(3) Right cassette paper feed The paper fed by the right-hand cassette is transferred by the PF forwarding roller 1, PF feed roller 1, which are driver by the PF paper feed clutch PFPFCL1. The PF separator roller 1 acts to prevent multiple-page feeding and transfer the paper to the PF feed roller 2 into the device.
(4) Left cassette paper feed The paper from the left-hand cassette is transferred to the PF forwarding roller 2 and PF feed roller 2 which are revolved by the PF feed clutch 2 (PFPFCL2). The PF separator roller 2 acts to prevent multiple-page feeding and transfer the paper to the PF feed roller 2 into the device.
