Q2431-90912 Chapter 5 Theory of operation 91
The pickup roller, activated by the solenoid, rotates once, picking up the media inside the 500-
sheet tray. The separation roller removes any unnecessary sheets and the media travels to the
pre-feed sensor (PS102).
The sheet then reaches the registration assembly, where its skew is corrected. Then it goes
through transfer, separation, and fusing stages; passes through the delivery unit; and is
delivered to the output bin.
Note The 500-sheet feeder detects pickup and feed jams in the same way as the printer. See “Printer
jam detection” on page 87.
