2.4 ORIGINAL DRIVE MECHANISM

2.4.1 SCANNING MOTOR, ROLLERS



The scanner motor (1) (a stepper motor) and timing belt (2) drive the original

entrance roller (3) and original exit roller (4).



The original set sensor (5) turns the motor on when the original is set.



The original exit sensor (6) switches the motor off when the sensor detects the

trailing edge of the original.
