Paper Take-up Section

(1) Multi-purpose Tray
Mechanism
• When the Paper Take-up Solenoid is energized, the drive of the Main Motor is transmitted to the
Paper Take-up Roller via the Paper Take-up Gear (one-way clutch) to turn the Paper Take-up
Roller one revolution.
• At the same time, the Depressing Cam turns and lifts the Paper Lifting Plate, and the first (top)
sheet of paper on the tray is fed to the printer.
• The Fixed Separating Pad is used for the paper separation system. It prevents the second and sub-
sequent sheets of paper from being fed together with the top sheet.
• The actual length of the paper is detected using the period of time through which the Paper Take-
up Sensor remains energized (or through which the paper moves past the sensor) and it is deter-
mined whether the actual length matches the paper length specified by the controller.
