PAPER FEED August 2006

Jam Removal at Paper Registration
If a paper misfeed occurs between the vertical transport rollers and the registration
rollers, the next sheet is already on its way up from the paper tray. The paper in the
feed path must be stopped to avoid paper jams.
When a jam occurs, a guide plate falls open to divert paper into the duplex tray.
When the registration sensor signals that a jam ha s occurred at the registration
rollers:
• Guide plate solenoid [A] turns on and raises lever [B].
• Lock lever [C] on the guide plate releases pin [D] on the rear side frame
• The guide plate [E] falls open. The open plate diverts paper from the feed path
below into the duplex tray.
• As soon as the guide plate opens, actuator [F] on the guide plate activates the
guide plate position sensor [G]
The operator must remove the paper jammed in the feed path, remove the diverted
paper in the duplex tray, and close the guide plate.
To prevent the guide plate from being left open, copying is disabled and a caution
is displayed on the LCD panel as long as the guide plate remains open with the
guide plate sensor activated.
