(1) Paper Loading from 1st Tray
1. The paper loading motor runs (CCW), the paper loading clutch is engaged and, until the
entrance cassette sensor is turned on, paper is advanced (the on/off operations of the
paper loading clutch control the pickup roller).
2. After the paper turns the entrance cassette sensor on, the paper is forwarded a further
fixed length and touches the registration roller Assy (A) (this corrects paper skew).
3. The electromagnetic clutch is engaged and the paper is carried onto the carrier belt.
