Paper Separating Mechanism
Each cassette has fingers that separate the top sheet of paper from
the rest of the paper stack during paper take-up. When the paper
take-up roll starts to turn, the turning force transmits to the top sheet
of paper. The transmitted force overcomes the block of the fingers,
causing the top sheet of paper to ride over the fingers and feed out
of the cassette into the printer. The paper transport force obtained
through friction with the top sheet of paper is weak and does not
allow the second sheet of paper to ride over the block of the fingers.
