CHAPTER 6 PICKUP/FEDING SYSTEM
4 Detecting Jams
4.1 Outline
The machine is equipped with 3 jam sensors used to motor the movement of paper. In ad-
dition to these sensors, the machine is also provided with sensors to find out the presence/
absence of paper in the cassette and manual feed tray (1 pc. each).
The presence/absence of paper or of a jam is checked at such times as programmed in ad-
vance in the CPU of the DC controller PCB and in relation to the presence/absence of paper
over a specific sensor at a given time. If the machine detects a jam, it will turn off the main
motor (M101), and will indicate a jam message in the control panel.
Memo
If a jam occurs while the machine is in copy mode, all images stored in
memory will be lost, requiring the machine to start with the original for
which a jam has occurred.
The following are the sensors used to monitor the movement of paper:
