Bypass Feed Slot
When a sheet of paper is placed in the bypass feed slot, the bypass feed sen-
sor [A] is turned on. The machine turns the paper feed motor counter-
clockwise to prefeed the paper until the registration sensor is turned on, or for
1 second, whichever is first. (See section 2-2-8 for a diagram of the registra-
tion sensor.)
When the paper feed motor turns counter-clockwise, the projection [B] disen-
gages the gear [C] inside the clutch gear box assembly as shown in the
diagram. This prevents any drive from being transmitted to the paper feed roll-
ers for the standard cassette.
If a sheet of paper remains in the bypass feed slot for longer than the Auto
Reset Time (System Switch 0B), the machine will automatically feed it out.
The machine will not print incoming fax messages while there is a sheet of pa-
per in the bypass feed slot, so feeding out the page after the Auto Reset time
allows incoming faxes to be printed even if someone leaves paper in the by-
pass feed slot.
Sheets of paper longer than about 600 mm cannot be fed from the bypass
feed slot, or a paper jam will occur (error code 9-81).
Note that the bypass feed slot can be used only for copying and for printing
from the PC using the optional printer interface.
