PAPER FEED UNIT
*1: Swivel roller
The paper feed direction and the cassette loading direction are at right angles to each other. Consequently, if the feed roller is fixed, it will touch the paper when the cassette is removed, resulting in possible paper jamming. To prevent this, the swivel roller (paper feed roller) is designed so that it drops down and touches the paper only when paper feed is taking place.
*3: Paper up-down base release operation
When the tray is being removed, the projection on the right side of the tray strikes the paper up-down base release lever, causing the paper lift-up gear to be disengaged by the gear coupling lever. As a result, the up-down base falls under its own weight.

*2: Paper lift-up
When the paper feed tray is installed, the paper lift-up plate is moved by the tray motor, paper feed idler gear and the paper lift-up gear, causing the paper in the tray to be fed automatically to the paper feed position.
*4: Paper size detection
The side guide and rear guide of the upper tray move, causing the paper size detection knob to move as well. As a result, the switch on the detection board is turned ON/ OFF. In this way, paper size detection takes place automatically.

The 1st paper feed takes place as a result of the transmission of drive force from M13 (paper feed) via MC5 (1st paper feed (upper)), MC6 (1st paper feed (lower)) and MC7 (by-pass paper feed) to the respective paper feed rollers. At this time, the paper feed rollers are not touching the paper, hence the swivel roller and the by-pass plate are moved up and down by SD1 (1st paper feed (upper), SD2 (1st paper feed (lower)) and SD3 (by-pass paper feed), causing each roller to touch the paper. Control of each roller is done by the CB (control board). The 2nd paper feed is done by MC3. Related signals are PS11 (conveyance door), PS14 (registration), PS18 (no feed), PS19 (optics sync), PS20 (pre-feed (upper)), PS21 (pre-feed (lower)) and PS30 (by-pass).
1. Operation
a. 1st paper feed operation timing (1) 1st copy start Timing that is determined by the P counter from when the charging corona unit goes ON (2) 2nd copy start After the specified period from when PS14 (registration) goes ON for the 1st copy (3) OFF timing Specified count on the P counter b. Intermediate conveyance control The paper fed from the upper and lower trays is conveyed by the rotational power of M13 to the 2nd paper feed section by MC8 (conveyance). This conveyance section is also used for feeding paper from the ADU and LCT. However, it not used for by-pass paper feed. (1) MC8 ON timing When PS20 or PS21 is ON (2) MC8 OFF timing After the specified period from when PS20 or PS21 goes OFF.

c. 2nd paper feed control The paper conveyed to the 2nd paper feed section stops after the specified period from when PS14 goes ON (loop formation). (1) MC3 ON timing 1) Direct exposure scan copying (When superfine mode is selected) (1st copy in either normal or fine mode with platem mode or RADF(1-1)mode.) After the specified period from when PS4 (paper feed restart) goes ON 2) Copying in the E-RDH mode (2nd and subsequent copies in either normal or fine mode with platen mode or RADF(1-1)) (All copies in RADF(1-2,2-1,2-2)mode) After the specified period from when PS18 goes ON, or after the specified period from when MC7 (by-pass paper feed) goes ON
During continuous paper feed from the LCT/ADU, the CB checks the state of PS18 (no feed) when the paper reaches the specified position past PS19, and if the previous sheet of paper is still at PS18, the CB temporarily stops paper feed. Paper feed restarts after the trailing edge of the previously fed paper has passed PS18 (no feed). (7) M13 FB (M13 DCDB) This is a feedback signal from the rotational speed sensor contained in M13. This signal is compared with the M13 CLK signal input from the CB, and the difference used to control the rotational speed of M13. b.

a. Input signals (1) PS11 (PS11 CB) Conveyance door open/close detection signal [L]: Door is closed [H]: Door is open (2) PS18 (PS18 CB) When the tray, LCT or ADU is used, the image data from the E-RDH determines the laser write timing. Laser write starts after the specified period from when PS18 goes ON. Also, during LCT or ADU paper feed, when the paper turns PS19 (optics sync) ON, the CB checks the ON or OFF state of PS18, and if PS18 was turned ON by the previous sheet of paper, the CB stops the paper momentarily at the predetermined position after PS19 ON.

The LCT can hold a large amount of paper, hence it has a remaining paper indicator window to enable the user to obtain a rough indication of the amount of paper remaining in the tray. The remaining paper detection lever moves along with the up-down motion of the tray, and the index sheet is caused to slide by a tension spring.
*1: Paper lift-up
The paper tray is suspended by four up-down drive wires (wires A and B -- two each). When paper is supplied to the tray, the tray drops under the weight of the paper, however the weight of the paper is balanced by the tension of the auxiliary drive spring. When the paper tray is loaded, the tray motor (M141, M142) rotates, and the wire is wound up on the drive reel, causing the tray to rise. When the paper tray is withdrawn from the pedestal, the coupling between the tray and the tray drive section is released, hence the tray falls to a position where the weight of the paper is balanced by the tension of the auxiliary drive spring.

The tray rises as a result of the transmission of the rotational force of M141 (tray (1500)) and M142 (tray (1000)) by means of the drive wires (four wires each). M141 and M142 are driven by the DCDB (DC driver board) which is controlled by the CB (control board). Related signals are MS141 (LCT interlock (1500)), MS142 (LCT interlock (1000)), PS142 (LCT upper limit detection (1500)), PS143 (LCT upper limit detection (1000)), and PS160 (LCT conveyance open/close detection).
1. Operation
When MS141 or MS142 detects a paper tray, M141 or M142 goes ON, causing the corresponding tray to rise. The tray rises until PS142 or PS143 detects the upper limit of the paper and goes ON, then M141 or M142 goes OFF, and the tray stops rising. The paper is fed until PS142 or PS143 goes OFF, then M414 or M142 goes ON once again, and the tray rises. The lowering operation of both the 1500 tray and 1000 tray takes place mechanically.

(2) Re-install the paper feed/conveyance section in the opposite sequence to removal. In this case, however, install the front left and right set screws first.
The paper feed and reversal operations take place as a result of the transmission of rotational force from M151 (ADU paper feed) to the conveyance roller and the reversal roller by means of CL151 (ADU paper feed) and CL152 (ADU reversal). M151, CL151 and CL152 are driven by the DCDB (DC drive board) which is controlled by the CB (control board). Related signals are PS151 (ADU no paper detection), PS152 (ADU paper feed),PS153 (ADU reversal detection) and PS157(ADU gate).
1. Operation
a. Paper feed control M151 goes ON in synchronism with M1 (main). When PS152 detects the leading edge of the paper conveyed from the ADU paper exit/conveyance section, CL151 goes ON, causing the rotational force of M151 to be transmitted to the conveyance roller. As a result, paper is fed to the stacker from the bottom of the selector gate. CL151 goes OFF after the specified time from when PS152 detects the trailing edge of the paper. For the second sheet of paper, CL151 goes ON again after the specified time from when CL152 is turned OFF by the passage of the 1st sheet. The same operation is repeated for the subsequent sheets as well. M151 goes OFF 80 ms after PS19 (optics sync) goes OFF when the series of control operations in the ADU is completed.

ADU PAPER FEED/CONVEYANCE SECTION
b. Reversal control When CL151 goes OFF, CL152 goes ON after the specified time, and the rotational force of M151 is transmitted to the reversal roller. As a result, the paper in the ADU paper feed section is reversed and conveyed, then exited to the conveyance section. CL152 is turned OFF after the specified time from when PS153 goes OFF as a result of detecting the trailing edge of the paper.

Conveyance takes place as a result of the transmission of rotational force from M151 (ADU paper feed) by means of the CL153 (ADU timing). M151 and CL153 are driven by the DCDB (DC driver board) which is controlled by the CB (control board). Related signals are PS154 (ADU paper exit 1), PS155 (ADU paper exit 2) and PS156 (ADU paper exit 3).
1. Operation
CL153 goes ON in synchronism with M1 (main), and conveys the reversed paper from the stacker to the main body paper feed unit. If the PS18 (no feed) is ON when PS19 (optical synchronizing) is turned ON, CL153 goes OFF for a moment until PS18 is turned OFF. When PS18 is turned OFF CL153 goes ON again and when PS14 (resistration) is turned OFF by final paper, CL153 goes OFF.
