Chapter 22-42.3 Document Detection2.3.1 Outline 0010-3898This machine detects an document using either one of the two methods depending on the print mode.- Normal print mode (other than mixed size print mode and banner paper mode)- Mixed size print mode and banner paper modea. Normal print mode (other than mixed size print mode and banner paper mode)In the normal print mode, the following four document detection functions are used:T-2-3b. Mixed size print mode and banner paper modeIn the mixed size print mode and banner paper mode, the following three document detection functions are used:T-2-42.3.2 Document Presence/Absence Detection 0010-3899The Document set sensor (PI11) detects presence/absence of a document on the document tray.When a document is placed on the document tray, the detection lever moves the light shielding plate to allow light to pass thorough the photo interrupter. Thus, theDocument set sensor (PI11) generates an document detection signal (EMPTY) to notify the host machine that an document is placed on the document tray via theADF drive PCB.F-2-62.3.3 Detection of Last Document 0010-3900The last document detection sensor (PI3) and Document set sensor (PI11) detect whether the document being picked up is the last one.When the trailing edge of the last document has moved past the last document detection lever, the detection lever moves the light shielding plate to allow light passthrough the photo interrupter. Thus, the last document detection sensor (PI3) generates a last document detection signal (LAST). When the last document has movedpast the document sensor (PI11), an document absence signal (EMPTY) is generated to notify the host machine that an document being picked up is the last onevia the ADF drive PCB.Function Description Sensor used (symbol)Document presence/absence detectionDetects whether there is an document on thedocument pickup tray.Document set sensor (PI11)Last document detection Detects whether the document being picked up isthe last one.Last document detection sensor(PI3)Initial document sizedetection- Longitudinal direction Detects the length of the document placed on thedocument pickup tray.Document length sensor 1/2 (PI4/PI5)- Lateral direction Detects the width of the document placed on thedocument pickup tray.Document width sensor 1/2 (PI2/PI1)Function Description Sensor used (symbol)Document presence/absence detectionDetects whether there is a documenton the document pickup tray.Document set sensor (PI11)Last document detection Detects whether the document beingpicked up is the last one.Last document detection sensor (PI3)Document length detection Detects the document lengthaccording to the distance from theposition where the read sensor (PI7)turns on to the position where the readsensor (I7) turns off.Read sensor (PI7)ADF driver PCBDocumentDetection leverPI11EMPTY
