  • Page 20: Paper Detection Control

    2. Technical Explanation Cassette Paper Sensor Cassette Paper Surface Sensor Paper Paper Cassette Paper Level Sensor Paper Detection Control Paper is detected by the Cassette 2 Size Detection Switch, Cassette 2 Lifter Sensor and Cassette 2 Paper Level Sensor. The absence of paper is notified when the Cassette 2 Paper Level Sensor is turned ON at the time the Cassette 2 Size Detection Switch is turned ON (it is detected that the cassette is in the host machine) and the Cassette 2 Lifter Sensor is turned OFF (the Lifter Plate is raised to the pickup position).

  • Page 21: Lifter Control

    2. Technical Explanation Lifter Control When the cassette is set, the Cassette 2 Lifter Motor rotates to raise the Lifter Plate. Then, the paper is raised to the position to be picked up. Registration Control It is a control to align the image on the ITB with the paper at a specified timing. Based on the leading edge detection by the Pre-Registration Sensor, the following 2 controls are used: •...

  • Page 22: Size Mismatch Detection Control

    2. Technical Explanation Image Registration PS04 Roller Cassette 2 Size Mismatch Detection Control Whether the size is mismatched is determined by paper length. The time a sheet of paper passes through the Pre-Registration Sensor is converted into distance. Then, the calculated distance and the paper size detected by the Cassette 2 Size Detection Switch are compared.
