Guide Plate Release Mechanism
Slide 437
# This mechanism stops paper piling up when a jam has occurred in the vertical
feed path before reaching the registration roller.
$ When a jam occurs here, the next sheet is already on its way up from the
paper tray, and must be stopped before it gets to the jam location.
# Go over the points on the slide.
# Study how the guide plate solenoid opens the guide plate.
# The guide plate diverts any paper that is coming along the feed path into the
duplex tray until the jam is cleared.
# Copying is disabled while the guide plate is open.
$ Detected by the guide plate position sensor.
# The user has to close the guide manually after the jam is removed. If the user
forgets, a message appears on the LCD panel.
$ Also detected by the guide plate position sensor.

! The guide plate opens if
the registration sensor
does not detect paper at
the correct time.

the duplex tray, to prevent
a pile-up between the
registration roller and the
vertical transport rollers.
! The user must remove
jammed paper in the
vertical feed path, the
sheet in the duplex tray,
and manually close the
