6 MECHANICAL FUNCTION
6.1. Paper Feed Mechanism (Auto)

Fig.6.1

1. When the paper is set on the Hopper, and the scanning command is issued from PC, the Hopper rises and the paper will be brought into contact with Paper Feed Roller. 2. The Conveyor Motor is driven to rotate the 4 Drive Rollers and Exit Roller. 3. When the Paper Feed Motor starts, the Paper Feed Roller and the Separation Roller turn in feed direction. The Retard Roller is supported by shaft fixed via a torque limiter, and it is pushed against the Separation Roller. When the document enters into the separation section, the Retard Roller exerts a manipulation force onto the document, which depends on the set torque. In case of continuous paper feed, the document is separated by this manipulation force and is fed to the scanning section. 4. When the leading edge the document advances at about 10 mm from the Drive Roller1 after passing through the separation section and Waiting Sensor, the Paper Feed Motor stops and the Paper Feed Roller and the Separation Roller turn together. 5. When the leading edge of the document passes through the Starting Sensor, scanning the image starts after the defined period. (Time to be required to conveyor the document from the Starting Sensor to the scanning start point.) 6. When the trailing edge of the document come to the defined position from the Waiting Sensor, the Paper Feed Motor is driven again to feed the 2nd document. 7. Repeat the above 3 to 6. 8. After finishing all scanning process, Hopper goes down to the original position and the series of scanning sequence ends. Note: When the scanners buffer becomes full of data, scanner will stop until securing the buffer free area that allows the scanner to transfer the data to PC in order to prevent the buffer from overflowing.

Paper Feed Mechanism (Manual)

Fig.6.2

For multiple sheets scanning, there is possibility that the first page and second page will be separated, and the paper will be torn if paper is scanned while the Retard Roller is locked. When Manual Feed Selector is set to Auto, the Retard Roller is pushed against the Separation Roller. Thereby, the Retard Roller exerts a manipulation force onto the document, and the document is separated by this manipulation force. When Manual Feed Selector is set to Manual, the Retard Roller is free from the Separation Roller. In this case, the Retard Roller does not operate paper separation.

Paper Feed Roller / Hopper Lift Drive Mechanism

Fig.6.3

Paper Feed Motor drives either Paper Feed Roller mechanism or Hopper lift mechanism by selecting the direction of rotation. The drive system is shown on Fig.6.3. (a) The gear train (1) belongs to drive system for Paper Feed Roller and Separation roller. (b) The gear train (2) belongs to drive system for Hopper Lift. (c) The gear train (3) belongs to drive system for Paper Feed Roller, Separation Roller and Hopper Lift in common. When the Paper Feed Motor drives in the direction of arrow A, Paper Feed Roller is activated, based on output axis. On the other hand, when the Paper Feed Motor drives in the direction of arrow B, Hopper Lift mechanism is activated. Gears marked with (*) on Each Gear train have one way clutches. When the gears are activated to rotate against the direction of normal rotation, the one way clutches slipped and the series of rotation are not transmitted to the mechanical block.

Hopper Lift Mechanism

1. Hopper is mounted on Lift Roller of Hopper Lift Arm. 2. Hopper Lift Arm is supported by Hopper Cam through Hopper Spring. 3. Hopper Cam is an eccentric type cam, and is connected to Hopper Lift Gear Train (Gear Train (2)) mentioned in Fig.6.3. 4. When Hopper cam is in condition as shown in Fig.6.4.2, the paper can be set. 5. When the Hopper cam rotates in the direction of arrow as shown in Fig.6.4.3, it pushes up Hopper Spring, and enables paper to be fed by attaching Hopper to Paper Feed Roller. 6. And the Hopper Cam continues to rotate until it goes to the position as shown in Fig.6.4.2 to let the Hopper go down.

6.5.

Carriage Drive Mechanism

1. When the paper is set on the Flatbed Glass, and the scanning command is issued from PC, the Carriage Motor rotates to drive the CIS Carriage. 2. After scanning the defined size, the Carriage Motor rotates in reverse, and the CIS Carriage returns to its home position.
