10. PAPER FEED AND REGISTRATION
10.1 OVERVIEW
This model has two paper feed stations. The first feed station is located on
the right side of the copier and the second feed station is located inside the
copier. The first feed station uses a cassette [A] which can load 500 sheets,
and the second feed station uses a drawer type tray [B] which can load 250
sheets. Paper can also be fed using the manual feed table [C], which utilizes
the feed mechanism of the first feed station.
The first feed station uses a FRR feed system. Rotation of the pick-up roller
[D] drives the top sheet of paper from the cassette to the feed and the
reverse rollers. The feed [E] and reverse [F] rollers then take over the paper
drive. If more than one sheet is fed by the pick-up roller, the reverse roller
rotates in the opposite direction and prevents all but the top sheet from
passing through to the registration rollers [G].
The second feed station uses the semicircular feed roller [H] and corner
separator [I] system. The semicircular feed roller makes one rotation to drive
the top sheet of paper to the relay rollers [J], which then feed the sheet to the
registration rollers. The corner separator allows only one sheet to feed.
