11 Side Paper Deck
11.1 Outline
The side paper deck allows placement of 3500 sheets of paper (A4/LTR/B5; 80 g/m
2
) at a
time, and is designed to feed paper in response to the control signals from the DC controller
PCB.
F02-1101-01 shows the basic construction of the side paper deck; F02-1101-02 shows the
basic sequence of operations, while F02-1101-03 shows the control mechanism.
The differences from the GP605 are found in relation to the machine’s higher speed of
operation, as found in the higher rotation speed of the motor.
