9. PAPER FEED AND REGISTRATION

9.1 OVERVIEW

This model has three paper feed stations [A][B][C]. Each cassette has a
capacity of 250 sheets. As an option, a 1000 sheet large capacity tray [D] can
be installed in the third paper feed station [C]. Paper can also be fed using
the manual feed table [E] which utilizes the first feed station feed mechanism.
The first feed station uses a FRR feed system. A grip roller [H] is installed in
the first feed station to prevent skewing when using small sized paper. The
second and third feed stations use a friction pad system. The third feed sta-
tion uses a relay roller [F] and an auxiliary roller to help guide the paper to the
registration roller.
When the LCT is installed in the third paper feed station, the pick-up roller [G]
will also be installed.
