The paper feed motor [A] drives feed, pick-up, and separation rollers in trays 1, 2,
and 3 via timing belts, clutches [B], and gears. The paper feed motor also drives
the vertical transport rollers. Drive is transferred to each of the three vertical
transport rollers by a vertical relay clutch [C], and to the relay roller by the relay
clutch [D].
The by-pass feed motor [E] drives the relay roller and all the rollers in the by-pass
tray via gears and a clutch [F].
The third vertical relay clutch has a one-way-gear [G]. This prevents the clutch from
slipping when the knob [H] is turned to remove jammed paper in the paper feed
tray and vertical transport area.
