6.1. Scanning / Transmit Mechanism
The transmit mechanism consists of components which feed, scan and eject documents, as well as send
signals. These components and their functions are as follows:
6.1.1. ADF Mechanism
The ADF (Automatic Document Feeder) automatically feeds paper into the unit, and consists of ADF roller
and separation rubber. The document is placed face up on the Document Tray before being fed into the
unit. The ADF Roller feeds individual pages into the scanning area.
The Separation Rubber separates documents placed on the ADF, preventing multiple feeding.

Transmit Guide, Control Panel Chassis, Feed Roller, Eject Roller, and Eject Pinch Roller and Feed Pinch
Roller. This unit also provides the white scanning area and serves as a base for electronic white reference.

Transmit Mechanism Drive System
This system feeds documents through the transmitting mechanism, and consists of rollers, gears and a
stepper motor.
The Motor, a stepper motor, controlled by the CPU, drives the ADF roller, feed roller and eject roller, with the
speed based on the density of the picture information.
The Feed Roller feeds the document to the scanning point and ejects the document out of the machine.

The verification stamp unit stamps the "X" mark on the face of the document after the document is
successfully transmitted or stored.
