15-5. Paper Take Up Retry Control • To minimize the occurrence of a paper misfeed, the paper take-up sequence is tempo- rarily halted if the paper fails to reach the Synchronizing Roller Sensor within a given period of time after the sequence has been started. The paper take-up sequence is then performed again.
16. IMAGE TRANSFER AND PAPER SEPARATION SEC- TION Image Transfer • A positive charge is applied to the Image Transfer Roller to transfer the toner image formed on the surface of the PC Drum onto the paper. • The charge applied to the Image Transfer Roller is varied according to the following con- ditions to ensure that image transfer efficiency is stabilized.

INTRODUCTION 1-1. Reading the Text 1. The paper transport failure troubleshooting procedures are given according to the symptom. First identify the location where the paper is present and start the procedure for that particular location. For malfunction troubleshooting, start with step 1 and onward.
PAPER TRANSPORT FAILURE 2-1. Paper Misfeed Detection Outline • A paper misfeed is detected by detecting different states of signals (H, L) of several sen- sors located near the paper take-up section and the Exit Paper Sensor. • The timings of the rising and falling edges of the paper take-up-related sensors and the Exit Paper Sensor are monitored to detect a misfeed of paper being fed through the copier.
