Paper Feed Drive
The feed/development motor [A] drives the pick-up and feed mechanism of both the upper and second
paper feed stations through gears and the paper feed clutches [B].
When the paper feed clutch turns on, the pick-up roller, paper feed roller, and separation roller start rotating
to feed the paper. The paper feed clutch stays on until shortly after the registration sensor [C] actuates.
Pick-Up and Separation Roller Release Mechanism
When the paper tray [A] is not inside the machine, the separation roller [B] is away from the paper feed
roller [C] and the pick-up roller [D] stays in the upper position.
