c Paper Feed Section
chap.2
1. Description
Feeding of the paper is performed by the paper separator (employing the center separation method) and paper
feed roller (there is no corner finger). Elevation of the feed tray is powered by the elevator motor. Paper fed by
the paper separator and paper feed roller is fed further by the timing roller and guide roller to the point
where its leading edge is sandwiched between the drum and the press roller. Then the pression of the timing
roller and guide roller is released (by moving the guide roller upward several mm), so that the paper is fed
through at a speed equal to the circumferential speed of the drum and press roller. The press roller sensor
senses the paper feed condition; if a feed error occurs, the message “PAPER JAM” is displayed. For details, see
“Paper jam detection timing” in chapter 2.
