Manual feed slot pickup mechanism
This mechanism picks up one sheet of paper only that is inserted into the single-sheet priority feed
slot and then into the printer. This printer does not have a pickup roller in the single-sheet priority
feed slot. Instead of a pickup roller, the registration roller picks up paper. The presence of paper in
the single-sheet priority feed slot is detected by the single-sheet priority feed slot paper sensor
(SR3). The following is the operational sequence of the single-sheet priority feed slot pickup.
1. If paper is set into the single-sheet priority feed slot during STBY mode, the single-sheet priority
feed slot paper sensor (SR3) detects it.
2. When the paper is detected, the DC controller drives the pickup motor (M3) for 5 seconds. The
paper is fed approximately 5 mm (0.2 inch) and is then caught by the registration roller.
3. After the above operational sequence, the paper is fed by the drive of the registration roller.
