II. LENS DRIVE SYSTEM
A. Movement of the Lens
1. Outline of the Movement
The copier uses center reference, in which copy paper is picked up and fed in
relation to the center of the feeding paths and originals are placed in relation to the rear
of the machine (when using the copyboard cover). As such, the lens is moved in Y
(vertical) direction even in Direct mode to suit the width of copy paper.

The RDF installed to the machine uses center reference; when the size of the
original and the size of the copy paper are identical in Direct mode, the lens is not moved
in Y (vertical) direction (Figure 3-202).
If the size of the original and the size of the paper are different, on the other hand,
or in Reduce/Enlarge mode, the lens is moved in Y (vertical) direction so that the image
on the copy paper will be correct.
