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.
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.
