Sensors 
S1 Paper Feed Sensor  Detects whether the paper is jammed at 
LCT.  11  
S2 Relay 
Detects the copy paper coming to the relay 
roller and checks for misfeeds.  9 
S3 
Paper End 1 
(paper feed side)  Informs the copier/printer when the paper in 
the right side (paper feed side) of the tray 
has been used up. If there is a paper stack 
in the left side (paper storage side), this is 
moved into the paper feed side. If there is 
no paper stack in the left side, paper end is 
indicated.

S4 Lift 
Detects when the paper is at the correct 
paper feed height.  8 
S5-S7 
Paper Height 1, 2,

Detects when the tray is completely 
lowered, to stop the LCT motor.  16 
S9  End Fence HP 
Detects when the left fence is at its home 
position  18 
S10 Side Fence Detects whether the side fence is open or 
closed. (The fence opens
 when the left-tray 
paper stack is moving to the paper feed 
side.)  12

2.2 PAPER FEED 
 
This products uses an FRR  type paper feed mechanism.  
The paper feed unit consists of the pick-up ro ller [A], paper feed roller [B], separation roller 
[C], and relay rollers.  
There is a torque limiter in the back of  the separation roller (ferrite powder type).  
						

							Separation Roller and Pick-Up Roller Release 
B801 16  SM 
2.3  SEPARATION ROLLER AND PICK-UP ROLLER RELEASE 
 
To prevent the paper from being torn when pu lling out the paper feed tray, the separation 
and pick-up rollers release automatically. 
When the paper tray [A] is not inside the machine, the separation roller [B] is away from 
the paper feed roller [C], and the pick-up roller [D] stays in the upper position. 
When the paper tray is set into the machine,  it pushes the release lever [E]. This causes 
the pick-up roller [D] to go down into cont act with the top sheet of paper and the 
separation roller [B] to move up and contact the paper feed roller.  
						

							Tray Lift 
SM 17 B801 
B801 LCIT 
2.4 TRAY LIFT 
 
When the paper feed tray is pushed in the mach ine, the tray switch on the back turns on 
and the tray lift motor [A] starts. The base plate lift shaft [B] is coupled to the lift motor at 
the shaft [C], so the base plate  [D] of the tray is lifted. After a short while, the top of the 
paper stack contacts the pick-up roller and lifts it up. Then the motor st ops lifting the plate 
when the upper limit sensor ac tuator enters the sensor (
Electrical Component 
Layout). 
When paper in the tray is used up, the pick-up roller is gradually lowered, and the actuator 
leaves the lift sensor [E]. When this happens, t he lift motor begins turning again. The tray 
will then be lifted until the actuator  enters the upper limit sensor again). 
When the tray is removed from the copier,  the coupling between the lift motor [A] and base 
plate lift shaft [B] is broken and the base plate goes into a controlled free fall (using a 
damper to slow the fall and prevent damage).
