feed roller forward

ˆ
This new mechanism ensures that the feed and separation rollers do not stick
together at the start of a job just after the machine leaves standby mode.
ˆ
When the feed roller reverses at the start of the job, a small arm pushes the feed
roller slightly forward so that it comes away from the separation roller.
ˆ
If the rollers stay stuck together, the motor may not be able to turn the rollers.
When reversing at the start of the job, only a small amount of power is applied from
the motor, and this may not be enough to unstick the rollers.
