(1) Paper feed and conveying section
The paper feed and conveying section consists of the cassette paper feed section and the MP tray paper feed sec
tion, and the paper conveying section conveying the fed paper to the transfer and separate section.
(1-1) Cassette paper feed and Conveying section
The cassette can load 300 sheets paper (64g/m2) or 250 sheets paper (80g/m2). The cassette forwards paper by
rotating the pickup roller and conveys it to the paper conveying section by rotating the paper feed roller. Multi-feeding
is also prevented by the effect of the retard roller.
The paper conveying section conveys paper to the transfer and separation section. The fed paper is conveyed to
where it turns the registration sensor on by the paper feed roller, and then, conveyed to the transfer and separation
section by the registration rollers.
