Vertical Paper Feed
A vertical feed motor (1) and drive belt (2) rotate the registration roller (3) and exit
roller (4) to feed paper in the paper path. The diameter of the exit roller is slightly
larger than the diameter of the registration roller. This keeps the paper slightly
stretched to prevent buckling.
The operation of the vertical motor is controlled by a vertical encoder wheel (5)
mounted on the left side of the machine in front of the vertical feed motor.
A vertical encoder sensor (6) bracketing the edge of the vertical encoder wheel
reads the codes on the edge of the wheel as it rotates to control vertical paper
feed.
The vertical encoder HP sensor (7) stops the motor when the wheel reaches the
home position at the end of a job.
