RECORDING SECTION
• Operation during
double-feeding
The reverse roller rotates in the counterclockwise direction, and the
recording paper (second sheet onwards) on the reverse roller side returns in
the counter-pickup direction. Only the recording paper (first sheet) on the
separation roller side is fed to the printing section.
Fig. 4-16 Reverse Roller Method 3
(3) Friction plate method
The friction plate is held against the pickup roller, and the recording paper
is separated by the stopping power caused by friction. The principle of
operation is the same as the Chapter 3, Document Separation Operation on
page 3-6.
