CHAPTER 7 PICK-UP/FEEDING SYSTEM
4. Detecting the Point of Horizontal Registration
a. Outline
Paper is picked up from the lower feeding assembly without positioning it in the rear/front
direction, requiring detection of displacement while it is being moved. To this end, paper is
checked for horizontal registration when it is moved from the lower feeding assembly.
The rear/front registration detection mechanism is located near the vertical path roller
assembly, and consists of a horizontal registration sensor (PS10) and a horizontal
registration shift motor (M9).
The horizontal registration sensor shift motor (M9) is used to move the horizontal
resignation sensor (PS10), and it detects the edge of paper for synchronization with the
point of laser exposure.
