2.1.4 Paper Loading Mechanism
The paper loading mechanism loads paper at the ASF unit and feeds
paper to the PF rollers. The ASF unit is the same as in previous models. A
4-phase 48-pole PM type stepping motor is used as the ASF/Pump motor
to drive ASF. Drive sent from this motor is transmitted to the ASF side
and Pump side via the disengage mechanism (DE mechanism). See
Figure 2-5 for the ASF/Pump motor specifications.

Drive from the ASF/Pump motor is sent to the ASF unit by the switching
operation of the carriage unit and the DE mechanism described in the
following section.
OPERATING PRINCIPLES
Description
4 Phase/ 48-pole /PM type pulse motor
Bipolar constant current drive
+42V +/- 5% (applied to the driver)
10.4 ohm +/- 10%
15.0 ohm +/- 10%
2.1.4.1 Drive Transmission to the ASF Unit
1) The CR unit moves to the right end of the CR shaft, which then pushes
the DE lock lever to the right end.
2) The ASF/Pump motor rotates counterclockwise specified steps
(viewed from the motor pinion gear side).
3) With the ASF-Pump motor's rotation of step 2), the planetary gear set
in the DE unit shifts toward the combination gear (12, 22.4).
4) The carriage unit moves from the right end of the CR shaft specified
steps, which causes the DE lock lever to fix the planetary gear unit.
5) Torque from the ASF/Pump motor is transmitted as described below.
