Paper Feed Mechanism
■ When the Tray1 Paper Pick-up Solenoid (SL1) is energized, drive from the Main Motor
(M1) is transmitted to the Pick-up Roller via the Paper Pick-up Clutch. The Pick-up Roller
is then rotated.
■ At the same time, the Lift Cam is rotated, which raises the Paper Lift Plate. This allows the
paper to be taken up or picked, and then fed by the Pick-up Roller.
Double Feed Prevention Mechanism
The fixed Separation Pad system plus the Claw Stoppers are used for paper separation. This
ensures that only the first sheet of paper is taken up and fed in.
