Overview Sheet Feeder - 6
Sheet Feeder
An optional 500-sheet feeder is available. As with the
LaserWriter 16/600 PS design, the sheet feeder fits
squarely beneath the printer (or the duplexer, if present)
to form a dual front-loading cassette arrangement. An
envelope cassette is available for the sheet feeder only.
The feeder has a receptacle connector that mates with the
printer and has its own circuit board. However, the feeder
does not have its own motor. Instead it derives mechanical
drive directly from the gear train above, either the pickup
drive assembly in the printer or the intermediate gear train
in the duplexer. There is a pickup roller and pickup
solenoid in the sheet feeder.
