2. Technology Controls Overview Paper inside a cassette is lifted up by the Lifter Plate. The Lifter Plate is lifted up by rotating the Cassette Lifter Motor (M103/M104). When the Pickup Roller comes into contact with the paper surface, the Cassette Pickup Motor (M101/M102) rotates to pick up the surface layer paper, and the Cassette Feed Roller and Cassette Separation Roller feed only 1 sheet of paper to the feed path.

2. Technology OFF. (When the switch is pressed: ON) Any standard size paper of AB, inch, or AK configuration can be used. However, distinction between A5-R and STMT-R should be made manually on the check screen. Distinction between EXEC-R and 16K-R and between LTR-R and 16K-R is automatically made according to the country setting.

2. Technology Cassette Paper Sensor Cassette Paper Surface Sensor Paper Paper Cassette Paper Level Sensor Cassette Paper Sensor Cassette Paper Surface Sensor Paper Paper Cassette Paper Level Sensor ■ Paper Detection Control Paper is detected by the Cassette Size Switch, Cassette Paper Surface Sensor and Cassette Paper Sensor. The absence of paper is notified when the Cassette Paper Sensor is turned ON at the time the Cassette Size Switch is turned ON (it is detected that the cassette is in the host machine) and the Cassette Paper Surface Sensor is turned OFF (the Lifter Plate is raised to the pickup position).

2. Technology Cassette Paper Lifting Plate Surface Sensor Detection Lever Cassette Paper Sensor Cassette Paper Level Sensor Paper Detection Lever Paper Level Detection Lever Cassette Lifter Motor Lifter Gear Lifting Plate ■ Lifter Control ● When Cassette Is Set When the cassette is set, the Cassette Lifter Motor rotates to raise the Lifter Plate. Then, the paper is raised to the position to be picked up.
2. Technology Stop registration control stops the Pre-registration Roller. Paper fed by the Pre-registration Roller after being picked up from the cassette generates an arch due to being pushed against the Registration Roller which has been stopped. In order to align the image on the ITB with the paper at a specified timing, this control stops paper feed with the paper arched, aligns the image on the ITB with the paper at the specified timing, and then resumes paper feed.
