PAPER FEEDING SYSTEM

10.4.3 Operation of drawer pickup roller
When the drawer is inserted, the protrusion at the rear side of the drawer moves up the lever (a) to the
direction of A. The pickup roller and roller holder are then lowered by it's own weight.

10.4.4 Separation of paper
The separation roller in this equipment works to separate the sheets being fed. The separation roller
unit consists of the feed roller, separation roller, spring joint, etc., as shown below.
The feed roller is rotated by the feed clutch in the direction of the white arrow at the same timing as the
pickup roller rotation.
The figure at the bottom of this page shows how duplicate feeding is prevented: Since the friction
between two sheets is small, the lower sheet is not transported any further while the upper sheet is
transported by the feed roller in the direction of the black arrow.
