3.2.2 ADF unit

The ADF unit is equipment which sends one document or the document for every plurality to the ADF scanning part of the scanner unit, and performs continuation scanning. As for the ADF of this machine, the duplex scanning is also possible.

Performance of the ADF

-The number of maximum capacity: Up to 50 sheets

-Maximum resolution: Up to 600dpi

-Maximum scanning speed: 32 pages/minute (Letter size) (Simplex scanning)

14 sides/minute (Letter size) (7pages/minute) (Duplex scanning)

-Maximum input media size: Width 148.0mm, Length 148.0mm

-Minimum input media size: Width 215.9mm, Length 355.6mm

1.Function of each roller

-Pick-up roller

Send the document of the inserted ADF to the inside of the ADF.

-Separation roller

Separate the sent document one by one.

-Paper feed roller 1, 2, 3, 4 Send the document.

-SB (switch back) roller ASSY

When the duplex scanning, this motor is rotated by contraries, draws the sent out document to the inside of ADF again.

-Eject roller

Eject the document.

2.Function of each sensor

-Document front sensor 1

Detects whether the document is set in the ADF.

-Document front sensor 2

Detects whether the document is sent by the separation roller.

-Document rear sensor

Detect the timing of the scanning start of the document.

-Switch back sensor

When the duplex scanning, detect the timing of the reversing of the SB roller by the document passed.

-Document cover open sensor

Detects whether the document cover is opened or not. Even if the document is set into the ADF, the machine starts scanning the document glass ignoring the ADF.

3.Function of each motor/solenoid

-ADF motor

Driving source of overall ADF.

-Paper feed solenoid

The paper feed solenoid stops the driving of the pick-up roller and separation roller while the document is drawn in order to prevent that the next document is drawn into the ADF while duplex printing.

-Switch back solenoid

Switches the direction of rotation of the SB roller ASSY.
