Theory of Operation
1100-Sheet Feeder Assemblies
The 1100-Sheet Feeder forms a base for the printer and adds two, 550-sheet,
universal trays. Control signals reach the sheet feeder by a single connection.
The sheet feeder is secured to the print engine with four screws located under
Tray 2 .
Major functional components of the optional 1100-Sheet Feeder are
described below.
■ No Paper Sensor
Detects presence or absence of print media in the tray based on the
position of the Actuator.
■ Feed Rollers
When the Feed Solenoid energizes, the Spring Feed force engages the
Gear Feed and the Gear Idler Feed to turn and feed the paper from the
paper tray. This activates the Paper Pick Assembly. After completion of
one turn, determined by a cutout in the Gear Feed, the Gear Feed and the
Gear Idler Feed are disengaged stopping the paper Retard Roller. This
allows one sheet to be fed at a time.
■ Tur n C l u tc h
Transfers the drive energy from the main drive assembly to the roll turn
assembly.
■ Paper Size Switch
Detects print media size and installation of the paper tray.
■ Feed Solenoid
Controls the operation (rotation/stop) of the Feed Roller Assembly by
controlling the rotations of the Gear Feed.
■ Tur n R o ll er
The Turn Roller receives drive energy from the Drive Assembly through
the Turn Clutch and transports the print media out of the paper tray to the
printer’s Registration Rollers.
