Universal blank form cassette

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To make the position of a blank paper guide movable so that the paper passage is performed avoiding the plate where the image noise is generated by providing a detection means of the position of a blank paper guide in the main device of an image formation device wherein the center of the conveyance road of blank paper is made to form the datum of paper passage. CONSTITUTION:A pair of blank paper guides 2, 5 are provided on right and left against the datum of paper passage provided in the center. A blank paper guide 4 is formed from a movable plate 3 at a right angle in the blank paper guide 2 on the left side against the conveyance direction of blank paper indicated by an arrow P. A blank paper guide plate 7 of a removable plate 6 in the blank paper guide 5 on the right side is made capable of tumbling down. The movable plates 3, 6 of the blank paper guides 2, 5 are made capable of moving. Racks 13, 14 engaging with a pinion 11 in front and in rear are attached in the direction of paper passage causing the linking movement between them. A sliding detector 16 of resistance that moves inside of a variable resistance device 15 and detects the position of the blank paper guide 2 is locked to the rack 13 mounted to the movable plate 3 of the blank paper guide 2 on the left side. The detection signal from the sliding detector 16 is inputted to an analogue port in the CPU of a main body of this device.
