• Sheet with large curling, bending, or
wrinkling.
If an original has large curling, straighten
it out as much as possible, and place it so that
the curling edge is the trailing edge.
Note:
The specifications are subject to change
for product improvement.
Note 2:
Time Taken to Replace Originals
The value indicates the time passing from
when an original is moved to when its trailing
edge reaches the point of exposure. However,
it does not include separation of the original.

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.

A default size is identified in reference to
±10 mm for the length of an original, and ±5
mm for the width. Any lengths or widths
falling outside these ranges will be assumed to
represent a non-default size original.

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.

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.

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.

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.
