Basic Operation

2.2 BASIC OPERATION

2.2.1 PICK-UP AND SEPARATION

The ARDF uses an FRR (feed & reverse roller) system.
Setting paper moves the feeler, causing the original set sensor to inform the
CPU that the ARDF is ready to feed.
Press  → short time lag → DF feed clutch engages → DF motor starts.
The motor drives the DF pickup roller, DF feed roller, DF separation roller, and
transport roller. The pickup roller drives the top sheet(s) between the feed and
separation roller, where the top sheet is separated and fed to the transport rollers.

2.2.2 CLUTCH OPERATION

The DF feed clutch is provided to stop feeding when the original is fed to the inverter tray in
double-sided mode. If the DF feed clutch does not stop the pick-up, feed and separation
rollers in double-sided mode, the next original is fed while the first original is at the inverter
tray and an original jam occurs.

2.2.3 ORIGINAL TRANSPORT AND EXIT

Single-Sided Originals

The feed motor feeds the separated original to the registration roller [A]. A short time after
an original reaches the registration sensor [B], the DF feed motor stops briefly, the scanner
moves to DF scan position, and the white peak is read. The DF feed motor and DF
transport motor then start and the sheet is scanned.
After scanning, the original is fed out by the exit roller [C].

B872 12 SM
 Basic Operation

Double-Sided Originals

ARDF
B872
After an original has been fed to the registration sensor [B] by the transport roller, the DF
feed motor stops briefly. After the scanner has moved to DF scan position, and the white
peak has been read, the front side of the original is then scanned.
When the exit sensor [C] detects the leading edge of the original, the junction gate solenoid
is activated and the junction gate [E] opens. The original is then transported towards the
inverter table.
Soon after the trailing edge of the original passes the exit sensor, the junction gate solenoid
switches off and the junction gate [E] is closed. When the original has been fed onto the
inverter table, the feed and transport motors stop. After that, the feed motor rotates in
reverse and the original is fed to the exit roller [D] by the inverter roller [F]. At this time, the
feed motor stops briefly to adjust the original skew.
After adjusting the original skew, the original is fed again by the exit roller [D] and
registration roller [B] to the scanning area (where the reverse side will be scanned).

SM 13 B872
Basic Operation

The original is then sent to the inverter table again to be turned over. This is done so that
the duplex copies will be properly stacked front side down in the exit tray [G] in the correct
order.

Original Set Sensor

During one-to-one copying, copy paper is fed to the registration roller in advance (while the
original is still being scanned), to increase the copy speed. The original set sensor monitors
the stack of originals in the original tray, and detects when the trailing edge of the last page
has been fed in. The main CPU then stops the copier from feeding an unwanted extra
sheet of copy paper.
