MX-CFX1 OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTION 5 – 2
B. Normal paper feed operation of inserter
(online/offline)
[Paper loading]
1) A sheet is placed in the paper feed tray of the inserter.
2) The START LED lights up in blue on the operator panel of the
inserter.
3) An operation command is sent by the main unit, or a user
presses the START switch on the operator panel of the

[Separation]
5) The paper feed motor reverses to lower the pickup roller,
thereby taking in the sheet from the paper feed tray.
6) The registration sensor detects the leading edge of the sheet.
7) The sheet makes contact with the registration rollers to form a
loop, thereby stopping the paper feed motor.
8) The registration clutch is turned OFF.
9)
The paper feed motor starts to rotate in the forward direction.
The registration rollers and vertical transport rollers rotate.
10) The timing sensor detects the leading edge of the sheet.
11) The leading edge of the sheet passes between the vertical
transport rollers.
12) When sheet transport needs to be suspended for adjusting the
space between sheets, the paper feed motor stops to stop the
sheet.
