The copier determines the position of the pressure roller based on the foregoing factors,
and instructs the buffer pass unit accordingly; the signal indicating the position of the pres-
sure roller is sent for each delivery made by the copier.
The phase sensor 1 (PS4; for reverse, PS5) and the phase sensor 2 (PS6; for reverse, PS7)
are used to detect the position for the pressure cam.
As soon as the copier is turned on, a search is immediately executed to find the home po-
sition (where bending will be maximum) for the pressure cam. If the home position cannot
be found within a specific period of time, an error code (E517) will be indicated on the
copier’s control panel.
In standby, the pressure cam is always at its home position, thereby preventing deforma-
tion (dents) of the curl removing roller.
