    PAPER FEED 21 July 2006 6.11 PAPER FEED 6.11.1 OVERVIEW B205D936.WMF There are two paper trays, each of which can hold 500 sheets. The paper tray feed stations use a friction pad system. The two relay sensors are used for paper jam detection. The components of the paper feed station are as follows.

    PAPER FEED 21 July 2006 6.11.3 PAPER FEED AND SEPARATION MECHANISM B205D938.WMF The paper feed roller [A] drives the top sheet of paper from the paper tray to the copier. The friction pad [B] allows only one sheet to feed at a time. The friction pad applies pressure to the feed roller with a spring [C].
  • Page 391: Paper Lift Mechanism

    21 July 2006 PAPER FEED 6.11.4 PAPER LIFT MECHANISM B205D940.WMF B205D939.WMF The paper size switch detects when the tray is pushed in. When the paper tray is pushed into the machine, the pin [A] for the lift motor pressure shaft engages the lift motor coupling [B] and the pin [C] for the bottom plate lift shaft in the tray engages the bottom plate pressure lever coupling [D].
  • Page 392 PAPER FEED 21 July 2006 The pressure of the feed roller on the paper is now too high, so the lift motor reverses a certain time (200 ms or 600 ms), depending on the paper size, to reduce this pressure. For smaller paper, it reverses the larger amount (600 ms) to reduce the pressure more.
  • Page 393: Paper End Detection

    21 July 2006 PAPER FEED 6.11.5 PAPER END DETECTION B205D941.WMF If there is some paper in the paper tray, the paper stack raises the paper end feeler [A] and the paper end sensor [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 is activated.
  • Page 394: Paper Height Detection

    PAPER FEED 21 July 2006 6.11.6 PAPER HEIGHT DETECTION B205D942.WMF The amount of paper in the tray is detected by the combination of on/off signals from two paper height sensors [A] and [B]. The paper amount is displayed on the LCD.
  • Page 395 21 July 2006 PAPER FEED When the tray contains paper of a small width, the paper feed pressure may become too low when the thickness of the remaining stack of paper has decreased. The lift motor rotates forward 400 ms after the sensor detects a certain amount of paper remaining in the tray to increase paper feed pressure, simulating the pressure generated by a full tray.
  • Page 396: Feed Pressure Adjustment For Paper Size

    PAPER FEED 21 July 2006 6.11.7 FEED PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT FOR PAPER SIZE Overview For the friction pad system, the pressure from the top of the stack against the feed roller is very important for paper feed quality from the paper tray. If the pressure is high, double feed may occur.
  • Page 397: Feed Pressure Adjustment

    21 July 2006 PAPER FEED Feed Pressure Adjustment The pressure can be adjusted to solve a paper feed problem. This adjusts the amount of lift motor reverse just after the lift sensor is activated when lifting the stack to the paper feed position. To apply less pressure to the top of the stack, the amount of reverse should be increased.
  • Page 398 PAPER FEED 21 July 2006 From paper near end to paper end When paper is used up, the pressure on the bottom plate reduces, so the upward pressure increases, causing the pressure of the feed roller against the top of the stack to increase.
