2.1.4 Paper Feeding Mechanism
The paper feeding mechanism consists of Paper feed motor (PF motor), PF roller,
Paper eject roller, Star wheel roller, and so on. The paper feeding mechanism feeds
paper loaded from ASF using the PF roller and Paper Eject Roller & Star wheel roller.
For this mechanism, the PF motor mentioned in the right Table 2-2 is used on this
product.
The drive of the PF motor is transfer to the PF roller and the Paper Eject Roller as
following Figure 2-6. Following shows you how to transfer the PF motor drive to the
PF roller and the Paper Eject Roller.

Figure 2-6. Paper Feeding Mechanism
Paper loaded from ASF is advanced by the following roller.

Paper feed roller & Paper guide roller (assembled on the Top Frame) → Paper
eject roller & Star wheel roller (assembled on the Paper eject frame).
Additionally, the top & end of the paper is detected with the HP/PE sensor.
In case the PE sensor dose not detect the paper in the paper loading sequence, the
printer detects the “Paper out error”. If the paper is detected after complete the paper
eject sequence, the printer detects the “Paper jam error”.
