4-2 Paper feeding system
The paper feeding system picks up paper from the cassette, MP tray, or if installed, the paper feeder
PF-17, feeds it in the printer, and delivers in the output tray. Paper is fed at the precise timing in
synchronization with data processing. The paper feeding system finally delivers the printed page to
either the face-down or face-up tray as manipulated by the user.
The figure below shows the components in the paper feeding system and the paths through which
the paper travels. The sensors, clutches, etc., are described in the following pages.
