Function of Major Components The two figures on page 8-39 show the major components of the Stacker. I Drive Motor Assembly - Drives the Stacker Mid Roller Assembly and the Exit Roller Assembly. I Offset Motor Assembly - Shifts the Offset Roller Assembly. I Stack Full Sensor and Stack Full Actuator - Detects when the stacking of the Exit Tray exceeds 500 sheets of paper. I Stacker PWB - Controls Stacker operations. I Offset Roller Assembly - Drives printed pages into the Stacker Tray, offsetting each from the normal position. I Stacker Exit Sensor Assembly - Located between the Mid Stacker Roller Assembly and the Offset Roller Assembly, it detects when paper passes into the Tray Exit. I Home Sensor - The Stacker Home Sensor detects when the Offset Roller Assembly is in the home position. It is turned On when the Core Gear is located at the sensing point of the Stacker Home Sensor. I Direction Solenoid and Lever - Switches the paper path between the normal paper path and the Stacker paper path. Stacker Control Offset Motor Control When the end of a sheet of paper reaches the Stacker Exit Sensor Assembly, the sensor signal goes Low. The Offset Motor Assembly begins rotating clockwise for a specified time after the signal goes Low. This clockwise rotation shifts the sheet of paper from the normal position. At the specified time after the Sensor Assembly Exit goes Low, the Exit Motor Assembly begins rotating in the counterclockwise direction, moving the Offset Roller Assembly back into home position, until the Sensor Stacker Home signal (/Stacker HOME) goes Low. When the power is first switched on, the Offset Motor Assembly performs this offset operation once to make sure the Offset Roller Assembly is in the home position. Duplex Operation When the printer is running in Duplex mode, the paper partially feeds out into the standard Exit Tray (under the Stacker Assembly). The paper then reverses direction, is printed on the second side, and sent to the Exit Tray of the Stacker. Full Stack Detection The Engine Logic Board examines the state of the Full Stack Sensor after the Sensor Assembly Exit signal goes Low. The Engine Logic Board detects that the Exit Tray is full when the Stack Full Sensor remains High for a set number of successive Exit Sensor Assembly actuations (sheets of paper exiting in the Stacker). The Stack Full condition stays in affect until the Stack Full Sensor goes Low. 8-40 Phaser 4400 Laser Printer Service Manual

Function of Major Components

The two figures on

page 8-39

show the major components of the Stacker.

■

Drive Motor Assembly ³ Drives the Stacker Mid Roller Assembly and the

Exit Roller Assembly.

■

Offset Motor Assembly ³ Shifts the Offset Roller Assembly.

■

Stack Full Sensor and Stack Full Actuator ³ Detects when the stacking of

the Exit Tray exceeds 500 sheets of paper.

■

Stacker PWB ³ Controls Stacker operations.

■

Offset Roller Assembly ³ Drives printed pages into the Stacker Tray,

offsetting each from the normal position.

■

Stacker Exit Sensor Assembly ³ Located between the Mid Stacker Roller

Assembly and the Offset Roller Assembly, it detects when paper passes into

the Tray Exit.

■

Home Sensor ³ The Stacker Home Sensor detects when the Offset Roller

Assembly is in the home position. It is turned On when the Core Gear is

located at the sensing point of the Stacker Home Sensor.

■

Direction Solenoid

and Lever ³ Switches the paper path between the

normal paper path and the Stacker paper path.

Stacker Control

Offset Motor Control

When the end of a sheet of paper reaches the Stacker Exit Sensor Assembly, the

sensor signal goes Low. The Offset Motor Assembly begins rotating clockwise for a

specified time after the signal goes Low. This clockwise rotation shifts the sheet of

paper from the normal position. At the specified time after the Sensor Assembly Exit

goes Low, the Exit Motor Assembly begins rotating in the counterclockwise

direction, moving the Offset Roller Assembly back into home position, until the

Sensor Stacker Home signal (/Stacker HOME) goes Low. When the power is first

switched on, the Offset Motor Assembly performs this offset operation once to make

sure the Offset Roller Assembly is in the home position.

Duplex Operation

When the printer is running in Duplex mode, the paper partially feeds out into the

standard Exit Tray (under the Stacker Assembly). The paper then reverses direction,

is printed on the second side, and sent to the Exit Tray of the Stacker.

Full Stack Detection

The Engine Logic Board examines the state of the Full Stack Sensor after the Sensor

Assembly Exit signal goes Low. The Engine Logic Board detects that the Exit Tray is

full when the Stack Full Sensor remains High for a set number of successive Exit

Sensor Assembly actuations (sheets of paper exiting in the Stacker). The Stack Full

condition stays in affect until the Stack Full Sensor goes Low.
