CHAPTER 3 EXPOSURE SYSTEM
IV. No. 4/5 MIRROR DRIVE SYSTEM
1.
Outline
The copier changes the reproduction ratio by varying the position of the No. 4/5 mirror and
moving the lens. Figure 3-401 shows the positions of the mirror and the lens according to different
reproduction ratios.
The mirror is driven by the mirror motor (M3), and its position is monitored by the mirror
home position sensor (Q4). The mirror is positioned with reference to the number of motor pulses
counted from the mirror home position.
When the power is turned on, the mirror motor (M3) continues to rotate clockwise until the
mirror home position sensor (Q4) turns on. Thereafter, it rotates counterclockwise for a specific
number of pulses to stop the No. 4/5 mirror at Direct position.
When a non-Direct ratio is selected during standby, both mirror and lens are driven accord-
ingly.
