High Capacity Feeder: Loading and Size Sensing
When the HCF tray is pulled out to load paper, the lift gear is separated from the drive gear and
the tray is free to fall to the bottom position. A torque limiter on the lift shaft slows the fall of the
paper tray to prevent damage to feeder components.
Size sensing is determined by the HCF size sensor (A) and the HCF size sensor (B). The
paper tray guides actuate the size sensors, Figure 21 and Table 1.

High Capacity Feeder: Tray Lift Operation
When the HCF tray is pushed in and actuates the HCF tray in sensor, Figure 21, the following
sequence of events occurs, refer to Figure 22:
1. The nudger roll is lowered.
2. The HCF feed/lift motor switches on and rotates CCW to lift the tray through a pulley and
cable arrangement.
3. Lift continues until the paper stack reaches and lifts the nudger roll, deactuating the HCF
level sensor.
4. The HCF feed/lift motor switches off.
High Capacity Feeder: Remaining Paper Calculation
The control logic calculates the amount of paper that remains in the HCF tray by the time it
takes for the paper stack to deactuate the HCF level sensor, Figure 22. The value is then dis
-
played on the UI for operator information. Refer to Table 2 for the time/quantity relationship.
If the HCF is empty, the HCF no paper sensor will actuate, and a Tray Empty message will dis-
play, Figure 22.
