The pickup/feeding system executes pickup and feeding of papers and is composed of the main motor, solenoid, and rollers.
In this equipment, pickup from the pickup tray and manual feed tray is available. There is only a face-down delivery.
Papers set on the pickup tray and manual feed tray are fed by the same pickup roller. The papers are fed to the photosensitive drum, the transfer charging roller, the
fixing film unit, the pressure roller and then to delivery roller in this order; and then they are delivered to the delivery tray.
The feeding route of papers has three photointerrupters; the paper leading edge sensor (PS801), the fixing delivery sensor (PS701), the paper width sensor (PS702).
They detect arrival and passing of papers.
If a paper does not reach or pass through each sensor within a specified time, the engine controller judges this status as jam and notices the jam occurrence to the
main controller.
