2. PAPER FEED MECHANISM
2-1. Outline of Paper Feed Mechanism
(1) Press the start button to operate the machine. With the paper feed tray’s up and down mechanism, the paper on
the paper feed tray rises up to the position detected by the level sensor.
(2) Then the paper feed tray goes down to a certain position and stops.
(3) The paper separator DC fan starts to separate the paper and have the paper surfaced.
(4) If the top surfaced sheet of paper is not at the position where the actuator is pressed, the paper feed tray rises up
to the position where the top surfaced sheet can be detected by the level sensor and stops.
(5) The suction DC fan starts operation and the top surfaced sheet of paper is sucked into the suction belt.
(6) The electromagnetic clutch attached to the end of the conveyance shaft starts to rotate the conveyance shaft and
at the same time the suction belt starts to feed the paper.
In case that, in addition to the topmost sheet of paper, the top second sheet is almost fed, the separator works to
keep the second sheet left at the right position so that only the topmost sheet of paper is fed.
Remark : The ON time of the electromagnetic clutch can be changed on the control panel. It is currently set as follows.
