MECHANICAL OPERATION 23 April 1993
4. MECHANICAL OPERATION
[F][G]
[D]
[E]
[A]
[C]
The LCT uses an FRR feed system which uses three rolle rs. The pick-up [A], separation [B] and feed [C] rollers are common with those of the by-pass feed unit of the mainframe but different from those of the paper feed stations in the paper t ray unit.
[B]
The LCT feed motor [D] drive s the pick-up, separation, fee d, and transport [E] rollers.
The pick-up and feed rollers rotate only when the LCT feed clutch [F] activates.
Paper feeding starts when the LCT pick up sole noid [G] activates.

5. PAPER LIFT MECHANISM
[C]
[B]
[C]
[A]
The bottom plate [A] of the LCT is raised and lowered by th e LCT mot or [B] and the drive belts [C]. When the main swit ch is on and th e LCT cover is closed, the pick-up sole no id [D] activates and the LCT motor [B] rotates clockwise to raise the bottom plate until the top sheet pu she s up th e pick-up roller [E]. When the lift sen sor [F] is de-act ua te d, the copie r CP U de-a ctivates the LCT motor [B] and the pick-up solenoid [D].

PAPER LIFT MECHANISM 23 April 1993
[C]
[A]
[B]
If the tray down switch [A] is presse d, or paper runs out, or a paper jam occurs in the LCT, the LCT motor [B] rotates counterclockwise to lower the bottom plate. Howeve r, it is not lowere d all the way down at this time. When the paper position sensor [C] activa te s, th e LCT mot or sto ps on ce. At this point, the bottom plate (or the top sheet of paper) is positioned about 5cm below the top. This gives eno ugh space for the customer to replenish about 500 sheets of paper. If the tray down switch is the n pre ssed again, the bottom plat e move s down and stops once again when the top sheet of paper just passes the paper position sensor. In this way, the botto m plate is lowered 5cm at each press of the tray down switch. This allows the custo mer to replenish paper in convenient amounts and at the same position.

23 April 1993 PAPER END DETECTION
6. PAPER END DETECTION
[B]
The paper end sensor [A] detects paper on the bottom plate. If there is paper on the table, reflected light from th e pape r activa te s the paper en d sen sor. When the paper runs out, the paper end senso r de-activates and informs the copier CPU of the paper e nd cond itio n.
The paper near end senso r [B] also detects the paper and the tray bo tt om plate. If there is enou gh pap er on the tab le, reflected light from the pap er activates the paper near en d sensor. If less than about 60 sheet s of pa pe r remain, the paper near end sensor de-activates beca use the black colo red bottom plate does not ref lect the light from the sensor LED.
