3.3 Separator & Registration Assembly
3.3.1 Major functions
- CLUTCH TURN (MSI)
Transmits the drive from the MAIN DRIVE ASSEMBLY to the ROLL TURN MSI.
- ROLL TURN MSI
The ROLL TURN MSI is rotated by the drive from the MAIN DRIVE ASSEMBLY through the
CLUTCH TURN (MSI) to feed the paper from the manual feed tray to the CHUTE ASSY REGI(Regi
Roll) (refer to "3.7 Xerographics").
- SENSOR PHOTO (Regi Sensor)
It detects when the paper front end reaches the CHUTE ASSY REGI.
- CLUTCH REGI
CLUTCH REGI transfers the driving power from the MAIN DRIVE ASSEMBLY to ROLL REGI
RUBBER, and transports the paper from the tray, MSI and duplex path toward IMAGING DRUM
direction.
The timing of sheet feed from the Regi Assy is adjusted by the duration of the CLUTCH REGI
operation so that the toner image on the IDT2 can be transferred to the appropriate position on the
sheet.
