The ADF of this machine is a document feeder designed only for stream reading. It performs document pickup, transport, and delivery operations sequentially with
the aid of the ADF pickup motor (M2001) and read motor (M2002). Feed of the document supplied from the document setting (placement) section is controlled by
the ADF registration roller so that the document is ready at the same time for image reading by the contact image sensor in the main unit. The document transported
to the stream reading position is read as analog image data, and then transported to the delivery section.
The ADF has five sensors for document status monitoring. Names and roles of these sensors are summarized below.
