Operating Principles Overview 40
The Paper return plate is set to return the paper to the paper stand-by position in the
ASF unit when the ASF unit is in the standby mode. When the paper is fed with the
LD roller, the Paper return plate is stored in the ASF frame by the LD roller.
Following figures show you the ASF paper loading sequence and the operation of the
each mechanism.
Figure 2-13. ASF Paper Loading Sequence
When the paper is advanced with
the ASF unit, Change lever push
down the Clutch lever as right
figure and the Clutch lock tooth is
disengaged from the Clutch gear.
As the result, the drive from the
ASF motor is interrupted and the
LD roller dose not rotate.
This position is the ASF home
position.
The Paper return plate is set to
avoid that the paper is slipped
down from the paper set position.
When the ASF motor is rotated CCW
direction, the Change lever moves to the
printer front side with the CCW rotation
of the ASF motor pinion gear and
releases the Clutch lever. As the result,
the Clutch turns back to the engagement
position by the tension force of the
Tension spring 0.143.
And the Clutch lock tooth is OK with
the Clutch gear to transmit the ASF
motor drive as right figure.
The ASF motor pinion gear rotates
CW direction and the drive from the
ASF motor is transmitted to the ASF
LD roller shaft through the Clutch
lock tooth and the Clutch gear.
The ASF hopper release lever rotates
with the ASF LD roller and release
the ASF Hopper. The ASF hopper is
pushed with the Compression spring
4.80 and the paper is picked up with
the ASF LD roller.
The ASF LD roller rotates CW direction
moreover and the Paper return plate is
stored under the ASF frame.
The paper is advanced up to the PF roller
