CHAPTER 3 THEORY OF OPERATION

2.2 Scanner Mechanism
Fig. 3-20
2.2.1 Document feeding and ejecting mechanism
This mechanism consists of the ADF document support, automatic document feeder (ADF),
document ejection roller ASSY, and document sensors. (For details about the sensors, refer to
Section 2.4.)
If you set documents on the ADF document support with their faces down and start scanning
operation, then the scanner motor rotates so that the ADF (which consists of the document
take-in roller ASSY, nip-related parts, separation roller ASSY, and ADF parts) feeds those
documents into the equipment, starting from the bottom sheet (first page) to the top (last
page), page by page. Each document advances with the document feed roller ASSY to the
scanner, and then it is fed out of the equipment with the document ejection roller ASSY.
2.2.2 Scanner
The scanner uses a contact image sensor (CIS) unit which consists of an LED array
illuminating documents, a self-focus lens array collecting the reflected light, a CIS PCB
carrying out photoelectric conversion to output picture element data, and a cover glass on
which a document advance. When the document passes between the document pressure bar
and the cover glass, it is scanned.
