Tray 2 cassette multiple-feed prevention
The product uses a separation roller method to prevent multiple sheets of print media from entering the
paper path. The Tray 2 cassette separation roller does not have its own driving force. Therefore the
Tray 2 cassette separation roller follows the rotation of the Tray 2 cassette pickup roller.
During normal feed, when the product picks up one piece of paper, the Tray 2 cassette separation
roller is driven by the Tray 2 cassette pickup roller through one sheet of paper. Thus the separation
roller rotates in the paper feed direction.
During multiple-feed, when the product picks up more than one piece of paper, the low friction force
between the sheets weakens the driving force from the Tray 2 cassette pickup roller. In addition, some
braking force is always applied to the Tray 2 cassette separation roller, so the weak rotational force of
