10.3.2 Paper Feed Mechanism and Paper End Detection
This machine uses a feed roller [A] and friction pad [B] mechanism, with drive
from the main motor [C] transmitted when the by-pass feed clutch [D] turns
on. The friction pad prevents all but the top sheet from feeding. Therefore,
during paper feed, the top sheet of paper is separated from the stack and fed
to the registration rollers.
Before placing paper on the by-pass feed table, the user must lower the
by-pass feed table by using the lever [E]. This is to ensure that the paper is
placed between the friction pad and the feed roller. Then, before starting to
copy, it must be put back up to move the paper stack into contact with the
feed roller.
When there is no paper on the by-pass feed table, the paper end feeler [F]
drops into the cutout in the by-pass feed table and the by-pass feed paper
end sensor is activated.
