General information1-59 7510 Go Back Previous Next Bottom plate The force pushing up the bottom plate is transmitted by the driving force of the motor on the media feed unit assembly. The bottom plate is pushed up by the rotation of the lift up shaft, which causes the supplied media to come in contact with the pick roll. The force pushing up the bottom plate of tray 3 is transmitted by the driving force of the media feed lift motor on the media feed unit assembly to the media lift shaft assembly through the tray lift gear assembly 3. The bottom plate is lifted up via the rear tray cables, front right cable and front left cable by the rotation of the tray lift shaft assembly, which causes the supplied media to come into contact with the pick roll. The force pushing up the bottom plate of tray 4 is transmitted to the tray lift shaft assembly through the tray lift gear assembly 4. The bottom plate is lifted up via the front tray cables and rear tray cables by the rotation of the tray lift shaft assembly, which causes the supplied media to contact the pick roll.

General information1-61 7510 Go Back Previous Next TTM media feed units Media feed unit assembly Since the tray 3 and tray 4 are functionally equivalent in terms of the switch (TTM media size), sensor (media out), sensor (media level) and sensor (pre-feed), only the components of one tray are described here. The media feed unit assembly is a mechanical unit supplying media from the media tray assembly to the printer. The driving force from the media feed lift motor on the media feed unit assembly is transmitted to the three roll assemblies to feed media. When the pick roll picks up sheets of media and the remaining media decreases, the media level actuator of the sensor (media level) lowers accordingly. Media feed lift motor The media feed lift motor is activated to feed media and to lift the bottom plate. While feeding media, it rotates forward to drive the pick roll. When lifting the bottom plate, it rotates in reverse to drive the tray module gears to turn the lift up shaft. Switch (media size) This switch (media size) sets the size of media supplied from each media tray a Switch (TTM media size) The switch (TTM media size) switches the setting of the size of media supplied from each media tray assembly. A signal indicating the set size is transmitted as a voltage to the printer engine card assembly. Sensor (media out) If there is no media in the media tray assembly, the media out actuator lowers and the flag of the media out actuator that has stayed in the sensor (media out) sensing area leaves there. Thus, the light of the sensor is transmitted. When the sensing area is blocked (media is present), the signal turns off. Sensor (media level) This sensor detects by the actuator position whether media in the media tray assembly is lifted. When the flag of the actuator leaves the sensor (media level) sensing area, the sensor detects that the media has been lifted.

Functions of main components When the 3TM is installed under the printer, additional trays are available. Media tray assembly Media feed unit assembly It is necessary to adjust the guide and the end guide in the media tray assembly to match the media size. Rear media guide The rear media guide can be adjusted to different media sizes by moving it to the front or rear. The guide comes into contact with the rear edge of the media and holds it in position.
