2-1-1 Paper feed/ conveying section
Paper feed/conveying section consists of the paper feed unit that feeds paper from the cassette and the MF
tray (Manual feed tray) paper feed unit that feeds paper from the MF tray(25/26 ppm model), and the paper
conveying section that conveys the fed paper to the transfer/separation section.
(1) Cassette paper feed/ paper conveying section
Cassette paper feed section consists of the paper holder with the cassette operation plate, and the paper feed
pulley and the separation pad, for extracting and conveying the paper. Paper is fed out of the cassette by the
rotation of the paper feed pulley.
The paper conveying section conveys paper to the transfer/separation section as paper feeding from the cas-
sette or MF tray, or as paper refeeding for duplex printing (25/26 ppm model). Paper by feeding is conveyed
by the upper registration roller and lower registration roller to the transfer/separation section.The timing to
start image formatting by laser is triggered by the regist sensor (RS) and in synchronization with the paper.
