Sensors and Actuators

This machine has 13 sensors: 10 photosensors*, two thermistors, and a mechanical switch as

described below.

(

Models supporting a 2nd paper cassette have two more photosensors--2nd registration sensor and 2nd

cassette sensor.)

•

Document front sensor which detects the presence of documents.

•

Document rear sensor which detects the leading and trailing edges of pages to tell the control

circuitry when the leading edge of a new page has reached the starting position and when the

scan for that page is over.

•

Document tray open sensor which detects whether the document tray is closed.

•

CCD HP sensor which detects whether the CCD unit is placed in the home position.

•

Manual insertion sensor which detects whether paper is inserted manually through the paper slot

or whether paper fed through the paper cassette has jammed.

•

Registration sensor which detects the leading and trailing edges of recording paper, which

allows the controller to determine the registration timing and check paper jam.

•

Cassette sensor which detects whether the paper cassette is loaded.

•

Paper ejection sensor which detects whether the recording paper goes out of the machine.

•

Toner sensor which detects whether there is toner or a toner cartridge is loaded.

•

Cover sensor which detects whether the front cover is closed.

•

Jam sensor which detects whether paper is jammed inside the heat-fixing unit.

•

Heater thermistor which allows the controller to monitor the temperature of the heater roller of

the fixing unit.

•

In-casing temperature sensor which allows the controller to monitor the temperature inside the

machine.
