B. Pick-Up
1. Outline
The side paper deck ("deck," hereafter) is capable of holding 3500 sheets of copy paper (A4/
LTR/B; 80 g/m
2
), and is driven by control signals from the copier's DC-CPU.
The lifter of the deck is driven by the deck lifer motor (M102), and copy paper is picked up and
moved by the deck main motor (M101).
2. Pick-Up Operation
The copy paper set in the deck is moved up by the lifter, and is held at a specific pick-up
position.
When the Copy Start key is pressed and the deck pick-up clutch (CL102) turns on, the drive of
the deck main motor (M101) rotates the pick-up roller to pick up copy paper. At this time, the pick-
up/feeding roller and the separation roller serve to make sure that only one sheet of copy paper is
picked up. When the deck pick-up sensor (PS101) detects copy paper, the deck pick-up roller
releasing solenoid (SL101) turns on to move the pick-up roller away from the surface of copy
paper.
The deck feeding roller starts to rotate when the deck feeding clutch (CL101) turns on. After
pick-up, the copy paper is moved to the copier's registration roller, and is made to arch for
removing the skew.
The registration roller controls the copy paper so that its leading edge will match the image on
the photosensitive drum.
