B. Lifter Operation
1. Operation
When the deck is slid into the pedestal, the deck open/closed sensor (PS38/PS40)
turns on and, at the same time, the pick-up roller moves down and the light-blocking
plate moves away from the deck lifter position sensor (PS31/PS34). This condition turns
on the lifter drive motor (M18/M19), and lets the drive of the pick-up motor (M2) to the
take-up shaft; the lifter then starts to move up.
The lifter stops where the deck lifter position sensor (PS31/PS34) can check the top
surface of the copy paper.
The deck lifter limit sensor (PS37/PS39) is provided in consideration of such cases
as when the lifter fails to stop moving up after the sensor arm has blocked the deck lifter
position sensor (PS31/PS34).
Upon reaching the limit, the lifter is held up by the work of a gear.
When the deck is detached from the copier, the cable take-up gear disengages from
the gear, and the lifter starts to move down on its own weight.
