The Release motor (M2) control circuit diagram is shown below. The Release motor (M2) 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 Release motor of the ADF is controlled by the main controller PCB. The main controller PCB outputs drive pulses to the Release motor according to the doc-
ument feed timing.
The Release motor is a stepping motor. Its rotation direction and speed are controlled by changing the order of drive pulses (A, /A, B, /B) and frequency.
