Paper Feed

6.5.2 DRIVE AND PAPER END DETECTION

Paper Feed
The transport/fusing motor [A] controls the paper feed roller [B] and registration roller [C]
with the paper feed clutch [D], registration clutch [E] and gears. (The transport/fusing motor
also controls the fusing unit and paper exit roller.) The paper feed roller feeds a sheet of
paper to the registration roller [C].
When the registration sensor [F] detects a sheet of paper, the machine makes a paper
buckle at the registration roller to correct paper skew. After that, the registration clutch turns
on, and then the registration roller transports a sheet of paper to the transfer roller unit.

Paper End Detection

There is a paper end sensor [G] in the tray. The feeler drops into the cutout in the bottom
plate and the actuator interrupts the paper end sensor. This sensor also detects whether
the tray is set.
