PAPER FEED AND REGISTRATION
Feed Station Overview
The machine can feed paper from the manual feed table or the optional roll feeder.
With all options installed, there are four paper feed sources:
• Manual Feed Table (bypass tray)
• Roll 1: Front roll in the Roll Feeder (Roll Feeder B641 has the front roll only)
• Roll 2: Rear roll in the Roll Feeder (Roll Feeder B642 has the front and rear rolls.
• Paper Cassette (installed in the bottom of the Roll Feeder)
The user sets one of these paper feed sources at the operation panel.
When the machine detects the original, the feed motor and the registration motor
start, and paper feed starts. The paper goes into the machine from the paper
supply source, goes through the RF exit rollers, and then to the registration rollers.
The registration rollers stop temporarily for paper skew correction, and then start
again to feed the paper to the drum.
Manual Feed Table
The manual feed table (bypass tray) is the main station for paper supply for this
machine. (The roll feeder and paper cassette are options.) Because of this, the
manual feed table is not a "bypass" tray, although the name for the manual feed
table is "bypass tray" in the User Tools menus.
The manual feed table feeds one pre-cut sheet.
Roll Feeder
The cutter cuts the paper after the machine feeds the specified paper length. The
RF exit sensor monitors paper feed.
The start time of the cutter is controlled by the cutting mode set by the user at the
operation panel:
• Preset 1. Cuts a preset SEF length. The size of the original is ignored.
• Preset 2. Cuts a preset LEF length. The size of the original is ignored.
• Synchro. Cuts the copy paper to the same length as the original.
• Variable. Cuts the copy to the length that was input at the operation panel.
After the last cut of a job, the feed roller changes direction and feeds the leading
edge of the paper to its home position. This makes sure that the paper path is not
blocked when paper feed starts for the next job.
Paper Cassette
The optional universal-type paper cassette, installed in the bottom of the roll feeder,
feeds cut sheets.
Paper Width and Media Type Settings
After a roll is installed, the width of the paper and the type of paper must be set
with User Tools. These settings control machine parameters (for example, toner
supply, and temperature in the fusing unit).
