1.4 Deck Lifter

The lifter of the deck is connected to a reel by means of a cable, and is driven by the drive

of the deck lifter motor (M102). The lifter is moved up or down by changing the direction of

motor rotation.

When the compartment is slid into the deck, the deck OPEN detecting switch is pushed;

then, the lifter moves up as soon as the deck OPEN sensor (PS109) detects the light-block-

ing plate. The deck keeps moving up, and stops when the deck lifter position sensor

(PS104) detects the top surface of the stack of paper on the lifter.

If the lifter fails to stop moving up after the sensor lever blocks the deck lifter position

sensor for some reason, the deck lifter upper limit sensor (PS103) will turn on to prevent

damage otherwise caused by the deck.

The lifter, on the other hand, starts to move down when the deck open switch (SW100) is

pushed; it continues to move down unit it moves past the sensor lever of the deck paper sup-

ply position sensor (PS107), i.e., the falling edge of the sensor output.

When paper is supplied in this condition, it will push down the lever of the deck paper

supply position sensor, and the lifter in response will move farther down until the stack of

paper moves past the sensor lever.

The lifter repeats the descent each time paper is supplied until the deck lifter lower limit

detecting switch (SW102) is pushed.
