The LCIT employs the air-assist pickup, similarly to the paper feed units of offset printers.
In addition to paper riffling by the air-assist from both sides of the paper, the upper surface of the paper
is suctioned by air one sheet at a time, achieving smoother paper delivery of coated paper and art
paper, which tend to stick together, reducing double-feeding and paper misfeeds, and achieving
excellent paper delivery.
Functions of each of the fans are as follows:
• Updraft fan: Blows air to the leading edge to float up the sheet.
• Separation fan: Blows air in between the top most and second sheet for separation.
• Side fan: Blows air from the right/left sides to fan the paper.
• Vacuum fan: Sucks air to adhere the sheet to the suction belt for feeding.
• Return fan: Sucks the leading edge of the second sheet to separate the paper sheets.
Each fan level is made adjustable to prevent non-feeds and double-feeds in 1301: [Main/2-Tray LCIT:
Paper Feed Mode].
