1.

Outline

The side paper deck (hereafter, "deck") is capable of holding as many as 3,500 sheets of paper
(A4/LTR/B5 of 80 g/m
controller.
The lifter of the deck is driven by the deck lifter motor (M102), and paper is picked up and
moved by the drive of the deck main motor (M101).
2.

Pickup Operation

The paper set in the deck is held up by the lifter, and is kept at a specific position.
When the Copy Start key is pressed and the deck pickup clunch (CL102) turns on, the drive of
the deck main motor (M101) rotates the pickup roller to start pickup operation. At this time, the
pickup/feeding roller and the separation roller serve to make sure that only one sheet of paper is
picked up.
Then, when the deck pickup sensor (PS101) detects paper, the deck pickup roller releasing
solenoid (SL101) turns on so that the pickup roller leaves the surface of paper.
The deck feeding roller starts to rotate when the deck feeding clutch (CL101) turns on. Then,
the paper that has been picked up is moved to the copier's registration roller, and is made to arch so
as to remove the skew.
The registration roller controls the paper so that its leading edge and the leading edge of the
image on the photosensitive drum match.
