Figure 6. A4 (8½ x 11") Portrait paper is rotated by the connecting bridge
• The drive belts are run from a stepper motor in the connecting bridge. The
connecting bridge axes are also adjusted by stepper motors.
• A combination of non-conductive belts and conductive-brushes in the connecting
bridge remove the static-electric charge from the paper. Sheets of paper with a
static-electric charge stick together and will not jog into a tidy book.
• After travelling through the rotator, the paper is raised to the height of the infeed
of the PSQ160 by an uplift module.
• An optical sensor in the rotator infeed sees that a piece of paper has entered the
rotator. Another optical sensor at the outfeed of the rotator sees when the paper
leaves the rotator. If the time between the operation of the sensors is too long,
then a flow error or paper jam in the rotator is indicated. The PSQ160 sends an
error message to the printer. The print job and the PSQ160 stop.
• An optical sensor in the uplift infeed sees that a piece of paper has entered the
uplift module. Another optical sensor at the outfeed of the uplift sees when the
paper leaves the uplift. If the time between the operation of the sensors is too
long, then a flow error or paper jam in the uplift is indicated. The PSQ160 sends
an error message to the printer. The print job and the PSQ160 stop.
• When a complete set is printed the printer sends an ‘end of set’ signal to the
PSQ160, which starts the PSQ160 operation.
• On the top of the connecting bridge is a tri-colour indicator. The tri-colour
indicator shows the machine status:
- Blinking green: Ready to receive a job
- Solid green: working
- Solid amber: operator intervention needed such as empty the trim bin
- Solid red: the machine is offline, e.g. changing paper size, or in an error state
- Flashing red: The GUI is unresponsive. The DFA has lost communication with
the GUI and generated the flashing red error. Reboot the PSQ160.
