Paper Feed - Ricoh B230 Service Manual

Detailed Section Descriptions

2.2.2 PAPER FEED

When a sheet of paper is fed, it is transported through the 500-sheet finisher as shown in
these drawings.
To feed paper straight through the finisher, the pick-up roller [A] stays up.
To send the paper to the jogger tray [B], when the trailing edge is almost out of the finisher,
the pick-up roller moves down until the reverse/exit roller in the pick-up roller pushes the
paper against the paddle roller [C]. The reverse/exit roller feeds the paper to the jogger
tray.
The pick-up roller is lifted up and down by the pick-up roller contact motor.
The pick-up roller feeds the paper out after stapling, sorting, or stacking.
The reverse/exit motor controls the reverse/exit motor. The other rollers do not change
direction, and are controlled by the paper transport motor.
