1. When the paper is set on the Hopper, and the scanning command
is issued from PC, the Hopper rises and the paper will be brought
into contact with Paper Feed Roller.
2. The Conveyor Motor activates to rotate the Conveyor Roller 1
through 5.
3. The Paper Feed Motor activates to rotate the Paper Feed and
Separation Rollers. The Paper Feed Roller picks up a page. A
spring attaches the Retard Roller to the Separation Roller. The
supporting axis of the Retard Roller is connected to the fixed gear
through the torque limiter and the timing belt’s gear train. In case
there is only one page picked up between Separation Roller and
Retard Roller, the Retard Roller rotates in direction which the
Separation Roller rotates by allowing the Retard Roller to slip on
the torgue limiter. If there are two or more pages between
Separation Roller and Retard Roller, torque limiter is set so that
the load of the torque limiter increases accordingly, to allow slip
friction for each page. As a result of this, only the top page passes
through the conveyor section, and the additional pages are
prevented from passing through.
