MX-CF10  OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTION  4 - 3

Step 01: A sheet is placed in the paper feed tray of the inserter.

Step 02: The START LED lights up in blue on the operator panel of the

inserter.

Step 03: The inserter reserves an operation command sent by the

main unit.

Step 04: The inserter registration clutch is turned ON to lock the regis-

tration rollers.

Step 05: The inserter paper feed motor reverses to lower the pickup

roller, thereby taking in the sheet from the paper feed tray.

Step 06: The inserter registration sensor detects the leading edge of

the sheet.

Step 07: The sheet makes contact with the registration rollers to form

a loop, thereby stopping the inserter paper feed motor.

Step 08: The inserter registration clutch is turned OFF.

Step 09: The inserter paper feed motor starts to rotate in the forward

direction.  The registration rollers and vertical transport roll-
ers rotate.  If the sheet is the first sheet, the flapper solenoid
in the reverse section is turned ON at this time.

Step 10: The inserter timing sensor detects the leading edge of the

sheet.

Step 11: The leading edge of the sheet passes between the vertical

transport rollers.

Step 12: When sheet transport needs to be suspended for adjusting

the space between sheets, the inserter paper feed motor
stops to stop the sheet.

Step 13: When a predetermined waiting time period has passed, the

inserter flapper solenoid is turned ON, the inserter paper
feed motor restarts, and the inserter reverse motor starts to
rotate in the forward direction.

Step 14: The inserter reverse sensor is turned ON, and detects the

leading edge of the sheet.

Step 15: When the trailing edge of the sheet leaves the inserter timing

sensor, the inserter paper feed motor starts to slow down to
stop.
(After the inserter paper feed motor has completely stopped,
if there is a next sheet to be inserted, the inserter paper feed
motor starts to reverse to take it in.)

Step 16: The inserter reverse sensor is turned OFF.  The trailing edge

of the sheet is detected, and the flapper solenoid in the
reverse section is turned OFF.  When the sheet travels a pre-
determined distance, the inserter reverse motor stops.
