The ADF is equipped with three motors for separation, feeding, and delivery (reversal)
and one brake.
The separation motor (M1) is used to separate and pick up originals. The feed motor (M2) is used
to move originals to and stop them at the copyboard glass, while the reversal delivery motor (M3) is
deigned to deliver or reverse originals. The brake (BK) serves to stop the operation of the feed motor
(M2).

The presence/absence of an original on the
original tray is detected by the original set
sensor. When an original is placed on the
original tray, the light from the light-emitting
side of the original set sensor is blocked, and
the light-receiving side of the original set
sensor starts to send the original detection
signal (EMP) to the ADF controller PCB.
In response, the ADF controller PCB
generates the original set indicator ON signal
(OGLED) to turn not the Original Set indicator
(U507).
The ADF identifies the size of an original
in terms of length (feeding direction) and
width.
The length is computed in reference to the
number of clock signals from the preregistration sensor (U502) and the registration
roller.
When the pre-registration sensor detects
the leading edge of an original (ON) and the
trailing edge (OFF), the ADF controller
computes the time taken by the original to
move past the pre-registration sensor with
reference to the number of clock signals from
the feed motor clock sensor (SR1) to find out
the size in the lengthwise direction (feeding
direction).
The ADF controller uses the result to
identify a default size, and communicates it to
the copier so that copy paper of the appropriate
size may be selected.
The ADF refers to the original width
detecting volume (U508) located inside the
original tray to find out the width of an original.
The original width detecting volume
operates in conjunction with the slide guides,
and the resistance of the voltage varies in
analog mode. The ADF controller uses
changes occurring in the resistance as the
original size detection signal (WIDE), and uses
them to find out the width of a specific original.

· Slide Guide Lock
The ADF is equipped with a slide guide
lock so that the slide guides will not move any
farther than 297 mm (A4 length or A3 width).
If an original larger than 297 mm is used,
the slide guide lock may be released (to
accommodate up to 305 mm). The length of the
original, nevertheless, must be 32 mm or less.
The copier assumes that any original is an
original of a default size based on the data on
length and width from the ADF. Tables 2-201,
-202, and -203 show the default sizes that the
copier will assume in reference to the length
and width data.

Table 2-203
c. Identifying the last Original
A copier with a long paper path (from
cassette to drum) is designed to pick up copy
paper early to enable faster copying operation.
As such, when the ADF picks up the last
original and places it on the copyboard glass,
the copier may already have finished picking
up copy paper.
The ADF moves the second original as far
as the pre-registration sensor immediately after
it picks up the first original (advance
separation). If the last original sensor does not
detect an original, the ADF controller will
The number of times that the registration
sensor has turned on in response to the trailing
edge of an original is used as the number of
originals.
The ADF is not equipped with an original
feed mode for counting originals when making
double-sided copies of single-sided originals.
The originals are copied in order of how they
are picked up and delivered accordingly.
The pickup roller and the lifter are moved up so as to hold the entire stack of originals, and the
separation roller is rotated. When this takes place while the stack is butted against the separation pad,
the topmost sheet is separated from the rest of the stack.
The pickup roller is moved down and the lifter is moved up by rotating the separation motor (M1)
counterclockwise. On the other hand, the pickup roller is moved up, the lifter is moved down, and the
separation roller is turned by rotating the separation motor (M1) clockwise.
The separation assembly is equipped with a separation sensor (SR3) to monitor the movement of
originals.
When the copier’s Copy Start key is pressed while originals are placed on the original tray, the
originals are picked up and separated in the following sequence of operations:
When the separation motor (M1) rotates
counterclockwise, the lifter moves up to hold
up the entire stack of originals from under,
while at the same time the pickup roller moves
down onto the stack to hold it in place.
The separation motor rotates
counterclockwise for 250 msec and then stops.
Figure 2-209
3. Arching
The original is butted against the
registration roller, and is made to arch. The
separation roller stops to rotate 52 msec after
the pre-registration sensor (U502) detects the
leading edge of the original.
Figure 2-211
2. Pickup/Separation Operations
When the separation motor (M1) rotates
clockwise, its drive reaches the pickup roller
and the separation roller and, as a result, the
first (topmost) original is picked up. The
separation pad is used to make sure that only
one original is separated and moved to the
registration roller.
At the end of this operation, the lifter starts
to move down, and then the pickup roller
moves up.
The pickup roller and the lifter are designed to operate (move up and down) in conjunction with
the separation motor (M1).
■Separation Motor Rotating Counterclockwise
When the separation motor rotates counterclockwise, the work of a cam disengages the lock used
to keep the pickup roller in place, and the pickup roller starts to move down on its own weight.
In addition, the drive reaches the arm of the lifter, causing the lifter to move up. This operation
moves up the originals while they are held intact in preparation for pickup operation.
Separation motor
Pickup roller
Lifter
Counter clockwise
Separation roller
Figure 2-212
When the separation motor (M1) rotates clockwise, the work of the cam moves down the lifter,
and then the pickup roller returns to the ascent position. When the separation motor is rotating
clockwise, the work of the one-way clutch lets the rotation drive of the separation motor (M1) to
reach the separation roller and the pickup roller. When the separation motor rotates
counterclockwise, its rotation drive will not reach the separation roller or the pickup roller.
1.When the copier’s Copy Start key is
pressed, the separation motor (M1) starts to
rotate counterclockwise. In response, the
lock used to keep the pickup roller in place
becomes disengaged, and the pickup roller
falls down on the original on its own
weight.
The work of a cam, on the other hand,
moves up the lifter and, consequently, the
original.
The separation motor rotates
counterclockwise
for 250 msec and then stops to end ascent.
M1
3.A moment after the separation motor starts
to rotate clockwise, the lifter starts to move
down by the work of the cam.
Then, the pickup roller starts to move up
while rotating, returning to its initial
position.
M1
Figure 2-216
Figure 2-214
2.When the pickup roller stops moving
down and the lifter stops moving up, the
separation motor starts to rotate clockwise
so that its rotation drives the separation
roller and the pickup roller, moving the
first original to the separation assembly.
M1
4.When the pre-registration sensor (U502)
detects the trailing edge of the original
(OFF), the separation motor starts to rotate
counterclockwise once again. In response,
the lock used to keep the pickup roller in
place becomes disengaged, and the pickup
roller falls down onto the original on its
own weight.
The work of the cam, on the other hand,
moves up the lifter to hold up the original.

3. Separation Sensor (SR3)
The original feeding path is equipped with a separation sensor (SR3) to monitor the movement of
originals.
If the separation sensor does not detect an original a specific time after the separation motor has
started to rotate clockwise to move an original, the ADF controller will assume the condition as a
separation fault (delay), and will stop the machine and cause the copier to indicate the Jam message.
Figure 2-219 is a diagram of the control circuit used for the separtion motor (M1).
The separation motor is a DC motor, and the CPU (Q1) on the ADF controller PCB sends the
separation motor rotation speed control signal (SMPWM) and the separation motor rotation direction
signal (SMFWD, SMREV) to the drive circuit, which in response drives the separation motor.
The control circuit does no possess a circuit designed to communicate the state of the separation
motor back to the CPU (Q1). The rotation speed control signal (SMPWM) remains the same at all
times, and no correction is made even when changes occur in the rotation speed of the separation
motor because of external force.

The drive of the feed motor (M2) is used to rotate the registration roller and the feed belt drive
roller, thereby moving originals.
Originals are moved in normal or reverse direction according to the size of the original (small,
large) and operating mode (single-sided, double-sided).
When an original has been picked up and moved to the separation assembly, the feed motor (M2)
is rotated clockwise. Its drive reaches the registration roller and the feed belt link roller, and the
original is moved to the copyboard glass.
Figure 2-222
2. Slowing Down the Movement
When the pre-registration sensor (U502) detects the trailing edge of an original (OFF), the length
(in feeding direction) of the original is computed from the time of detection by the pre-registration
sensor and the number of clocks from the feed motor.
At the same time, the movement is decelerated gradually so that the trailing edge of the original is
moved to the image leading edge position on the copyboard glass.
When the original reaches the image leading edge position on the copyboard glass, the feed
motor brake (CL) is turned on to stop its movement.
If the original is a small-size original (continuous feeding), the next original is picked up at that
point in time, and is butted against the registration roller.
If the original is a large-size original (or mixed sizes), the next original is picked up when the
scanner ended its forward movement.
Figure 2-224
4. Starting Delivery (end of copying)
When the copier has ended its scanning operation, the feed motor (M2) is rotated clockwise once
again to rotate the registration roller and the feed belt drive roller so that the original is moved to the
reversal delivery assembly.
If the original is a small-size original (continuous feeding), the original is moved to the right half
of the copyboard glass; if it is a large-size original, on the other hand, it is moved to the reversal
delivery assembly.
Figure 2-225 is a diagram of the control circuit used for the feed motor (M2).
The feed motor is a DC motor. The CPU (Q1) on the ADF controller PCB sends the feed motor
rotation speed control signal (FMPWM) and the feed motor rotation direction signal (FMFWD,
FMREV) to the drive circuit, which in response drives the feed motor.
When the feed motor (M1) starts to rotate, the feed motor clock sensor (SR1) turns on to send the
feed motor lock signal (FMCK) to the CPU (Q1). In response, the CPU (Q1) compares the rotation
speed that has been selected in advance and the feed motor clock signals (FMCK), and varies the
feed motor rotation speed control signal (FMPWM) to enable the selected speed.

The relationship between the feed motor rotation speed control signal (FMPWM), feed motor
rotation direction signal (FMFWD, FMREV), and feed motor is as follows:
An original is delivered by the reversal delivery roller and the reversal delivery link roller using
the drive of the reversal delivery motor (M3).
The ADF moves an original by the reversal delivery roller in feeding direction, switches the
feeding path, and rotates the reversal delivery motor counterclockwise to start delivery. In other
words, originals are delivered to the delivery tray face down, starting with the first page.
The feeding path is switched by opening and closing two flappers. The reversal delivery
registration sensor and the delivery sensor operate in conjunction with the two levers located in the
feeding path, and turn on or off according to the direction of rotation of the reversal delivery motor.
If the original is a small-size original, the
reversal delivery motor (M3) is rotated
clockwise so that the original is moved to the
small-size switch-back position; then, it is
delivered to the delivery tray face down by
rotating the reversal delivery motor
counterclockwise.
1. Starting Delivery
When the copier ends scanning, the
original on the copyboard glass is moved to the
reversal delivery assembly by rotating the feed
motor (M2) clockwise once again.
2. Delivery (clockwise rotation)
When the reversal delivery registration
sensor (SR5) detects the leading edge of an
original (ON), the reversal delivery motor (M3)
rotates clockwise to move the original to the
reversal delivery assembly.
At this time, the reversal delivery motor is
rotated clockwise so that the original is moved
to the path where the flapper is closed.
Figure 2-230
Figure 2-229
3. Delivery (counterclockwise rotation)
When the reversal delivery registration
sensor (SR5) detects the leading edge of an
original (OFF), the reversal delivery motor
(M3) moves the original over a specific
distance (until the leading edge of the original
reaches the switch-back position), and stops.
The reversal delivery motor (M3) starts to
move counterclockwise when the original
reaches and stops at the switch-back position.
The reversal delivery motor rotates
counterclockwise, and the original is moved to
the feeding path where the flapper is open.
The reversal delivery motor is controlled
for deceleration when an original has been
moved over a specific distance after the
delivery sensor (SR5) detects its leading edge.
b. Large-Size Originals (A4R, B5R, A3,
B4, LTRR, LGL, 11X17)
If the original is a large-size original, the
reversal delivery motor (M3) is rotated
clockwise to move the original to the large-size
reversal position; then, the reversal delivery
motor is rotated counterclockwise to move the
original to the delivery tray face down.
1. Start of Delivery
When the copier ends scanning operation,
the original on the copyboard glass is moved to
the reversal delivery assembly by rotating the
feed motor (M2) clockwise once again.
Figure 2-232
5. End of Delivery
The reversal delivery motor (M3) is
decelerated, and then is rotated
counterclockwise until the original reaches the
delivery tray (face down), at which time it is
stopped.
When the reversal delivery motor has
stopped, it is rotated clockwise once again for
an equivalent of 60 mm to close the flapper.
When the reversal delivery inlet sensor
(SR4) detects the leading edge of an original
(ON), the reversal delivery motor (M3) rotates
clockwise to move the original to the reversal
delivery assembly.
At this time, the reversal delivery motor
rotates clockwise so that the original is moved
to the paper path where the flapper is closed.
Figure 2-235
4. End of Reversal
When the reversal outlet sensor (U505)
detects the trailing edge of an original (OFF),
the feed motor (M2) moves the original over a
specific distance (until the leading edge of an
original reaches the reversal stop position, and
stops.
Figure 2-237
3. Start of Reversal
When the reversal outlet sensor (U505)
detects the leading edge of an original (ON),
the feed motor (M2) rotates to move the
original back to the original glass.
Figure 2-236
5. Switching the Feeding Path
When the original has stopped at the
reversal stop position, the reversal delivery
motor (M3) is rotated counterclockwise for an
equivalent of 60 mm to keep the flapper open.
When the flapper opens, the feed motor
(M2) starts to move clockwise, and the reversal
delivery motor (M3) starts to move
counterclockwise to deliver the original to the
delivery tray.
When the reversal inlet sensor (SR4)
detects the leading edge of an original (ON),
the feed motor starts counting; as soon as the
original leaves the retaining roll, the count is
incremented, and the reversal delivery motor
(M3) is subjected to deceleration control.
CHAPTER 2 BASIC OPERATION
Figure 2-239
7. End of Delivery
After deceleration control, the reversal
delivery motor (M3) rotates counterclockwise
until the original reaches the delivery tray (face
down), at which time it stops.
The reversal delivery motor stops, and then
it rotates for an equivalent of 60 mm once again
to close the flapper.
Figure 2-243 is a diagram of the control circuit used for the reversal delivery motor (M3).
The reversal delivery motor is a DC motor. The CPU (Q1) on the ADF controller PCB sends the
reversal delivery motor rotation speed control signal (EMPWM) and the reversal delivery motor
rotation direction signal (EMFWD, EMREV) to the drive circuit, which in response drives the
reversal delivery motor.
When the reversal delivery motor (M3) rotates, the reversal delivery motor clock sensor (SR7)
turns on to send the reversal delivery motor clock signal (EMCK) to the CPU (Q1).
The CPU (Q1) compares the rotation speed selected in advance and the reversal delivery motor
clock signal (FMCK), and varies the reversal delivery motor rotation speed control signal (EMPWM)
to suit the selected speed.

When making single-sided copies of small-size originals, the second original is picked up as soon
as the first original is sent to the copyboard glass.
The original sent to the copyboard glass is scanned, and then moved to the right, while the next
original is sent to the copyboard glass.

When making single-sided copies of large-size originals, the second original is sent to the
copyboard glass after the first original has been delivered. In the case of large-size originals, delivery
occurs after the original moved to the reversal delivery assembly is turned over and returned to the
copyboard glass.

The reversal delivery motor stops once, and then rotates clockwise so that the reversal delivery
flapper closes.
When making double-sided copies, the face of an original is scanned, and the original is turned
over while it is moved through the reversal delivery assembly; thereafter, the original is returned to
the pre-registration sensor (U502) once, and matched against the image leading edge position on the
copyboard glass, and its back is scanned before delivery.

4. Mixed Sizes
The ADF allows placement of originals of different sizes (but of the same configuration width).
Regardless of whether they are small- or large-size, the second original is sent to the copyboard glass
only after the first original has been delivered. The mode of operation is the same as the mode used
for large-size paper or the last of double-sided copying.
5. Jam Removal Mode
When a jam occurs, the originals that may have been copied and that remain on the copyboard
glass are moved without specific operation. The flow of originals is the same as when making singlesided copies, but scanning does not take place.
The ADF uses the following sensors to check for original jams. The timing at which checks are
made is stored in advance in the CPU (Q1) on the ADF controller PCB, and a jam is identified in
relation to the presence/absence of paper over a specific sensor.
In response to a jam, the ADF communicates to the copier in the form of a code, which may be
checked in the copier’s service mode (COPIER>DISPLAY>JAM).

1. Response to a Jam
The ADF is stopped immediately in response to any of the jams in Table 2-207.
2. Resetting after a Jam
For a pickup delay jam, remove the originals from the original tray to reset the ADF. For other
types of jams, remove the originals from the original tray and from inside the ADF; then, open
and close the ADF to reset.
3. An alarm indication will turn on when either of the following is executed:
·mixed size operation without selecting mixed size mode
·copying stapled originals
If the original must be removed from inside the machine, both jam and alarm indications will be
turned on.
For example, the "Alarm and 8C Jam" indications may be turned on at the same time. The
alarm indication will remain for 5 sec after removal of the jam and, thereafter, the alarm will
automatically turn off.

008C (jam) will also be indicated at the same time.
After the removal of the jam, the alarm (0014) will be indicated
for 5 sec; thereafter, the alarm will automatically be reset.
At time of a jam, the copier remembers how may originals it has copied, and sends the
information to the ADF controller upon removal of the jam.
In response, the ADF controller circulates the originals that have been copied already, and
places the originals that have not been copied on the copyboard for copying. For this reason,
normal copying operation would not be possible if the number of originals after removal of
jams differs from the number of originals before the jam.
In the case of [1] in the following diagram, the ADF and the copier will stop to operate, treating
the condition as a “different numbers of originals.” Keep in mind, however that, in the case of
[2], normal operation will continue.

The originals are counted,
and then copying starts with

1. Resetting
To reset in response to wrong placement of originals, remove all originals from the original tray,
and place them back again. The copier will indicate a message; follow the instructions.
The following figure shows an outline of the power supply system.
The ADF is supplied with two channels of 24 V power by the copier. One line (J2) runs through
a circuit breaker (CB1) to reach various loads; the circuit breaker is designed to turn on in response to
an overcurrent threatening the ADF’s circuitry. The other line (J1F) caries power which is converted
into 5 V by a regulator (Q17) and is used by logic and sensor systems; a fuse resistor (FU1, FU2) is
provided to cut off the power in response to an overcurrent in the circuit, thereby protecting the
circuit.
If you must remove the ADF controller
PCB as part of removing the pickup unit
or the reversal delivery unit, be sure to
remove the ADF from the copier first.
1)Remove the two mounting screws [2], and
detach the ADF controller cover [1].
3)Remove the two screws [4], and detach the
ADF controller PCB [3].
