2. Technology Lifter Control Paper inside a cassette is lifted up by the Lifting Plate. The Lifting Plate is lifted up by rotating the Cassette 3,4 Lifter Motor (M101). When paper surface reaches the position of the Pickup Roller, the Cassette 3/4 Paper Surface Sensor is turned ON (PS107/ PS108) to detect that the paper has reached the pickup position.
Page 16
2. Technology Cassette Pickup Control Rotation of the Cassette Pickup Motor feeds paper to the Cassette Pullout Roller. The Cassette 3/4 Pickup Roller and the Cassette 3/4 Feed Roller are driven by the Cassette 3,4 Pickup Motor (M102) while the Cassette 3,4 Pullout Roller is operated by the rotation of the Cassette 3,4 Pullout Motor (M103/M104).

2. Technology Cassette Detection Cassette is detected by the Cassette Size Switch. When none of the following microswitches of the Cassette Size Switch is pressed, "no cassette" is detected. • Cassette 3: Cassette 3 Size Switch B(SW101) • Cassette 4: Cassette 4 Size Switch B(SW103)
Page 20
2. Technology Paper Level/Presence Detection The level and presence of paper in the cassette are detected by following sensors. • Paper Sensor (PS105, PS106) Presence or absence of paper in the cassette is detected. • Lifter Sensor (PS107, PS108) This detects if the paper surface in the Cassette had been lifted up by the lifter control to the position that can be picked up. When the paper surface is detected (and the lift up operation is stopped), the remaining amount is displayed based on the detection state of Paper Level Sensor.
