Rear Feeding Mechanism
 Overview
This mechanism feeds the paper set on the Hopper to the intermediate feeding
mechanism. The retard separation method is used for paper separation.
The rear feeding mechanism is driven by the ASF Motor.
Since the ASF Motor drives the pick-up mechanism and intermediate feeding
mechanism, the ASF Clutch Gear and Rear ASF Solenoid Assy turn the drive
force ON/OFF so that the LD Roller rotates during the rear feed only.
