Printing from tray 2 When the formatter sends the /PRNT signal to the printer, the main motor (M101) and scanner motor start rotation. When the main motor reaches its prescribed speed, the feed roller clutch (CL101) and tray 2 pickup solenoid (SL101) are activated. (The tray 2 pickup roller, tray 2 feed roller, tray 2 separation roller, and paper feed rollers are driven by the main motor rotation.) The tray 2 pickup roller, activated by the pickup solenoid, rotates once and picks up the media in the tray. The unnecessary sheets are removed by the separation roller and the media is fed to the pre- feed sensor (PS102).
The sheet then reaches the registration assembly, where its skew is corrected. Then it goes through transfer, separation, and fusing stages; passes through the delivery unit; and is delivered to the output bin. Note If paper is removed from tray 1 just before it is picked, the tray 1 pickup roller might continue to rotate up to six times and a jam will be detected. Figure 32.
