2. MECHANISMS The facsimile equipment is classified into the following mechanisms: n Transmitting Mechanism g documents n Receiving Mechanism n Power Transmission Mechanism n Sensors and Actuators Transmitting Mechanism (Feeding and scanning documents) The transmitting mechanism consists of the document stacker, automatic document feeder (ADF), document feeding related rollers, scanner, and document sensors. (For details about the sensors, refer to Section 2.4.) r source, refer to Section 2.3.

The scanner uses a contact image sensor (CIS) unit which consists of an LED array illuminating documents, a self-focus lens array collecting the reflected light, a CIS PCB carrying out photoelectric conversion to output picture element data, and a cover glass on which a document advances. When the document passes between the document pressure bar and the cover glass, it is scanned. I II 3 - Scanner 2.1.2

Receiving Mechanism (Feeding paper and printing data) The receiving mechanism consists of the recording paper cover ASSY, paper feed roller ASSY, platen, thermal recording head, paper ejection roller, and sensors. (For details about the sensors, refer to Section 2.4.) If the equipment receives data, the control electronics activates the solenoid and rotates the motor counterclockwise to drive the paper feed roller (and paper ejection roller). This pulls in a sheet of The control electronics de

Power Trans mission Mechanism The equipment has a single drive motor whose power transmission route can be switched by the planetary gear systems and the solenoid. This switching allows the equipment to function in four operation modes (scanning, paper feeding/ejecting, recording, and copying modes). For the details ems, refer to Subsection 2.3.2. Structure of the gear train All of the motor and gears are located at the left side of the equipment. As illustrated in the figure below (On the ou

This section describes the planetary gear system of sun gear 24/90 ("B"). It consists of sun gear 3 If the motor rotates, sun gear 24/90 rotates so that the rotational torque is transmitted to the engagement between the sun gear and planet gears 34. Since the arms and planet gears are so designed that the moment of the arms is less than that of the planet gears, the arms turn around the center shaft in the same direction as sun gear 24/90. If the planet gear(s) becomes engaged with any other g

Power transmission for four operation modes Depending upon the solenoid ON/OFF state and the motor rotation direction, the planetary gear train switches the power transmission route for the four operation modes. I II 7 - Motor rotation direction Solenoid ON/OFF state 2.3.3
