Tandem Tray Paper Feed Sensor Jam
# Symptom: Feed sensor jam from mis-feed of 3 or more sheets.
Before the trailing edge of the first sheet clears the feed/reverse rollers, the pickup roller, (already rotating) from
drive supplied through the feed roller, lowers and begins feeding the next sheet. Then the trailing edge of the first
sheet crosses with the leading edge of the next sheet around the area of the feed sensor.
NOTE:
# Pickup solenoid ON/OFF timing
(ON: pickup roller contacts paper,
OFF: separates):
-The solenoid turns OFF when the
paper's leading edge reaches the
feed sensor.
-The solenoid turns ON X ms after
the paper has reached the feed
sensor (extended 10 mm worth).
With multi-feeds of 3 sheets or more, the previous sheet stops at the registration section and then the next
sheet (blue) is fed to the feed sensor via the inertia of the feed roller. The paper feed sensor then turns ON,
followed by the pick-up solenoid a certain number of ms later. If the paper slips at all on the way to the grip
roller, it can collide with the previous sheet around the feed sensor (which detects the presence of paper and
triggers a jam).
Note: This symptom occurs only for LT LEF fed from Tray 1.
Pickup SOL OFF.

1st Sheet
2nd Sheet
If the multifeed occurs, the 1st
multifed sheet is already at the
paper feed sensor area. (Even with
the feed clutch off, the paper
reaches the feed sensor via the
inertia of the feed roller).
Pick-up SOL turns ON once
predetermined interval expires (since LE
detected by feed sensor).
Countermeasure:
Pick-up solenoid ON timing delayed
(10mm worth of time), to allow leway
for the previous sheet even if it should
slip.
