ADF Sensor/reflector

The ADF Unit is provided with optical sensors (including reflection-type sensors) for document size, register and PE Sensors, for example.
If the optical sensors, reflection-type sensors and light receivers get dirty with paper dust or other materials, the light intensity drops and causes false paper detection.
*Reflection-type sensors consist of a sensor itself on the light emission and light receiving sides and a reflector that reflects the light from the emitter toward the receiver.

Visually check the sensors. If they are not clean, clean them using a moistened cloth after water has been wrung out of the cloth.

  • A: Register Sensor reflector
  • B: PE Sensor 1 reflector
  • C: PE Sensor 2 reflector

Before cleaning PE Sensor 1 (A), remove the part (Paper Guide, PF Roller 1) enclosed by a red frame in the figure below from the left and right dowels (C).

  • B: Reflective plate
