The pressure air is switched with the Valve selection, and the Pressure
Sensor controls its force to a specified value.
The cover interlock valve is opened to release the pressure state in the I/C

Cap Motion Unit its drying except when there is a print job (including power off). It is turned to
a lowered state during print job. The ink discharged when other than print job
(Cleaning1/Flushing2) is collected in a cap in the Cap Motion Unit.
This unit has the Buffer Tank and two types of Decompress Pumps (for each
two). These Decompress pumps suck only the air in the Buffer Tank, to quickly
reduce its pressure, and the accumulated pressure in these pumps is reduced with
Maintenance Unit the Ink discharge pump. The pressure reduction force is controlled with the Wiper Unit

specified tray, and performs duplex printing.
The Face Up Ejection Flap Solenoid controls the Face up/
Face down feed paths.
After the paper is fed to the Face up ejection path, the Paper
Eject Flap Solenoid ejects it in the Face-up Paper Ejection
Tray or feeds it to the Immediate ejection path.
EJ Unit When performing duplex printing, the Duplex Flap Solenoid EJ Unit
controls the Flip path and the Paper ejection path for main
unit.
The paper in the Flip path is fed to the Duplex path with the
Flip roller in a switch-back manner, then the reversed paper is
conveyed to the paper feed mechanism again.
The Paper Detectors are mounted on each path to control the
timing of path switching and detect the occurrence of paper
jam.

The ADF mechanism of this product is composed of the Paper loading
mechanism and the Paper feed mechanism. This scanner mechanism is composed of the CIS Modules and the Scanner
The CIS Module on the fixed scanner mechanism and the CIS Module on the Motor for driving the Scanner Carriage. As the light source for scanning, an
ADF mechanism read both sides of the document at the same time. LED is used for its less power consumption and long life.
OPERATION DURING THE ADF PAPER LOADING/PAPER FEEDING Seven sensors are mounted in the unit for document size detection.
A document set on the document support is loaded to the feeding mechanism
by lifting the document support with the Lift motor's drive, and then by rotating
the ADF Separate Roller and Acceleration Roller with the ALD Motor. The
retard separation method is used for paper separation, and each document is
separated by the ADF Retard Roller.
To support document feeding up to A3/Ledger, four sensors are mounted in the Scanner Motor CIS Module
Document Support for document size detection.
The paper is loaded/fed while stopping the Register Roller. These status is kept

for a certain period of time after the paper reaches the Register Roller to bend

3.3.6.1 Overview
The High Capacity Unit, and the Finisher Unit for post processing device can
be attached to this product.
When attaching the Finisher Unit, the Bridge Unit is also required to attach.
 High Capacity Unit
The device that can store up to 3500 sheets of A4/Letter paper in addition
to the four cassettes in the main unit.
 Finisher Unit
This device has two output trays that features the following functions;
storage of large capacity of ejected papers (up to 4200 sheets), sorting the
numerous copies of outputs, and stapling including at a cornet or double
staple along the side edge.
The ejected print materials can be stapled afterwards.
 Bridge Unit
The device that relays/feeds the paper ejected in the Face up state from the
main unit to the Finisher while keeping its printing speed.
Finisher Unit Bridge Unit WF-C20590 High Capacity Unit
After printing and paper ejection finish in the main unit, dries the printed
ink in the Intermediate Unit. This contributes to gain time for preventing
the printed paper from curling and the ink transfer to the Feed Rollers or
the Guides in the Finisher. Figure 3-56. Option mechanism
The paper fed with Face up is reversed at the Flip path in the Intermediate
Unit and fed in the Finisher.
