When the paper feed station is selected for a job, the paper feed motor [B] and
grip motor [C] turn on.
When the feed motor turns on, it drives the feed roller. It also drives the pick-up
roller because the pick-up roller is linked to the feed roller by an idle gear.
When the paper feed station is set in the mainframe, the separation lift lever
rises. As a result, the separation roller contacts the paper feed roller and turns
with the feed roller, unless more than one sheet of paper is fed. The two trays of
the LCIT unit use the standard FRR mechanism.
When the paper feed motor turns on after the pick-up solenoid has turned on, the
pick-up roller lowers until it contacts the top sheet of the paper stack and then
sends it to the paper feed and separation rollers.
