1. The pickup motor reverses when a print command is received from the formatter.
2. When the DC controller turns on the MP tray pickup solenoid, the MP tray pickup roller rotates and the
lifting plate lifts.
3. As the lifting plate rises, the paper is picked up.
4. The multipurpose tray separation pad removes any multiple-fed sheets, and one sheet is fed into the
product.
The MP-tray media-presence sensor (SR8) detects whether paper is present in the MP tray.

Paper feed
After the pickup operation, the paper feeds through the product and into the fuser.
1. The paper picked up from the cassette is fed to the registration unit as the pickup motor rotates. The
paper picked up from the multipurpose tray is fed to the registration unit as the pickup motor rotates.
The duplex model has the duplex feed clutch. The driving force of the pickup motor is transmitted to the
duplex re-pickup roller by turning on the clutch.
2. The registration shutter corrects the skew-feed.
3. When the TOP sensor detects the leading edge of paper, the DC controller stops the paper so that the
media sensor detects the type of paper.
4. The DC controller controls the rotational speed of the pickup motor to align the paper with the leading
edge of the toner image on the ITB.
