Air Paper Feed Mechanism

The air paper feed mechanism uses the air produced by the seven fans (float fan / separation fan / side
fan (front/rear) / return fan / suction fan 1, 2) to handle and lift up and separate paper during the
process of feeding paper.
The sheet separated is transported into the vertical transport unit while being sucked to the paper feed
belt unit.

6 Return Fan

Separation, Transport

The air produced by the float fan floats up paper from the stack through the four float air nozzles [A] at
the front of the paper feed tray. Also, air produced by the side fans blows through the side air nozzles
[B] at the side fences. Then the air from the separator air nozzle [C] at the front of the paper feed tray
separates the 1st sheet of paper from the 2nd sheet of paper.
The 1st sheet of paper separated is sucked against the paper feed belt [D], and is transferred to the
129
2.Detailed Descriptions

transport roller [E] by the paper feed belt [D], and then fed to the vertical transport unit.
Air blown from the separation fan and float fan is switched on/off by the shutter [F].
The air blown from the side air nozzles assist float and suction of the next sheet of paper. Also, it
prevents double feed.

The return fan [A], return fan shutter [B], and return solenoid [C] near the feed nozzle improve the
separation quality. Additionally, in the feed belt unit, the suction fan shutter [D] and suction fan shutter
solenoid [E] prevent paper scratches during paper feed by the belt, by controlling the suction on the
belt.

 2.Detailed Descriptions

The three feed belts are installed at the same level. This improves the suction power and the feed
quality for long paper.

Fan Shutter Mechanism

There is no shutters for the side fan, so air from the side fan (side air) always blows through while paper
is transported.

1. Just before feed (first sheet of paper only)

The float/separation fan, side fan, suction fan shutters open, but the return fan shutter does not.
The feed belt [A] stops.

2. Feed starts
After feed starts, the float/separation fan shutter and side fan shutter are closed, and the return fan
shutter is open. The suction fan shutter is also open, to hold the top sheet of paper against the belt.
After 60 msec of suction, the feed belt starts to move.

of paper.

sides.
The end fence can also slide once its lock is released by squeezing its handle.

 Do not force the end fence when making it wider, as failing to squeeze the handle together
may damage the fence.

Paper Tray Lift Mechanism

The pulley on the LCIT lift motor [A] at the back of the paper feed tray winds up the wires that lift the
bottom plate [B]. The mechanism consists of 2 wires of different lengths at the front and rear of the tray,
which work together to keep the bottom plate level as they lift it. The short wire lifts the front of the
bottom plate, while the long wire lifts the rear.
The motor lifts the bottom plate until the paper upper limit sensors [C] detect the surface of the paper,
turning the motor off and stopping the movement of the plate. There are two paper upper limit sensors
and which sensor is used to detect the paper is determined at the timing of a job start.
Paper upper limit sensor 2 on the lower side detects the paper by default. When receiving the start job
of the paper feeding, it is switched to the sensor that is suitable to the paper thickness by the
acquisition of the paper information.
If the surface of the paper drops during printing, it turns the top sensor off, which turns the LCIT lift
motor and lifts the paper. When the paper feed tray is pulled out, the bottom plate drops down by its
own weight.
If the paper feed belt unit [D] (located at the ceiling of the bottom plate) is lifted up too much, the tray
upper limit sensor [E] detects it and generates SC503-015/504-015 “bottom plate over lift”, and stops
the bottom plate at the limit. (If more than two of the units are docked, SC505-115/506-015, SC507-
015/508-015)
If this happens, pull out the paper feed tray to release it.

136
 2.Detailed Descriptions

Remaining Paper Detection

The paper remaining is detected by counting pulses of the LCIT lift motor [A], and is shown in a four-
stage display on the operation panel.
When the bottom plate is lower than the paper height middle sensor [B], the remaining indicator is
affected by the pulse count that starts when the plate passes the lower limit sensor [C]. When the stack
of paper is finished, the bottom plate moves up and passes the paper height middle sensor, and the
indicator is affected by the pulse count that is reset and restarts when the plate passes the paper height
middle sensor.

137
2.Detailed Descriptions

Relationship between Sensor State and Paper Remaining

 When the upper limit is detected and the lower limit sensor detects, the output pulses of the LCIT
lift motor are not counted and the remaining amount is determined as 100 %.
 When the upper limit is detected and the paper height middle sensor detects, the output pulses of
the LCIT lift motor are not counted and the remaining amount is determined as 50 %.
 When the bottom plate passes the lower limit sensor, the pulse count for the LCIT lift motor starts.
 When the paper height middle sensor detects, the pulse count for the LCIT lift motor resets. Then,
when the bottom plate passes the lower limit sensor, the count starts.
 When paper remaining is 5 % or less, it is determined as 5 % until the paper end.
 When the paper height middle sensor detects, the remaining amount is determined as 50 %
regardless of the state of the lower limit sensor and the output pulses of the LCIT lift motor.
 The pulse count is cleared when no tray is in the LCIT.

Paper End Detection

In the paper feed belt unit, paper end sensor 1 [A] and paper end sensor 2 [B] are at different levels.
They monitor the surface of the paper [C].
When either of the sensors determines the end of paper, the LCIT lift motor reverses and lowers the
bottom plate.

Exit Roller Contact Mechanism

This LCIT unit has a new roller contact mechanism (pair of four rollers contacts/separates) to release
rollers that grip the trailing edge of paper when the SWIFT unit corrects the position of the paper in the
main machine (Pro C9200/C9210 models only).

The long paper contact motors 1 to 4 ([A] - [D]) are for vertical transport (for three paths [1] [2] [3]). The
three paths are related to Multi Bypass Attachment Kit for Vacuum Feed LCIT Type S9 [1], Multi Bypass
Banner Sheet Tray Type S9 [2], Bridge A3 LCIT [3] respectively.
Additionally, the Tray 1 vertical transport sensor [E] and vertical transport entrance sensor [F] are newly
added to detect the transport of long paper.
When attached to Pro C7200/C7210 series models, this roller contact mechanism for long paper does
not function.

141
2.Detailed Descriptions

The contact operation of the rollers is the same way of the LCIT exit roller contact mechanism that is
previously employed.
As an example, the contact mechanism of the LCIT exit rollers is explained as follows.
When the LCIT exit roller contact motor [A] is ON, it turns the cam [C] on the driveshaft via the belt [B].
The roller contact arm [D] moves up/down in conjunction with the cam, and this mechanism separates
the slave exit roller [E] from the drive exit roller [F]. The LCIT exit roller contact sensor [G] detects
whether or not they are in contact.

Jam LEDs

The vertical transport has jam LEDs to indicate where jams occur, which prevents jammed paper from
being torn when you handle it.

Jam Sensors and Jam LEDs

 When a jam (including a jam detected during initialization) occurs, a jam sensor detects it, and then
the corresponding LED blinks.
 Jam LEDs blink when the front door is open in a jam condition.
 When multiple LEDs blink to indicate jam locations, they blink at the same time.
 Jam sensors always monitor even when you are handling a jam (because the sheet following a
jammed sheet moves when you rotate a jam removal knob).
 The LED stops blinking two seconds after a jam sensor switches from on to off. If the sensor turns
on again within the two seconds, the LED keeps blinking.
 All of the LEDs turn off when the front door is closed. But if a jam is detected during initialization, a
jam LED blinks when the front door opens.

Anti-condensation

An optional tray heater can be installed under paper feed tray 2.

It is not operated by the ON/OFF switch, but is always ON when the AC power of the vacuum feed LCIT
is plugged in. If you wish to turn the heater OFF, the heater's relay connector [A] must be disconnected.
