CHAPTER 5 PICK-UP/FEEDING SYSTEM
5-9 P
3.2 Outline
The paper inside the cassette is held up by the lifter, and remains in contact with the
pickup roller when pickup takes place:
(1) The pickup motor (M2) is used to drive the pickup roller. The pickup roller is moved
down in relation to the feeding roller, and is brought into contact with paper only when
pickup takes place.
(2) The pickup roller is moved down when the cam released by the DOWN solenoid
(SL1) rotates by the drive of the main motor (M1).
The feeding roller and the separation roller serve to make sure that only one sheet of pa-
per from the pickup roller is sent to the feeding path; the No. 2 registration roller and the
vertical path roller then forwards the paper as far as the registration roller.
The drive for the vertical path roller and the No. 2 registration roller is provided by the
pickup motor (M2) through the vertical path clutch (CL1).
The registration roller is driven by the registration motor (M9).
