Bypass Feed Slot
[A]
[B]
H523D520.wmf
When a sheet of paper is placed in the bypass feed slot, the bypass feed sen-
sor is turned on. The machine turns the paper feed motor counter-clockwise
to prefeed the paper until the registration sensor [A] is turned on, or for 1 sec-
ond, whichever is first.(See section 2-2-8 for a diagram of the registration
sensor.)
When the paper feed motor turns counter-clockwise, the gear box assembly
[B] prevents any drive from being transmittted to the paper feed rollers for the
standard cassette.
If a sheet of paper remains in the bypass feed slot for longer than the Auto
Reset Time (System Switch 0B), the machine will automatically feed it out.
The machine will not print incoming fax messages while there is a sheet of pa-
per in the bypass feed slot, so feeding out the page after the Auto Reset time
allows incoming faxes to be printed even if someone leaves paper in the by-
pass feed slot.
Sheets of paper longer than about 600 mm cannot be fed from the bypass
feed slot, or a paper jam will occur (error code 9-81).
Note that the bypass feed slot can be used only for copying and for printing
from the PC.
