(1) Cut sheet and continuous sheet switching mechanism (See Figure 2-8.)
Three different paper paths can be selected and set by the change lever.
(a) TOP (for cut sheets)
When the cut sheet paper is used in the manual mode or fed by the CSF (option),
set the change lever at the position marked TOP.
Operation
The driving force of the platen gear (R) is transmitted to the idle gear by setting the
change lever to the TOP position. However, this causes the idle gear to be disengaged
from the change gear, leaving it free.
At this time, the pressure rollers (at the rear and the front) are pressed securely to
the platen to feed the sheet. At the same time, he cut sheet detection lever turns
on the cut sheet detection switch, to confirm to the control board that you are in the
cut sheet mode.
In the cut sheet mode, the control board automatically feeds the sheet up to the print
start position after pausing for the wait time stored in the menu.
(b) REAR (Continuous sheet from push tractor)
When the change lever is set to REAR position, the change gear is engaged with
the idle gear and the tractor gear to transmit the rotation of the platen to the push
tractor shaft, and the paper is fed from the push tractor.
At the same time, the switch lever turns on the rear switch, to inform the control board
that you are in the continuous sheet mode.
