EPSON Stylus Color 900

Revision C

After a paper loading motion is completed, the semicircular roller rotates in the normal direction to load the top paper in the stack. This operation is enabled by the correct phase of the gears in the ASF, because the timings for the semicircular roller’s contacting the paper surface by the corner (A) and the hopper’s being pushed out must be coincided. The ASF sensor is used to determine the condition whether the phase is correct or not. The transmission system of the ASF sensor detects the condition by catching the position of the cam attached onto the same shaft as the semicircular roller is. See Table 2-8 and Table 2-9 for the ASF sensor specifications and its switch mode, respectively.
