The envelope feeder pick-up motor (SMT11) is a stepping motor that is rotated clockwise and
counterclockwise by the envelope feeder driver PCB.
When the motor rotates clockwise, all rollers in the envelope feeder are rotated. When it
rotates counterclockwise, only the upper separation roller and feed rollers are rotated.
The envelope feeder driver PCB rotates the pick-up motor clockwise for about 1.0 second
when it receives the 1st Start command from the DC controller. After 0.1 seconds, the motor is
rotated counterclockwise for about 1.9 seconds. This process picks up and feeds the envelope
into the printer.
The envelope is stopped when it is 16mm past the registration paper sensor (PS1). Following
this, the envelope feeder driver PCB rotates the pick-up motor counterclockwise for about 1 sec-
ond in response to the 2nd Start command sent from the DC controller to feed the envelope
