2.2 Paper Feeding System
Before the feed process can start, the user must first load and select a feeder.
When the print job is received, the video controller sends a signal to
the DC control board. If the engine is in standby mode, a short pause occurs
while the fusing unit warms up and initial rotation (INTR) occurs. Finally, the
feed process can start.

The feed process starts when the pickup
motor runs for 0.1 second. Then the
paper feed solenoid energizes which
turns the paper feed roller and moves
a sheet of paper into the nip of the
oblique rollers .
The two oblique rollers drive the sheet forward and sideways into the left side
plate and then into the registration sensor . This action deskews the sheet
squarely aligning it with the axis of the print drum.
When the paper triggers the registration sensor, the paper feed motor pauses
to allow the print drum to rotate into alignment with the leading edge of the
sheet. When these are aligned, the paper feed motor starts and feeds the sheet
into the transfer point.
The paper is supported by the oblique rollers which move the sheet through the
transfer and static elimination areas and into the nip of the fusing rollers .
