This copier has one paper feed station and a by-pass feed table [A].
The paper feed station uses a paper tray [B] which can load 250 sheets. The
by-pass feed table can load 1 sheet.
The paper tray uses the semicircular feed roller [C] and corner separator [D]
system. The semicircular feed rollers (six rollers) make one rotation to drive
the top sheet of papers to the relay rollers [E], which then feed the paper to
the registration rollers [F].
The paper tray has two corner separators, which allow only one sheet to
feed. They also serve to hold the paper stack.
When the paper tray is closed after the paper is loaded, the paper tray
pushes the tray set switch. This informs the CPU that the paper tray is set.
The auto start system is used for the by-pass feed table. When copy paper is
inserted into the by-pass table, paper will be fed into the copier automatically
without having to press the Start key.
This machine has no sensors or switches to detect the paper size.
