1. Outline
The two Flappers mounted at the Paper Inlet are operated to configure the feed path according to the
paper size.
The Flappers are used to enable the following:
a) To detect the passage of the trailing edge of the paper being detected by an appropriate Sensor.
b) To prevent the following sheet from butting against the top of the existing stack Table. 3-001 shows
the relationship between Sensors and paper sizes.
Table. 3-001
Each Flapper is driven by its own solenoid.
Table. 3-002 shows the relationship between solenoids and paper sizes.
