2,2.4 Paper Feed
This section describes the paper-feed operation.
2.2.4.1 Paper Feed Mechanism Operation
Friction feeding is used for cut sheets, and push tractor feeding is used for fanfold paper.
Friction-Feed Operation
The paper is held against the platen by paper-feed rollers. The paper-feed motor rotates the platen gear,
via the paper-feed reduction gear, in the direction shown in Figure 2-38. Because of the friction between
the paper-feed rollers and the platen, the rotation of the platen gear causes the paper to be fed. The
feeding direction is indicated by the arrow in the Figure.
The paper is held against the platen by the spring force of the paper-feed rollers, and can be released
by shifting the
paper-release lever forward.
