6 VERTICAL TRANSPORT SECTION

1. Vertical Transport Drive Mechanism
• The Transport Roller is driven by the Vertical Transport Motor.
• The driving force of the Vertical Transport Motor is transmitted through the belt to the Ver-
tical Transport Roller which feeds the paper from the 3rd Drawer to the copier.
Vertical Transport Roller 2
Vertical Transport Roller 1

Vertical Transport
Motor M21
4425M010AA
2. Vertical Transport Motor Control

• The Vertical Transport Motor, a stepping motor, is driven by the signals from pins 1, 2, 4
and 17 of IC9A on the cabinet’s Master Board which is controlled by the Master Board of
the copier. These signals are applied to two coils of the Vertical Transport Motor.

7 PAPER TAKE-UP/FEEDING SECTION
7-1. Paper Take-Up Mechanism

(1) Paper Take-up Mechanism
• Paper is taken up from the 3rd Drawer and fed to the Vertical Transport Roller.
• The take-up mechanism is driven by 3rd Drawer Paper Take-Up Motor.
• The paper take-up mechanism consists of a Separator Roll with torque limiter, Take-Up
Roll and Feed Roll.
• The Separator Roll is controlled by the torque limiter so that it will not transport more than
one sheet of paper at a time.
• The wider Take-Up Roll assures straight paper transport.

98.06.08
(2) Paper Separating Mechanism

• The paper separating mechanism ensures that only the top sheet of paper is fed in by
separating the second sheet of paper from the top one.
• This is accomplished by the difference in friction coefficient between the Feed and Sepa-
rator Rolls.
Normal Feeding
• When only one sheet of paper is fed, the

friction coefficient on the top side of the
paper is equal to that on the underside.
Driven by the Feed Roll, the paper drives
Feed Roll
the Separator Roll. This causes the paper
to be sent to the Vertical Transport Sec-
Paper
tion.
• The friction coefficient varies for different
Separator Roll ambient conditions and types of paper
4425M107AA
being used, which often causes the Sepa-
rator Roll to be stationary.
Driven or stops
Double Feeding
• Since the coefficient of friction between

the top side of the first sheet of paper and
the Feed Roll is greater than that between
the first and second sheets of paper, the
Feed Roll first sheet of paper is fed into the copier
by the Feed Roll.
1st Sheet of Paper
Since the friction coefficient between the
2nd Sheet of Paper
second sheet of paper and the Separator
Roll is greater than that between the first
4425M108AA
and second sheet of paper, the Separator
Separator Roll Roll is not driven and holds the second
Stops
sheet of paper.
M-6
98.06.08
(3) Paper Pressure Releasing Mechanism

• If the Drawer is pulled out while the paper is between the Feed Roll and the Separator
Roll, the paper is left in the unit. Removal of the paper is difficult.
• The Paper Pressure Releasing Mechanism makes it easier to remove a sheet of paper
that remains between the Feed Roll and Paper Separator Roll by just pressing the Paper
Descent key. When the Paper Descent key is pressed, the main tray is lowered and the
3rd Drawer is pushed forward by approx. 70 mm. At the same time, the pressure release
rail pushes down the Separator Roll, disengaging the Feed Roll from the Separator Roll.

7-2. Paper Take-Up Control

(1) Paper Take-Up Motor Control
• The 3rd Drawer Paper Take-up Motor, a stepping motor, is driven by the signals from pins
1, 2, 4 and 17 of IC8A on the cabinet’s Master Board which is controlled by the Master
Board of the copier. These signals are applied to two coils of the 3rd Drawer Paper Take-
up Motor.
4479T48MCB
(2) Paper Take-Up Retry Control

• If the Paper Take-Up Sensor is not activated (does not go low) because it is not blocked
by the paper within a predetermined time after start of paper take-up, the Drawer Paper
Take-Up Motor is started again.
• A paper misfeed results if a sheet of paper does not reach the Paper Take-Up Sensor
even after three paper take-up sequences.
4479T49MCC
M-8
98.06.08
(3) Paper Take-Up Interval Control (30 cpm Copier Only)

• The Paper Feed Roll and Separator Roll may sometimes fail to separate the subsequent
sheet of paper properly and the leading edge of that paper may be beyond the Feed and
Separator Rolls inside the copier. If the next paper take-up sequence is started in this
condition, the distance between the preceding and the current sheet of paper will
become shorter than normal, resulting in a misfeed.
• To maintain a given paper take-up interval, therefore, this copier provides the following
control. If it takes the paper more than a specified time to block (L) Paper Take-Up Sen-
sor after Paper Take-Up Motor has been energized, Paper Take-Up Motor is temporarily
deenergized and, an appropriate period of time thereafter, it is energized again (paper
take-up interval control).
(4) Double Feed Paper Take-Up Control (30 cpm Copier Only)
• Even if the Paper Take-Up Roll takes up two sheets of paper at one time, the double feed
paper take-up control uses the second sheet of paper for the next copy cycle without
causing a paper misfeed. It eliminates a paper misfeed that would otherwise result when
two sheets of paper are taken up at once.
• If the second sheet of paper is stationary blocking Paper Take-Up Sensor when the trail-
ing edge of the first sheet of paper moves past Vertical Transport Sensor, the copier
determines that it is a double feed condition and provides double feed control.
• If, however, the second sheet of paper has reached the Vertical Transport Roller, the dou-
ble feed control is not provided since the paper is fed further into the copier by the Verti-
cal Transport Roller. This could result in a paper misfeed or the second sheet of paper
being fed through the copier with the first one.

7-4. Main Tray Paper Lift-Up Mechanism

(1) Main Tray Paper Lift-Up Operation
• The Main Tray of the 3rd Drawer is raised and lowered by the Main Tray Elevator Motor
through a gear train, pulleys and 4 wires (at front and rear, two wires each).
1. Main Tray Top Level Position Detection
• The Main Tray is at its top position when 3rd Drawer Paper Lift-Up Sensor is blocked (L).
2. Main Tray Lower Position Detection
• The Main Tray is at its lower limit position when the Lower Position Sensor at the drive
mechanism is blocked (L). Main Tray Lower Position Sensor fitted under the Main Tray
also detects the lower limit position of the Main Tray. It detects a faulty detection of the
Main Tray lower limit when Lower Position Sensor is not blocked.

(2) Paper Top Level Correction

• As the number of sheets on the Tray decreases, the pressure exerted by the Paper Take-
Up Roll decreases. This may cause paper misfeed. To avoid this problem, the Main Tray
is raised to maintain a constant pressure.
During Copying

7-9. Paper Empty Detection

• The reflector-type photosensor on Main Tray Paper Empty Board and 3rd Drawer Paper
Empty Sensor detect a paper empty condition on the Main Tray. Shift Tray Paper Empty
Sensor detects a paper empty condition on the Shift Tray.
• Main Tray Paper Empty Board works when the 3rd Drawer is slid into the Cabinet (when
the Main Tray is at the lower limit position). 3rd Drawer paper Empty Sensor works when
the Main Tray is at the upper limit position.
• When a paper empty condition is detected on the Main Tray during a multi copy cycle, the
paper stack on the Shift Tray, if available, is transferred to the Main Tray to continue the
copy operation.
• If paper is not loaded on the Shift Tray but paper of the same size and direction is loaded
at any other paper feed port when the Main Tray becomes empty, that paper port is auto-
matically selected for the remaining copies.
• If no paper of the same size and direction is available, the paper empty message is dis-
played and the copy cycle stops.

7-10. Paper Level Detection (30 cpm Copier Only)

• The amount of paper still available for use, or the paper level, of the 3rd Drawer is
detected by the Elevator Motor Pulse Sensor located inside the drive base assy and a
pulse disk.
• The pulse disk is mounted on the shaft of the intermediary gear that transmits drive from
the Main Tray Elevator Motor. The speed of the pulse disk varies with different paper lev-
els and the number of pulses detected by the Elevator Motor Pulse Sensor is used to
determine the paper level.
• Counting of the number of pulses is started when the Main Tray Elevator Motor is ener-
gized and continues until the output from the 3rd Drawer Paper Lift-Up Sensor goes
LOW. The total number of pulses is translated into the amount of paper which is shown
on the Touch Panel as a graphic marker in units of paper ass shown below. A paper level
of 500 sheets or more is shown, however, when the Shift Tray Paper Empty Sensor is
activated (paper present).
• As the paper is consumed and each time the Main Tray is raised (the Main Tray Elevator
Motor is energized), the Elevator Motor Pulse Sensor detects pulses and that pulse count
is accumulated. When the count reaches the number of sheets of paper in the units
shown below, the corresponding segment or segments of the paper level indicator on the
Touch Panel go out.

• The Drawer lock mechanism protects the paper transfer mechanism by preventing the
Drawer from being slid out while the Main Tray is being raised or the paper stack is trans-
ferred.
1. When Drawer is Slid Out
Pressing the Paper Descent Key starts lowering the Main Tray.
3rd Drawer Lock Solenoid is energized after Main Tray Lower Position Sensor has
been blocked (L).
Locking pawl is disengaged from the locking shaft, unlatching the Drawer.
The Drawer is pushed out approx. 70 mm by the force of the Drawer Spring.
Pull out the Drawer.
2. When Drawer is Slid in

When the Drawer is slid into the cabinet, it is automatically locked by the locking pawl.
At the same time, 3rd Drawer Set Detecting Plate A blocks 3rd Drawer Set Sensor.
