Paper Feeding
This section describes how the printer feeds paper.
Paper feed mechanism
The LQ-200/AP3000 friction feeds single sheet paper and sprocket feeds continuous
paper.
The printer cover and the spring force of the two paper feed rollers hold the paper
against the platen. To release the paper, move the paper release lever forward.
Friction feeding
The paper feed motor rotates the platen gear, via the paper feed reduction gear, in
the direction shown in Figure 2-41. Friction from the platen and paper feed rollers
feeds the paper in the direction shown in Figure 2-41.
