This copier has one paper feed station and a by-pass feed table.
The paper feed station uses a paper tray [A] which can hold 250 sheets. The
by-pass feed table [B] can hold 1 sheet.
The paper tray uses two semicircular feed rollers [C] and a corner separator.
The semicircular feed rollers make one rotation to drive the top sheet of the
paper stack to the relay rollers [D].
The paper tray has two corner separators, which allow only one sheet to
feed. They also serve to hold the paper stack.
If a sheet of paper is set on the by-pass feed table, the registration sensor [E]
is actuated and the machine goes to by-pass feed mode.
