2.2.3.2 Drive Process
1.
Drive of the PF motor is transmitted to the paper eject roller and the PF roller via
the PF timing belt, however, it is not transmitted to the LD roller and the retard
roller owing to the clutch of the holder shaft unit.
2.
The carriage unit moves to the ASF trigger position once the paper loading
command is received.
3.
PF motor is rotated counter clockwise, and the clutch is released by the change
lever.
4.
After the clutch is released, the PF motor rotates clockwise. Drive is transmitted to
the LD roller and the paper loading operation begins.
5.
During paper loading operation, papers are fed from the ASF unit to inside the
printer by the rotating movement of the two cams of the LD roller.
Cam, large: releases hopper
Cam, small:releases paper back lever
6.
Once a sheet of paper is fed, the hopper and the paper back lever bring back rest of
the papers to the position in readiness by the rotating movement of the two cams
mentioned above.
7.
When the LD roller is turned a full circle, the change lever release the clutch and
the drive to the LD roller is interfered.
