LCT-1500 TRAY PAPER FEED/CONVEYANCE SECTION
[4] 1500 Tray Paper Feed/No Paper
Detection Control
The 1st paper feed from the 1500 tray takes place as a result
of the transmission of the rotational force of M140 (LCT paper
feed) by means of CL2 (LCT 1st paper feed (1500)). The paper
feed roller does not touch the paper at this time, so SD140 (LCT
1st paper feed (1500)) swivels, bringing the paper feed roller
into contact with the paper.
The fed paper is conveyed to the paper feed unit by drive force
from M140 which is transmitted to the conveyance roller via
CL3 (LCT conveyance).M140, CL2, CL3 and SD140 are driven
by the CB (control board). Related signals are PS140 (LCT no
paper detection (1500)), PS146 (LCT conveyance (1500)) and
PS200 (LCT pre-try (1500)).
1. Operation
a. 1st paper feed operation timing
(1) Start of paper feed for 1st copy
Timing determined by the P counter from when the
charging corona unit goes ON
(2) Start of paper feed for 2nd copy
Specified period after PS14 (registration) goes ON
during the 1st copy operation
(3) OFF timing
Specified count on the P counter

b. No paper detection control
When there is no more copy paper in the LCT1500, PS140
goes ON, and a message appears on the operation panel.
2. Signals
a. Input signals
(1) PS140 (PS140 → CB)
No paper detection signal from the 1500 tray
[H]: No paper in tray
[L]: Paper in tray
(2) PS146 (PS146 → CB)
Paper passage detection signal from the 1500 tray
conveyance section.
This signal is [L] while paper is passing through the
1500 tray conveyance section.
(3) PS200 (PS200 → CB)
1st paper feed detection signal from the 1500 tray
This signal becomes [L] when paper is detected.
