Pickup and feed system
The pickup/feed system, which picks up and feeds paper, consists of the various feed rollers. This
printer has two pickup sources: the cassette and the manual feed slot, and one delivery source: the
face-down tray. The following components are part of the pickup and feed system:
■ Manual feed slot paper sensor (SR3): detects the presence of paper in the manual feed slot
■ Cassette paper sensor (SR2): detects the presence of paper in the cassette
■ DC controller controls the following to drive each feed roller:
■ Main motor (M1)
■ Fuser/delivery motor (M2)
■ Pickup motor (M3)
■ Solenoid (SL1)
■ Solenoid (SL2)
■ Solenoid (SL3)
■ Photo sensors:
■ SR1, SR4, and SR5 on the paper transport path detect the arrival and passage of paper
■ SR9 detects the fuser pressure roller alienation in the fuser
■ SR8 detects the paper width
The figure below illustrates the motors, solenoids, and sensors.
NOTE There is a short pause before the paper is picked up.
