The gear train of the slip paper feed assembly consists of the journal paper feed motor gear, J/S
switching gear (moved by the J/S switching solenoid to the slip paper feed gear train), paper
feed reduction gear, slip paper feed roller, and gear of auxiliary slip paper feed roller.
Since the driving force of the journal paper feed motor is transmitted via the gear train to the slip
paper feed roller and the slip paper holder roller, the slip paper is controlled from both sides.
