Paper feed mechanism
This mechanism feeds one sheet of picked-up paper to the fuser. There is a paper length sensor in
the paper transport path to prevent temperature rise at the end of the fuser. It detects paper lengths
shorter than 190 mm (7.5 inches). The following is the operational sequence of paper feed.
1. Paper skew is corrected by the registration shutter when the paper is fed into the printer.
2. Toner is transferred to the paper from the photosensitive drum and then the paper is fed to the
fuser/delivery stage.
Skew correction by the registration shutter
If the paper fed into the printer is skewed, it will be adjusted when it hits the registration shutter.
