatically adjusts the intensity of
light it emits using the photo sensor. But if the light intensity initially set is too bright, the photo sensor may
judge empty feed when very thin paper is fed, as the light is too strong and the sensor cannot detect the
paper. In this case it is necessary to manually reprogram the intensity of light emission.
To reset light intensity, the value of system constant “P” must be changed.
Note
When paper check is repeated several times, the photo sensor will automatically adjust the light intensity to
suit paper thickness.
5.11.1 Changing system constant “P”
(1) Press the 0 key for three seconds to switch to system
programming mode; [P “X”] will be displayed on the
Counter (one of 1 to 9, A, b,C, d, E, F will be shown on
“X” as the present set value).
19 types can be programmed as a system constant
according to the following sequence of the intensity.
WEAK STRONG
<1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, b, C, d, E, F>
- PROGRAM key: Move to the next item
- RESET key: Return to the previous item
- CHECK key: Temporarily modified and
finished
- START key: Stored and finished.
(2) Press 4 key to increase intensity by one degree; press
0 key to reduce it by one degree.
Note
・The value set at the time of factory shipment is
between 3 and 4.
(Adjusted based on 64g/m2 stock)
(3) Press the START/STOP key to store the changed
value.
Note
・If the operation is finished after pressing the
START/STOP key, the programmed value will be
stored even if the power is turned off.
If the operation is finished after pressing the CHECK
key, the value will return to the value prior to the
change.
When changed temporarily, press the CHECK key
and pass the system constant programming mode.

6.2 Usual maintenance
・Cleaning of paper feed rubber roller and separator is recommended from time to time (as required).
Separator
Flat head
screwdriver
28
(1) Remove the paper feed tables and auxiliary tables. While holding the paper feed shaft, push it in to
the left, then pull it toward the front. If the paper feed rollers are dislocated, correct their positions;
the center rubber roller should be located at the center of the separator.
(2) After removing the paper feed shaft, clean its three rubber rollers using a cloth dampened with
cleaning fluid special for the collator (option). Clean the separator too, leaving it mounted on the
machine while doing so.
(3) Install the paper feed shaft in the way reverse to how it was removed.
Note
Should trouble such as double feed, no feed, etc. occur after cleaning, the rubber paper feed rollers and
separator are worn. Replace them with new ones referring to the previous page. When the paper feed
rubber rollers are replaced, mount them on the paper feed rollers holders so that the white dot of the rubber
rollers is on the right-hand side. In addition, after mounting the paper feed rollers on their holders, roll them
on a flat surface such as a desktop to make sure they are mounted horizontally. If mounted askew, problems
like paper feed failure or double feed may occur. Use a flat head screwdriver to remove the separator. Be
watchful of the paper detection wire when replacing the feed rollers.
・Cleaning the exterior
Wipe off any stains using a damp cloth.
Remarks
Do not use solvent cleaning liquids as they may cause discoloring.
6.3 Consumables
The collator’s paper feed rollers (CU 145231) and separator rubber (UC 145181) are consumable. Contact
your dealer when they need replacing.
