Manual Feed - Ricoh FT5540 Service Manual

10.6 MANUAL FEED

In manual feed mode, up to 20 sheets (normal weight) can be loaded on the manual feed
table and fed into the copier without a cassette. Manual feed mode uses the rollers of the first
feed station.
When the manual feed table is opened, the manual feed sensor [A] sends a low signal to the
CPU. The CPU then shifts to manual feed mode. The actuator [B] of the first cassette paper
end sensor stays in the same position, but the CPU detects a paper end condition in the
manual feed table and lights the Add Paper indicator.
When paper is inserted into the manual feed table, the manual feed paper end sensor is
actuated. The CPU then turns off the Add Paper indicator.
In manual feed mode, the manual feed solenoid [C] lifts the pick-up roller. This solenoid has a
longer stroke because the pick-up roller must be lifted higher when the manual feed table is
used.
