No. Component Function
2 Paper transport fan
The large fan mounted below the perforated platen plates.
This fan creates the suction that holds the paper on the paper
path.
3 Front Cover Switch: Right
One of two safety switches that disable the machine when the
front cover is opened.
4 Cutter HP Switch
Detects when the cutter has arrived at the home position on
the right and switches the cutter motor off.
5 Exit Sensor
Located at the paper exit of the main machine, detects the
leading and trailing edges of the paper. Signals an error if
the paper fails to arrive or leave the sensor location within the
prescribed time.
6 Paper Exit Guide Switch
Detects when the exit guide plate on the front of the machine
is opened and closed.
7 Front Cover Switch: Left
One of two safety switches that disable the machine when the
front cover is opened.
8 Cutter Return Switch
Detects when the cutter has arrived at the left side of the
machine after cutting. Reverses the cutter motor, which moves
the cutter back to the home position on the right side of the
machine.
9 Cutter Motor
Drives the cutter to the left and right across the paper path
when cutting paper. The cutter cuts as it moves from right to
left. When the cutter reaches the left side, the cutter return
sensor reverses the motor. A guide lever falls into a lower
track that lowers the cutter so that it passes under the paper
on its return to the home position on the right.

Vertical Encoder HP
Sensor
Mounted opposite and lower than the vertical encoder sensor
on the left side of the machine, this sensor also reads the code
on the rim of the vertical encoder wheel, and detects when
the wheel reaches the home position and switches off the
vertical motor. This sets the encoder wheel at the start position
for every job.
