Composition/Operation
B. Paper feed speed reduction control
• When paper reaches the tray1 (tray2) paper feed sensor, if the interval between the
paper and the preceding paper is short, the take-up motor speed is reduced temporarily
to adjust the paper interval to the proper one.
• When paper reaches the tray1 (tray2) vertical transport sensor, if the interval between
the paper and the preceding paper is short, the tray1 (tray2) vertical transport motor
reduces its speed (in the case of transport speed 216 mm/s or more) or stops (in the
case of transport speed 132 mm/s or less) in order to adjust the paper interval to the
proper one.
• Paper from the Tray1 and Tray2 is transported at the same speed with the system speed.
C. Double feed control
• After the take-up motor is turned ON, if it is not turned OFF (no paper) by the time when
the paper is supposed to be at the paper feed sensor, the machine judges that a double
feed is occurring and reduces the rotation speed of the paper feed roller (take-up motor).
