Paper Loading Mechanism ASF Unit | Epson C40UX instruction

Stylus C40UX/C40SX/C20UX/C20SX

Revision A

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:

Switch the PF motor drive to ASF unit side

PF Motor Pinion Gear (CCW) → Spur Gear 60 (PF Roller) (CW) → Spur Gear 10.8 (CW) → Combination Gear18, 28 (CCW) → Spur Gear 27.2 (CW) → Spur Gear 25.6 (CCW) → Change Laver Rotates (CCW) → Release the Clutch mechanism lock position

Following Figure 2-9 shows you the switching path for PF motor drive to ASF unit side.
