2. COMBINE 2 ORIGINALS MODE
2.1 OVERVIEW
[Fig.1]
Two originals are fed onto th e exp osure glass at once in the combine 2 originals mode as shown in figure 1. This allo ws copying 2 originals onto one sheet of paper automatically eit he r in the full size mod e or in the red uct ion mode. If it is used together with the duplex mode, 4 originals can be copied on a single sheet of paper aut o ma tically.
If odd numbered originals are place d on the origin al ta ble, the last original is placed on the exposure glass as sho wn in fig ure 2.
Only 1-sided originals can be used, and Auto Pa per Select (APS) and Auto Reduce/Enlarge mod es cannot be used with this mode.

2.2 OPERATION
[A]
[Fig. 1]
3 mm
[Fig. 2]
The original transpo rt spe ed in the combine 2 originals mode is 203 mm/second, while the speed in DF, SA DF, and ARDF modes is 810 mm/second. This is to accurately con tro l t he 2 origin als’ sto p po sitio n on the exposure glass. The orig ina ls exchange speed is about 4 seconds.
The DF operation in the combine 2 originals mode is as follows:
[Figure 1]
100 milliseconds after the registration sensor [A] detects the trailing edge of the first original, the feed-in clutch turns on again to feed the second original.
[Figure 2]
When the registration sensor detects the leading edge of the second original, the feed-in clutch turns off and the DF CPU starts counting the encoder pulses of the belt drive motor. At the proper timing, the belt drive mot or tu rns off to place the leading edge of the second original 3 mm (0 .1 2" ) away from the left scale edge.

[Fig. 4]
[Figure 3]
The belt drive motor starts the reverse rotatio n to align e the first original against the left scale. Then the belt drive motor stops. As the feed-in clutch stays off during this operation and the pull-out rollers have one-way bearings, the second original stays whe re it is. The refore, the distance between the first and second originals becomes 3mm.
[Figure 4]
The belt drive motor starts the normal rotatio n to tran spo rt both the first and second originals ont o th e exposure glass, keeping th e same distance between them. At the proper timing after the tra iling edge of the secon d original passes the registra tio n sen sor, the belt drive motor stops to place the first and second originals on the exposure glass, as shown. There is no adjustment for th e combine 2 original mode. However, when the lead edge registration is adju ste d pro perly in the thin original mode, the lead edge registration [A ] in the combine 2 originals mode should be 0± 2.5 mm (0±0.1"). The distance [B ] be twe en the first and seco nd origin als is 3±3 mm (0.12"±0.12" ). This is fixed by the software.

After copying of these origin als is finish ed , th e be lt drive mo to r and the feed-out motor turn on to feed out th e originals. When the leading edge of the first original is detected by the feed -ou t sen sor [C], the feed-in clutch turns on to start feeding the first original of the next cycle.
