3.3.2.1 Mechanism Operation
Paper is loaded between the paper holder and the paper-loading rollers. When the paper-feed motor rotates
in reverse, the gears, via the pinion on the motor’s shaft, rotate in the direction of the white arrows (see
Figure 3-5) and friction causes the paper to advance to the paper guide. When the paper comes into contact
with the platen, the rotation of the paper-feed motor changes to the forward direction, and the gears rotate
in the direction indicated by the black arrows. Friction causes the paper to advance between the platen and
the paper-feed rollers. As it advances, the paper is further guided by the paper-ejecting rollers. Figure 3-5
illustrates the feed operation.
