1. Description
Feeding of the paper is performed by the paper separator (employing the center separation method) and paper
feed roller (there is no corner finger). Elevation of the feed tray is powered by the elevator motor.The paper
lead edge sensor is equipped at the rear of the paper feed roller. When the paper does not reach the paper lead
edge sensor or the signal sensor during the preliminary feeding, “PAPER JAM ON THE LEFT SIDE” appears.
Paper fed by the paper separator and paper feed roller is fed further by the timing roller and guide roller to
the point where its leading edge is sandwiched between the drum and the press roller. Then the pression of
the timing roller and guide roller is released (by moving the guide roller upward several mm), so that the
paper is fed through at a speed equal to the circumferential speed of the drum and press roller. The press
roller sensor senses the paper feed condition; if a feed error occurs, the message “PAPER JAM ON THE
FEEDER SIDE” is
displayed.
For details, see “1.Paper Jam Detection Timing” in chapter 2 (n Paper ejection section).
