Scanner Drive - Ricoh Di-C1 Manual

Scanner
HP Sensor
Motor and wire drive mechanism
Slide 116
The same motor drives the first and second scanners.
The first scanner contains the exposure lamp, reflectors, the 1st mirror,
and the lamp regulator. The second scanner contains the 2nd and 3rd
mirrors.
The regulator is mounted on the scanner to reduce the wiring between
the lamp and the regulator.
The second scanner moves at half the speed of the first scanner. This
is to maintain the focal distance between lens and original.
In this machine, wires are used instead of timing belts. These are more
difficult to replace, but copy quality is better (less jitter).
Note that the operation in ADF mode is different from platen mode (as shown
on the previous page).
In ADF mode, the scanner goes to home position (detected by the
home position sensor), and stays there during scanning.
The scanner motor speed and image processing control the magnification.
