2.1 Basic Operation
Chapter 2
2.1.1 Pickup Operation
The stack of paper deposited in the deck is raised by the lifter and held at a specific point for pickup. The deck pickup
clutch (CL2D) goes on when the Start key is pressed.
The deck main motor (M1D) goes on to rotate the pickup roller to pick up paper.
The pickup/feed rollers and the separation roller make sure that only a single sheet of paper is sent forward. The deck
pickup sensor (PS1S) is used to detect paper. The pickup roller leaves the stack of paper when the deck pickup roller
release solenoid (SL1D) goes on. When paper is sent forward, the deck feed clutch (CL1D) goes on to rotate the deck
feed roller so that the paper is moved as far as the host machine's registration roller, where it is arched to remove any
skew.
The registration roller is used to make sure that the leading edge of paper will match the image on the photosensitive
drum.
<if pickup is not detected within a specific period of time>
If, for some reason, the deck pickup sensor (PS6D) does not detect paper in the presence of the deck pickup detection
signal, the machine will issue an alarm code.

2.1.3 Controlling the Deck Lifter Motor (M2D)
The deck lifter motor is controlled by the deck driver circuit.
The deck lifter motor is rotated clockwise/counterclockwise using the following signals:
- output signals from various sensors
- deck lifter drive command/deck lifter up command (signals from the host machine's DC controller)
1. Moving Up the Lifter (a through e must be satisfied)
a) the deck is connected to the host machine.

If, for some reason, the deck lifter position sensor (PS4D) does not detect the lifter in the presence of the deck lifter
up signal, the machine issues an alarm code.

2.2 Paper Detection
Chapter 2
2.2.1 Detecting the Presence/Absence of Paper
The deck paper absent sensor [1] (PS2D) is used to detect the presence/absence of paper.
The paper [3] deposited on the lifter [2] runs out.
The paper detecting lever [4] of the pickup roller assembly moves past the deck paper absent sensor.
The machine indicates a message to indicate the absence of paper (on the host machine's control panel).

2.2.2 Switching the Deck Paper Size
Enter the appropriate paper size in service mode (OPTION>ACC>DK-P).
Move the guide plate inside the deck to suit the paper size, and enter the size in service mode (at time of installation
or at the request of the user).
2.2.3 Detecting the Level of Paper
The following sensors are used to detect the level of paper:
- deck paper supply position sensor (PS8D)
- deck paper level sensor (PS7D)

2.3 Deck Lifter
Chapter 2
2.3.1 Detecting the Presence/Absence of Paper
The deck's lifter detects the presence/absence of paper as follows:
T-2-2
operation:moved up or down by switching the direction of rotation of the deck
lifter motor (M2D).
drive:obtained from the deck lifter motor (M2D) through cable and reel.
1. Moving Up the Lifter
The compartment is pushed inside the deck.
The deck open detecting switch (SW1D) is pressed.
The deck open sensor (PS9D) detects the light-blocking plate.
- Stopping the Lifter
The deck lifter position sensor (PS4D) detects the top surface of the stack of paper to stop the lifter.
<preventing damage to the deck caused by excess ascent>
An upper limit is set, and it is detected using the deck lifter upper limit sensor (PS3D) in consideration of the
following:
The sensor lever blocks the deck lifter position sensor for some reason (i.e., the lifter fails to stop its ascent).
2. Moving Down the Lifter
The deck open switch (SW100D) is pressed.
- Stopping the Lifter
The lifter stops where the lifter moves past the sensor lever of the deck paper supply position sensor (PS8D); i.e., at
the falling edge of sensor output.
<addition of paper in this condition>
The added paper pushes the lever of the deck paper supply position sensor (PS8D).
The lifter moves farther down until the stack of paper moves past the sensor lever.
3. Adding Paper
Each time paper is added, the lifter repeats moving down until the deck lifter lower limit detecting switch (SW2D)
