When the motor rotates, clock pulses (MMCLK} in numbers corresponding to the revolution of the motor ara issued. Using the clock pulses, the speed contol creuit controls the speed of the motor. "The clock pulses are Irequency-dvided by four, the resutt of which is sent to the DC controlier PCB as clock pulses (CLKP) for ‘sequence control ‘As described in Table 3-1, the motor rotates at three different speeds. The DC controller PCB generates the main motor ‘speed control signals (MMSCO, MMSC1); the high-speed reference signal and medium ‘speed reference signal are switched over by a ‘Switching circu, The clock pulses generated by the motor are also sent fo the Switching reul, which in turn sends reference signals. and clack pulses to the spoed control circu; the speed of the motor is controled based on these two signals. ‘Se Tablo 3-1 for tho relationship between the motor speed and main motor ‘speed control signals. a cori coon. 2. vumsco lmmsct | Copir | +1 [Bung a copy vn | wen Feprodctn ato 1 20% oF moe fs © burg a csp on |fepreducon cao |e a9% orto eects the rotations 70% of that at igh speed, + [Dufng mana paper pokao; he fotation 25% of | hat thigh speed, Mechanism Motor at Rest When MMSCO and MMSCI are both ‘0! the ON/OFF switching citcult goes ON, causing the speed cantral elveult and drive circuit to go OFF.

This condition causes the dive circuit to go ON and the main motor torolate. When the motor has started to rotate, clock pulses (MMCLK) in numbers corresponding to the revolution af the motor are sent to the speed ‘contro circuit. “In response, the speed ‘contol circuit compares the two signals it receives: It hen sends the contol signal to the drive circuit to Keep the motor ‘speed constant. 3.

The movement of paper is checked by the microprocessor aécording to instructions slored in advance with reference to the signals generated by the sensors: and when a Jam is identied, the copying oporation Is stopped immediately, ‘As s00n as the copier stops operation, it indicates the JAM messago on its display and, atthe same time, it ngieates the location Of the jarn on the jam indicator. The microprocessor identifies jams in response tothe ‘olowing conditions: 1.
