(2) Document Separation Mechanism
• Double feeding of paper is prevented using coefficient of friction between the Take-up
Roller and Separator Pad.
Single sheet feeding : The coefficient of friction on the front side of the paper fed
between the Take-up Roller and Separator Pad is equal to that
on the backside of the paper. This allows the Take-up Roller to
transport the paper.
Multiple sheet feeding : The coefficient of friction between the paper and Separator Pad
is greater than that between sheets of paper. This allows only
the first sheet of paper to be transported by the Take-up Roller.
