[A]

[B]
B303D113.WMF
This LCT has three paper tray feed stations.
The upper and middle trays can each hold 1,000 sheets of paper. The lower tray
can hold 2,500 sheets of paper.
All feed stations use an FRR paper feed system (paper feed roller [A], separation
roller [B], pick-up roller [C]), and those rollers are driven by the LCT motor via the
paper feed clutch [D].

Drive from the LCT motor is transmitted to the gear [A] in the paper feed unit via
the timing belt [B].
Then the gear [A] transmits the drive to the pick-up [C], paper feed [D] and
separation [E] rollers via gears and the paper feed clutch [F].
The gear [A] also transmits the drive to the grip roller [G] via gears and the grip
roller clutch [H].

B303D105.WMF
If a paper feed station is not selected, its separation roller solenoid [A] is deÂactivated and the separation roller [B] can turn freely in the opposite direction to
paper feed.
When the paper feed station is selected and the start key is pr essed, the feed
clutch [C], separation roller solenoid [A], and the pick-up solenoid [D] all turn on.
When the feed clutch [C] activates to transfer drive to the feed roller [E], the pick-up
roller [F] also turns because it is linked to the feed roller by an idle gear [G].
When the separation roller solenoid [A] turns on, the separation roller [B] contacts
the paper feed roller [E] and turns with the feed roller in spite of the torque limiter in
the separation roller, which forces it in the opposite direction.
When the pick-up solenoid [D] activates, the pick-up roller [F] lowers to contact the
top sheet of the paper stack and send it to the paper feed and separation rollers.
When the paper feed sensor [H] detects the leading edge of the paper, the pick-up
solenoid de-energizes to lift the pick-up roller [F], and the grip roller clutch [I]
energizes to feed the paper out of the tray.

2.2.3 SEPARATION ROLLER RELEASE
[B]
[C]
[A]
B303D104.WMF
The separation roller [A] is normally away from the feed roller [B]. When the paper
feed station is selected, the separation roller solenoid [C] contacts the separation
roller with the feed roller as explained on the previous two pages.
This contact/release mechanism has the following three advantages:
1. When the LCT motor turns on, a ll the separation rollers in the three feed
stations rotate. If the separation roller is away from the feed roller, it reduces
the load on the paper feed motor and drive mechanism, and it also reduces
wear to the rubber surface of the separation roller caused by friction between
the separation roller and the feed roller.
2. After paper feed is completed, paper sometimes remains between the feed and
separation rollers. If the feed tray is removed at this time, this paper might be
torn. When the separation roller is away from the feed roller, the remaining
paper can be removed from between the rollers.
3. When paper misfeeds occur around this area, the user can easily pull out the
jammed paper between the feed and the separation rollers if the separation
roller is away from the feed roller.
After paper feed, the paper fee d clutch tuns off, but the LCT motor still turns the
separation roller [A] in reverse. The separation roller, still contacting the feed roller,
turns the feed roller in reverse for 100 ms. Then the separation solenoid turns off.

2.3.1 TRAY DETECTION
When the tray is placed in the machine, the wa y that the machine detects this
depends on the tray.
The upper tray and middle tray are detected when any one of the paper size switch
signals is low. The lower tray is detected when the switch 1 signal of the paper size
switch is low.

When the machine detect s that the pape r tray is set in the machine, the tray lift
motor [A] rotates and the coupling gear [B] on the tray lift motor engages the pin [C]
of the lift drive shaft [D]. The tray drive belts [E] are connected to the tray bottom
plate [F] and are driven by the tray lift motor via the lift drive shaft [D] and tray drive
pulleys [G]. When the lift motor turns counterclockwise, the tray bottom plate [F]
moves up. The tray goes up until the top of the paper stack pushes up the pick-up
roller and the lift sensor in the feed unit is activated.
When the actuator [H] on the rear end of the bottom plate activates the paper
height sensors [I], the remaining paper capacity is detected (4 levels).
When pulling out the tray, the coupling gear [B] separates from the pin [C], so that
the tray bottom plate moves downward. In the bottom tray, the damper [J] lets the
tray bottom plate drop slowly.

When the lift motor turns on, the pick-up solenoid [A] activates to lower the pick-up
roller [B]. When the top sheet of paper reaches the proper paper feed level, the
paper pushes up the pick-up roller and the actuator [C] on the pick-up roller
supporter [D] activates the lift sensor [E] to stop the lift motor.
After several paper feeds, the paper level gradually lowers then the lift sensor is
de-activated and the lift motor turns on again until the lift sensor is activated again.

For the bottom tray, the paper size has to be stored with SP5-019-006.
For the top and middle trays, the paper size switch [A] detects the paper size. The
paper size switch contains three microswitches. The paper size switch is actuated
by an actuator plate [B] at the rear of the tray. Each paper size has its own unique
combination as shown in the table and the CPU determines the paper size by the
combination.
The bottom tray has the same switch as the top and middle trays. However, it is
only used for detecting when the tray is pushed in.

The paper end sensor [A] detects the top sheet of the paper in the tray by
monitoring the reflected light. When the paper tray runs out of paper, the paper end
sensor does not receive the reflected light due to the cutout [B]. Then, the tray lift
motor rotates backwards 2 seconds to drop the tray bottom plate.
