5.4 PICK-OFF MECHANISM
The pick-off pawl solenoid [A] is energized 12 pulses after the registration
solenoid turns on to feed the copy paper to the drum. The pick-off lever [B]
then rotates clockwise and pushes up the pawl holder [C]. This releases the
two pick-off pawls [D], allowing them to rotate against the drum.
Just after the leading edge of the copy paper passes the transport sensor, the
pick-off solenoid turns off again. The pick-off spring [E] then pushes down the
pawl holder, which moves the pick-off pawls away from the drum.
