4.3.5 Scan Mirror Motion Control

The motion of the Scan Mirror is controlled by the Scan Lever and Shaft as the Shaft is driven by the Scanning Motor (M1).

The Scan Mirror scans the image of the microfilm at a speed 1/631.6 of the Scanning Motor (M1).

Once the prescan motion is initiated, the leading edge of the image is synchronized with that of the paper, and the completion of the scan motion is detected, by the Scan Start Position Sensor (PC1) which are activated and deactivated by the cutouts in the light blocking Lever.

Scan Mirror first makes a prescan motion for reading the data before making the scan motion.

The Image Leading-Edge Position Sensor (PC1) and Scan Mirror Position Sensor (PC2) detect the cutouts in the light blocking lever.

The starting position for the prescan or scan motion is determined by particular states of these sensors, blocked (activated) or unblocked (deactivated), as detailed below.
