In the vertical paper conveyance section, paper is fed
vertically by transmitting the drive force of M4 (paper
feed) to the vertical conveyance middle and lower roll-
ers via MC9 (vertical conveyance MC1) and MC10
(vertical conveyance MC2). The upper roller is driven
by M6 (loop roller). Each of these is controlled directly
by PRCB (printer control board). Related signals are
PS18 (vertical conveyance 1), PS53 (vertical convey-
ance 2), PS19 (vertical conveyance 3), PS54 (loop),
and PS17 (open/close detection).
When the front right or left door of this machine opens
or closes, MS1 (interlock 1) or MS2 (interlock 2) oper-
ates to interrupt the DC power supply to the motor,
stopping M6.
1. Operation
Paper supplied from one of trays 1-3 is then fed
to the second paper feed unit by the M4 and M6's
drive force transmitted via MC9 and MC10. Since
the linear velocity of the vertical conveyance mid-
dle and lower rollers driven by M4 is kept con-
stant at high speed rotation, the vertical
conveyance middle and lower rollers are stopped
by turning off MC9 and MC10 while paper is fed
by the registration roller at low speed. At this
point the upper roller operates at low speed. In
trays 2 and 3, the first paper feed operation starts

earlier than the second paper feed operation
starts. Accordingly, the paper condition in the
second paper feed section is detected by PS53
to turn OFF MC9 and MC10, stopping the con-
veyance temporarily.
