2. MECHANISMS

2.1Transmitting Mechanism (Feeding and Scanning Documents)

The transmitting mechanism consists of the document stacker, automatic document feeder (ADF), document feeding related rollers, scanner, and document sensors. (For details about the sensors, refer to Section 2.3.)

If the operator sets documents on the stacker and starts the sending operation, the ADF feeds those documents into the equipment, page by page. Each document advances with the separation roller to the scanner, and then it is fed out of the equipment with the LF roller.

For the drive power source, refer to Section 2.4.

2.1.1Automatic document feeder (ADF)

The ADF, which consists of the separation roller and separator, feeds documents set on the document stacker, starting from the bottom sheet to the top, page by page, due to the frictional difference among the separation roller, the documents, and the separator.

2.1.2Scanner

The scanner uses a charge coupled device (CCD) image sensor.

As shown below, the LED array illuminates a document and the reflected light of the scanned image data is transmitted via the mirrors into the lens which reduces the scanned data so as to form the image on the CCD.

2.2Receiving Mechanism (Feeding Recording Paper & Recording Data)

The receiving mechanism consists of the recording paper roll holder, anti-curl system (ACS), platen, thermal recording head, automatic cutter, and sensors. (For details about the sensors, refer to Section 2.3.)

The recording paper is routed through the ACS to the recording head which prints onto the heat-sensitive recording paper pressed by the platen according to received image signals. The printed paper is further fed through the cutter chute and cut by the automatic cutter page by page.

For the drive power source, refer to Section 2.4.

2.2.1Anti-curl system (ACS)

The ACS eliminates curl peculiar to the rolled recording paper by curving the paper towards the opposite side of the curl with the ACS rod and the ACS plate.

2.2.2Automatic cutter

The automatic paper cutter consists of an upper blade (rotary) and a lower blade (stationary). As the upper blade rotates around the left end as a support, the recording paper will be cut. Upon completion of cutting operation, the upper blade returns to the home position which is detected by the cutter sensor.

III –3

2.3 Sensors

This equipment has two photosensors and four mechanical sensors as described below.

Photosensors

Document front sensor which detects a presence of documents.

Document rear sensor which detects the leading and trailing edges of pages to tell the control circuitry when the leading edge of a new page has reached the starting position and when the scan for that page is over.

These two photosensors are located on the main PCB. They are of a reflection type consisting of a light-emitting diode and a light-receiving transistor. Each of them has an actuator separately arranged (see the next page). If an actuator is activated, its white end will come to the path of light issued from the light-emitting diode and reflect its light. The moment the reflected light enters the light-receiving transistor, the sensor signals the detection.

Mechanical sensors

PE (paper empty) sensor which detects whether the recording paper is present.

Cover sensor which detects whether the recording paper cover is closed.

Cutter sensor which detects the home position of the upper rotary blade of the automatic cutter.

Hook switch sensor which detects whether the handset is placed on the handset mount.

These four sensors are located on the NCU PCB. Each of them has an actuator separately arranged (see the next page). If an actuator is activated, its lower end pushes down the lever provided on the corresponding sensor so that the sensor signals the detection.

2.4Power Transmission Shift by the Planetary Gear Train and Clutch Solenoid

The equipment has a single drive motor whose power transmission route can be switched by the planetary gear train and the clutch solenoid. Accordingly, the equipment mechanism can function in four operation modes (recording, scanning, copying, and cutter driving modes).

2.4.1Description of planetary gear train

The planetary gear train consists of the sun gear 18/73, two planet gears 20, arm A, and arm B, as shown below.

Arm B

Sun gear 18/73

Planet gear 20A

Arm A

Planet gear 20B

Sun gear 18/73

Planet gear 20B

Motor gear

Arm B

Stopper of arm A

Arm A

Planet gear 20A

If the motor rotates, the sun gear 18/73 rotates so that the rotational force is transmitted to the engagement between the sun gear and the planet gears 20. Since the arms and planet gears are so designed that the moment of the arms is less than that of the planet gears, the arms turn around the center shaft in the same direction as the sun gear 18/73.

If the planet gear(s) becomes engaged with any other gear so that the arm cannot turn furthermore, the rotational force of the sun gear 18/73 is transmitted to that planet gear. Accordingly, the planet gear starts rotation in the opposite direction of the sun gear 18/73.

III –6

2.4.2Power transmission for four operation modes

Depending upon the clutch solenoid ON/OFF state and the motor rotation direction, the planetary gear train switches the power transmission route for the four operation modes.

[ 1 ] Recording mode (Solenoid: OFF, Motor rotation: Forward)

In the recording mode, the control system deactivates the clutch solenoid (see the above figure, Solenoid: OFF). Therefore, when the motor rotates in the forward direction, the clutch lever turns clockwise with the spring and its cutout X becomes engaged with the stopper of arm A. Once arm A is locked, the planet gear 20A (C2) will not be engaged with any other gear but simply idle.

The motor rotation turns the sun gear 18/73 (B) counterclockwise so that the planet gear 20B (C1) transmits the rotation to the platen gear (E) via the gear D.

[ 2 ] Scanning mode (Solenoid: OFF, Motor rotation: Reverse)

Just as in the recording mode, the control system deactivates the clutch solenoid in the scanning mode to lock arm A.

The motor rotates in the reverse direction and the sun gear 18/73 (B) rotates clockwise so that the planet gear 20A (C2) transmits the rotation to the separation roller gear (L) and LF roller gear (O) via the several gears.

[ 3 ] Copying mode (Solenoid: ON OFF, Motor rotation: Forward)

The control system at first activates the clutch solenoid to release the stopper of arm A from coutout X of the clutch lever while rotating the motor in the forward direction. Accordingly, the sun gear 18/73 (B) rotates counterclockwise so that both the planet gears 20B (C1) and 20A (C2) transmit the rotation to the platen gear (E) and the roller gears (separation roller gear and LF roller gear), respectively.

Once the planet gear 20A becomes engaged with the gear P, the control system deactivates the clutch solenoid.

The control system activates the clutch solenoid to release the stopper of arm A from cutout X of the clutch lever. When the motor rotates in the reverse direction, the sun gear 18/73

(B) rotates clockwise so that the planet gear 20A (C2) transmits the rotation to the cutter gear (Q).

Since the planet gear 20B (C1) is blocked by section Y of the clutch lever, it remains idling without engaging with any other gear.
