6.11.2 PAPER FEED DRIVE MECHANISM
The main motor [A] drives the pick-up and
feed mechanism of both the first and
second paper trays. The paper feed
clutches [B] transfer drive from this motor
to the paper feed rollers [C].
When the paper feed clutch turns on, the
feed roller starts to feed the paper. The
paper feed clutch stays on until shortly
after the registration sensor has been
activated.
6.11.3 PAPER FEED AND SEPARATION MECHANISM
The paper feed roller [A] drives the top
sheet of paper from the paper tray to
the copier. The friction pad [B] allows
only one sheet to feed at a time. The
friction pad applies pressure to the feed
roller with a spring [C].
The friction pad pressure cannot be
adjusted.
