TRAY 3 PAPER FEED UNIT (7155/7165)
2-K-6
2 UNIT EXPLANATION
2. Signals
a. PRCB input signals
(1) T3UP_PS (PS14 to PRCB)
Paper upper limit detection signal
[L]: Not detected.
[H]:Detected.
(2) T3RM_PS (PS16 to PRCB)
Remaining paper detection signal
[L]: Not detected.
[H]:Detected.
b. PRCB output signals
(1) T3RISEM_24 (PRCB to M18)
M18 ON/OFF control signal
[5] Paper Size Detection Control
The paper size in tray 3 is detected using PS17
(paper size/1-3), PS18 (paper size/2-3), and
VR3 (paper size/3). Based on the detection sig-
nals, the PRCB (printer control board) judges the
paper size.
1. Operation
The length of paper is detected using PS17/18
(paper size/1-3/2-3). Variable resistor (VR3)
interlocked with the guide position is installed at
the bottom of the tray to detect the width of paper.
The relationships between the sensors and
paper sizes (lengths) are as follows:
Paper size

A4R to
B5R
F4 or
larger
