The feed motor (M1) control circuit diagram is shown below. The feed motor (M1) is a 2-phase stepping motor. This circuit mainly performs the following types
of control:
- Motor ON/OFF control
- Motor rotation direction control
- Motor speed control
The feed motor of the ADF is controlled by the ASIC (IC1) on the reader controller PCB. The ASIC (IC1) on the reader controller PCB outputs drive pulses to the
feed motor according to the selected print mode (magnification, operation mode, timing, etc.).
The feed motor is a stepping motor. Its rotation direction and speed are controlled by changing the order of output pulses (RMOT_A, RMOT_A*, RMOT_B, and
RMOT_B*) and frequency.
2.7 Detecting Jams
2.7.1 Jam
This machine detects a jam using the sensors shown below. Document jam check timings are stored in the ROM on the image processor PCB to check whether a
jam has occurred according to presence/absence of the document at the relevant sensor position.
When a jam occurs, the host machine stores its code.
Jam codes can be checked by outputting a jam error log report in the service mode of the host machine.
