The horizontal registration sensor moves to the start position (A4 detection position) when the main power
switch is turned on or the front cover is closed, and moves to a detection position to suit the size of paper
expected in the lower feeding assembly. Its position of etection is "paper width +2 mm."
The paper detection mechanism starts when paper moved to the lower feeding assembly has moved past
the confluence sensor (PI 15) and has been moved over a specific distance (about 10mm past the horizontal
registration sensor).
The position of paper is detected with reference to the start position and by finding out the difference be-
tween the start position and the actual paper position from the number of drive pulses (1 pulse = about 0.16
mm) of the motor.
By the horizontal registration sensor (PS18)
By the post-confluence sensor (PS15)
By the horizontal registration motor (M15)
By controlling the horizontal registration motor pulses (1 pulse = about 0.16 mm)
