Paper Stack Transport - Ricoh B230 Service Manual

Paper Stack Transport

2.7 PAPER STACK TRANSPORT
When the paper in the paper feed side is used up, the tray motor [A] and stack transport
clutch [B] turn on. Then the end fence [C] moves the stack of paper from the paper
storage side to the paper feed side.
During paper feed, the stack transport clutch (
does not switch on, so drive from the tray motor only transfers to the relay roller
and not to the fence mechanism.
While the stack is in motion, it pushes the side fence [D] aside, and the side fence sensor
[E] detects that the fence is open.
After the stack has been moved all the way across, a spring in the side fence moves the
side fence back, and the side fence sensor detects that the fence is closed. Then, the tray
motor reverses until end fence home position sensor [F] is deactivated.
