When the T.O.F. detector and B.O.F. detector determine that a slip has been inserted, the lever
drive coil is energized while the lever drive motor is rotated. At this time, the linkage between
the paper feed trigger attraction plate and lever drive ratchet wheel is disconnected, the lever
drive shaft and lever drive cam rotate, and the sub slip feed lever moves in the direction
indicated by arrow a. (See Figure D-34.) This pushes up the sub slip feed roller, compressing the
sub slip hold roller. At the same time as this, the sub spring feed lever moves the form stopper
in the direction indicated by arrow b (See Figure D-34), completing preparations for feeding the
slip away from the form stopper slip path. (See Figures D-34, 36.)

After this, the paper feed motor is rotated a number of steps corresponding to the slip paper
format in the direction indicated by the arrow. The rotation force is transmitted to the slip feed
roller and sub slip feed roller by the gears, positioning the slip paper at the top. (See Figure
D-37.)
