Part Name Function
Paper pull-in roller This feeds the recording paper from the paper tray.
Registration actuator This detects the leading edge of the recording paper and controls
the print start position.
This controls disc tray position during disc printing.
This detects the trailing edge of the recording paper and
determines the recording paper size.
This detects paper jamming in the rear.
Paper feed roller This corrects the inclination of the recording paper when its
leading edge hits the stopped paper feed roller.
After the correction, the paper feed roller rotates and the
recording paper is fed to the print start position.
This feeds the disc tray during disc printing.
Pressure roller release actuator In disc printing, this detects whether the pressure roller is
released.
Paper ejection roller This feeds printed recording paper to the switchback roller.
This pulls in and ejects the disc tray during disc printing.
Switchback roller This ejects the recording paper to the paper ejecting tray.
During duplex printing, the front of the recording paper is
printed on, then after it is fed from the switchback roller to some
extent, it is rotated backwards and fed to the DX chute.
Duplex paper feed roller This feeds the recording paper, which passes through the DX
chute, to the paper feed roller during duplex printing.
