6.9.2 PAPER FEED DRIVE
The paper feed motor [A] drives the pick-up and feed mechanisms in tray 1 [B], tray 2 [C]. It
uses clutches and complex trains of gears to do this.
When tray 1 and tray 2 are inside the machine, their pick-up rollers [D][E] are always in
contact with each top sheet of the paper stack ( Paper Lift). When the paper feed clutch
[F] for tray 1 turns on, the pick-up, feed [J] and separation [K] rollers start rotating to feed
the paper. The paper from tray 2 is also fed in the same way.
The paper feed clutch stays on until shortly after the registration sensor activates.
6.9.3 PICK-UP AND SEPARATION ROLLER RELEASE
MECHANISM
When the tray is installed in the machine, the rear [A] of the tray pushes the lever [B], and
this lever pushes down the pick-up roller [C] onto the paper. This turns the tray lift sensor
[D] "OFF".
