1.Mechanism Paper Feed and Separation The paper feed unit employs an RF system. In a conventional FRR system, double feed of paper is prevented by reverse rotation of the separating roller. However, paper separation of the RF system is assisted by the resistance of a friction roller [A] with a torque limiter (reverse drive is not performed).
1.Mechanism Paper Lift Mechanism When the paper feed tray is set in the machine, the tray set switch (SW2) at the rear of the tray switches ON, and it is detected that the tray is set. The coupling [B] between the shaft [A] at the rear of the tray and the tray lift motor (M2) [C] then engages, the motor rotates, and the tray bottom plate [D] is lifted.

1.Mechanism standby mode. When the tray is removed, the coupling is released, and the tray bottom plate moves down. The lift motor then rotates until the coupling returns to the home position.
1.Mechanism Paper End Detection If there is some paper in the paper tray, the paper stack raises the paper end feeler [A] and the paper end sensor (S2) [B] is deactivated. When the paper tray runs out of paper, the paper end feeler drops into the cutout [C] in the tray bottom plate and the paper end sensor (S2) is activated.
1.Mechanism Paper Size Detection The end fence is interlocked with a size detection actuator in an automatic detection system which recognizes patterns using a 4-position push switch. Size is detected by the detection patterns of switches 1, 2, 3, and 4. Tray set is detected by another switch.

1.Mechanism Size Knob • "0" is switch ON (pushed), "1" is switch OFF. • The sizes indicated with *1 are automatic paper size which can be switched over in SP mode (SP5-180-001 to 003). • If a pattern other than the above is detected, a blank is displayed on the operation panel.
1.Mechanism Side Fences If the tray is full of paper and it is pushed in strongly, the fences may deform or bend. This may cause the paper to skew or the side-to-side registration to be incorrect. To correct this, each side fence has a stopper [A] attached to it.
2.Replacement and Adjustment Double paper feed unit Remove the rear cover [A]. Pick-up Roller This procedure is common to the single paper feed unit and the double paper feed unit. Pull out the paper tray (Paper Tray). Remove the pick-up roller unit [A] ( x 1, bearing x 1).
2.Replacement and Adjustment Remove the pick-up roller [A] ( x 1). Paper Feed Roller This procedure is common to the single paper feed unit and the double paper feed unit. Remove the pick-up roller unit (Pick-up Roller). Remove the paper feed roller [A] ( x 2).
2.Replacement and Adjustment Remove the friction roller bracket [A] ( x 1). Remove the friction roller [A] ( x 1). Vertical Transfer Rollers This procedure is common to the single paper feed unit and the double paper feed unit. Vertical Transfer Roller (Driving Side) Pull out the paper tray (Paper Tray).

2.Replacement and Adjustment Open the right door [A]. Remove the top cover [A] ( x 12). Remove the vertical transfer roller unit [A] ( x 7). Remove the vertical transfer roller cover [A]. • Slide the hooks [C] with the buttons [B] held pressed, and then release the hook [D] to remove the vertical transfer roller cover [A].
Page 24
2.Replacement and Adjustment Do the following: Turn the vertical transfer roller unit [A] upside down. Remove the vertical transfer roller [B] ( x 1). • Slide the vertical transfer roller shaft, and then pull out the vertical transfer roller [B] from the bracket by aligning the pin [C] with the slot [D] in the bracket.

2.Replacement and Adjustment Remove the gear [A] ( x 1). Remove the paper feed clutch (CL1) [A] ( x 1, x 1).
2.Replacement and Adjustment Sensors and Board • Unplug the machine power cord before starting any of the following procedures. Paper End Sensor (S2) This procedure is common to the single paper feed unit and the double paper feed unit. Remove the vertical transfer roller unit (Vertical Transfer Roller (Driving Side)).
2.Replacement and Adjustment Paper Feed Sensor (S1) This procedure is common to the single paper feed unit and the double paper feed unit. Remove the vertical transfer roller unit (Vertical Transfer Roller (Driving Side)). Remove the paper feed sensor (S1) [A] ( x 2, x 1, x 1).
2.Replacement and Adjustment Remove the right door switch bracket [A] ( x 1, x 1, x 1). Remove the right door switch (SW1) [A] ( x 2). Main Board (PCB1) Single paper feed unit Pull out the paper Tray (Paper Tray).
