REV.-A
3.2.2.1 Mechanism Operation
Paper is loaded between the paper holder and the paper loading rollers. When the paper feed motor
rotates in reverse, the gears, via the pinion on the motor’s shaft, rotate in the direction of the white
arrows (see Figure 3-4), and friction causes the paper to advance to the paper guide. When the paper
comes into contact with the platen, the rotation of the paper feed motor changes to the forward
direction, and the gears rotate in the direction indicated by the black arrows. Friction causes the paper
to advance between the platen and the paper feed rollers. As it advances, the paper is further guided
by the paper ejecting rollers. Figure 3-4 illustrates the feed operation.
