Theory of Operation
Secondly, the signal generated by the sensor tells the Main Board that the
paper is almost at the transfer area and it is time to start the xerographic
process. It is important that the leading edge of the paper enters the transfer
area at the same time as the leading edge of the developed image on the
drum.
Paper Size Sensor
The Paper Size Sensor detects the presence of paper and monitors a paper
size plate consisting of three sensitive metal tabs in the paper path.
Depending on the size of the paper, one or more of these tabs will send a
signal to the Main Board with the information needed to determine the paper
size. For information regarding the paper size combinations, see “Paper Size
Control” on page 2-10.
Outbin Tray Full Sensor
The Outbin Tray Full Sensor detects when the output bin is full and can no
longer accept more paper from the exit section of the paper path. When the
Main Board detects this sensor, it sends an “Output Bin Full” message to the
control panel.
Fuser Exit Sensor
The Fuser Exit Sensor monitors paper exit and detects the “Jam at Exit” error
if the paper takes too long getting to the sensor, or it stays at the sensor too
long. At this point the Main Board will shut down the printer, the Control Panel
LED will blink red, and a “Jam at Exit” error message will display on the
Control Panel. The signal from the Fuser Exit Sensor is also used to control
paper feed to the Duplex Unit for duplex print jobs.
Cover Open Interlock Switch
The Cover Open Interlock Switch detects whether the top cover is open or
closed. When the top cover is open the “Close Top Cover” message displays
on the Control Panel.
Duplex Sensor
The Duplex Unit slides into the rear of the printer above Tray 2. The Main
Board senses the presence of the Duplex Unit and paper in the Duplex unit
through the Duplex connector. As paper leaves the Fuser Assembly and is
picked up by the Exit Rollers, the drive direction is reversed to send the paper
into the Duplex Unit. As the paper leaves the Duplex Unit, it activates the
Duplex Sensor within the unit. This activates the Feed Roller to position the
paper for printing on the second side of the paper.
