OutlineThe paper deck (hereafter, “deck”) is capable of accommodating as many as 2500 sheets ofpaper (A4, LTR, B5; 105 g/m2 ) at one time, and is designed to feed paper in response to controlsignals from its host copier’s DC-CPU.The lifter of the deck is driven by the deck lifter motor (M101), and the deck picks up and feedspaper using the drive from the deck pickup motor (PM101).2. Pickup OperationsThe paper set in the deck is lifted by the lifter, and held to a specific pickup position by thelifter.When the Start key is pressed and, as a result, the deck pickup clutch (CL102) turns on, thedrive of the deck pickup motor (PM101) rotates the pickup roller to pick up paper. At this time, thepickup/feed roller and the separation roller make sure that only one sheet of paper is picked up;then, when the deck pickup sensor (PS101) detects the paper, the deck pickup solenoid (SL101)turns on to move the pickup roller away from the surface of the paper.The paper is then moved to the copier’s registration roller and made to arch for removal of anyskew. The registration roller controls the paper so that its leading edge will match the image on thephotosensitive drum.
