Drive and Paper End Detection
Paper Feed
The transport/fusing motor [A] controls the paper feed roller [B] and registration roller [C] with the paper
feed clutch [D], registration clutch [E] and gears. (The transport/fusing motor also controls the fusing unit
and paper exit roller.) The paper feed roller feeds a sheet of paper to the registration roller [C].
When the registration sensor [F] detects a sheet of paper, the machine makes a paper buckle at the
registration roller to correct paper skew. After that, the registration clutch turns on, and then the registration
roller transports a sheet of paper to the transfer roller unit.
Paper End Detection
There is a paper end sensor [G] in the tray. The feeler drops into the cutout in the bottom plate and the
actuator interrupts the paper end sensor. This sensor also detects whether the tray is set.
