OPERATING PRINCIPLES Printer Mechanism 55
The paper fed from the ASF, Roll paper guide or Board paper guide is detected by the
PE sensor installed on the right side of the Upper frame, and its leading edge is
transferred to the center front of the Paper guide once.
To eliminate the deflection of the paper, the paper is then returned toward the ASF unit
by the specified number of steps according to the paper feed mode, and is transferred
again to the specified paper locating position toward the front of the Paper guide.

2.2.4.2 Paper Eject Mechanism
As compared to the Stylus PHOTO 2000P, the spring load of the Knurled rollers above
the Paper eject roller (Paper guide front side) is about 1/4 lower to reduce the traces of
the Knurled rollers. Therefore, the main purpose of installing these Knurled rollers is
not paper transfer but its main function is to hold down transferred paper during
printing.
As compared to the Stylus PHOTO 2000P, the rubber roller on the paper eject side
(Paper eject roller) has the following features to fully dry ink that may be transferred to
the Paper eject roller.
• Roller diameter : About twice larger
• Position : Placed about three times longer distance away
• Width : About three times larger
• Material : Rubber based
