Slide 132
Removing paper tray reduces pressure on friction pad, enabling easier jam clearing.
As paper cassette slides in, front of cassette pushes in friction pad lever, raising friction pad to
level of paper stack. When pick-up roller rotates, it pulls sheet over friction pad. If more than one
sheet is picked up, the friction pad will catch the lower sheet and prevent it from feeding. (This
mechanism prevents double feeds.)
The pick-up roller feeds sheet to nip of feed rollers. Paper feed clutch disengages pick-up roller and
stops its rotation. Feed rollers continue to feed sheet out of tray and into vertical feed path.
