2.2.2 FEED AND SEPARATION
The feed motor [A] switches on, then the pick-up solenoid [B] switches on and
transfers drive to the paper feed roller [C] and pick-up roller [D].
The rotating pick-up roller lowers and feeds the first sheet when it contacts the top
of the stack.
The separation roller [E], in contact with the feed roller, only allows one sheet out of
the tray.
As soon as the paper feed sensor (not shown) detects the leading edge of the
paper, it switches off the pick-up solenoid which raises the pick-up roller. The feed
roller feeds the sheet to the registration roller.
This process is repeated for each sheet.
