6.11.4 PAPER FEED AND SEPARATION MECHANISM
Paper Feed and Separation: No Paper Present
While waiting for the first sheet to feed and between sheets, the feed roller [A] must
not rotate. However, the grip roller [B] must turn, so that any paper coming up the
vertical transport path continues to feed. To do this, the paper feed motor [C]
rotates in reverse. The separation roller [D] is free to rotate in the direction shown
by the arrow, because the separation roller solenoid is off.
When the feed motor reverses:
