12-5. Scanner and 2nd/3rd Mirror Carriage Movement

The Scanner and 2nd/3rd Mirrors Carriage are moved by the Scanner Drive Cable fitted in
the rear side of the copier. The Cable is driven by the Scanner Motor.
Both the Scanner and 2nd/3rd Mirrors Carriage slide along the Scanner Shaft at the rear
side. While at the front side, there is a Slide Bushing attached to the underside of each of
the bodies and that Bushing slides over the Slide Rail. The speed of the Scanner and 2nd/
3rd Mirrors Carriage varies with different zoom ratios.
Scanner Reference Position Sensor detects the home position of the Scanner and 2nd/3rd
Mirrors Carriage. If they are not at the home position when the copier is turned ON, the
Scanner Motor is energized to move them to the home position.
