Lower Feeder Unit Drive
Conveyance Drive Mechanism
■ The Lower Feeder Unit is not provided with any drive motor. The driving force for paper
feeding and conveyance (drive from M1) is transmitted through a coupling gear from the
printer.
■ The paper separation mechanism uses separation claws installed in the unit and elasticity
of the paper. It ensures that only one sheet of paper is fed in at time.
■ The Lower Feeder Paper Pick-up Solenoid (SL7 PF) is controlled from the printer side
through the Lower Feeder Board (PWB-A PF) mounted in the Lower Feeder Unit.
