Additionally, the top & end of the paper is detected with the HP/PE/IC sensor.
In case the PE sensor dose not detect the paper in the paper loading sequence, the
printer detects the “Paper out error”. If the paper is detected after complete the paper
eject sequence, the printer detects the “Paper jam error”.
2.1.5 Paper Loading Mechanism (ASF Unit)
The Paper loading mechanism is positioned at the printer rear. The Paper loading
mechanism loads paper at the ASF unit and feeds paper to the PF roller.
This ASF unit was designed newly for this product and consists of LD roller, Pad
holder (Paper return plate), ASF Frame, Hopper, and so on.
For the major feature of this ASF unit, ASF HP sensor is not used and the single LD
roller is built in the ASF unit.
Drive sent from the PF motor is always transmitted to the ASF unit side. But, the
Change lever and the Clutch mechanism switch ON/OFF the PF motor drive to the LD
roller with the motor rotational direction.
Drive from the PF motor is transmitted to the ASF unit as described below:
