2.4 LCIFMechanical Drive
Mechanical Drive is a term that is used to describe both the rotation of the LCIF Feeder Motor and the action of
the gears and clutches that are used to transmit and control motor drive to the components throughout the
LCIF. The primary purpose of Mechanical Drive within the LCIF is to provide the mechanical energy needed to
drive a sheet out of an LCIF paper tray and into the printe .
Drive for OPT1 Tray, OPT2 Tray, and OPT3 Tray
The mechanical drive sequence is identical for all of the trays in the LCIF. The Feeder Motor generates the
mechanical drive for the LCIF. The Feeder Gear Assembly transmits the Feeder Motor drive to Idler Gear-1 in
each of the three Tray Drive Assemblies. Idler Gear-1 routes drive to the Feed Solenoid and to Idler Gear-2.
The Feed Solenoid controls drive to the Feed Gear, which in turn transmits drive to the Feed Roll Assembly
and to the Feed Rolls. Idler Gear-2 and Idler Gear-3 transmit drive to the Turn Roll Clutch. The Turn Roll Clutch
controls drive to the Turn Roll Assembly and to the Turn Rolls.
