PAPER FEED 23 February, 2001

2.2 PAPER FEED

[A]

[C]
G569D102.WMF
This product uses an FRR type paper feed mechanism.
The paper feed unit consists of the pick-up roller [A], paper feed roller [B],
separation roller [C], and relay roller.
There is a torque limiter (ferrite powder type) in the back of the separation roller.

G569D108.WMF
To prevent the paper from being torn when pulling out the paper feed tray, the separation and pickup rollers are set so that they release automatically.
When the paper tray [A] is not inside the machine, the separation roller [B] is away from the paper feed roller [C] and the pick-up roller [D] stays in the upper position.
When the paper tray is set into the machine, it pushes the release lever [E]. This causes the pick-up roller to go down into contact with the top sheet of paper and the separation roller to move up and contact the paper feed roller.

[G]
[F]
[E]
[A]
[C]
[D]
[B]
G569D103.WMF
When the paper feed tray is put in the m achine, the tray sensor on the back face turns on and the tray lift motor [A] starts. The base plate lift shaft [B] is coupled to the lift motor at shaft [C], so the base plate of the tray is lifted. After a short while, the top of the paper stack contacts the pick-up roller and lifts it up.
When this occurs, the actuator enters the upper limit sensor, the sensor turns off and the lift motor stops. When paper in the tray is used up, the pick-up roller is gradually lowered, and the actuator leaves the upper limit sensor (turning the sensor on). When this happens, the lift motor begins turning again. The tray will then be lifted until the actuator enters the upper limit sensor (turning the sensor off again).
When the tray is removed from the printer, the coupling between the lift motor and base plate lift shaft is broken and the base plate goes into a controlled free fall (using a damper [D] to slow the fall and prevent damage).

23 February, 2001 NEAR END/END DETECTION

2.5 NEAR END/END DETECTION

This tray holds two stacks of paper, so the machine needs to monitor the status of both these stacks. There are seven sensors to do this.
In the right tray (paper feed side), three height sensors ([E] in the diagram on the previous page) measure the height of the stack, and an end sensor detects when all the paper is used up. As the amount of paper remaining in the tray decreases, the base plate rises and the actuator activates the paper height sensors. When paper runs out in the right tray, the stack in the left tray is moved across to the right tray.
There are also two height sensors ([F] in the diagram on the previous page) and an end sensor in the left tray (paper storage side) ([G] in the diagram on the previous page). When there is no paper in both trays, paper end is detected.
The machine determines the amount of remaining paper based on the sensor outputs, as shown in the following table.

[D]
[B]
[A]
G569D104.WMF
When the pa per in the right tray is used up, t he tray motor [A] and stack t ransport clutch [B] turn on. Then the rear fence [C] moves the stack of paper from the left tray to the right tray.
While the stack is being moved, it pushes the side fence aside, and the side fence open/closed sensor [D] detects that the fence is open.
After the stack has been moved across, a spring in the side fence moves the side fence back, and the sensor detects that the fence is closed. Then, the tray motor reverses until end fence home position sensor [E] is deactivated.

G569D106.WMF

G569D111.WMF
[D]
The paper end sensor [A] detects when copy paper in the right tray runs out. When there is paper in the tray, the paper pushes up the paper end feeler [B] and
causes the actuator to enter the sensor. When paper runs out, the feeler drops and the actuator leaves the sensor, and the machine detects that there is no paper in the tray.
When the tray is being pulled out, the lever [E] lifts the pick-up roller and this also lifts up the feeler.
