1.7.4 Separating Mechanism
Movable Separator Guide Plates are used in the Document Separating
Mechanism. The height of the 1st and 2nd Separator Guide Plates can be
adjusted by a lever or screws, respectively.
Lowering the Guide Plates can reduce the occurrence of Smudging on the
back of documents and smearing of the document image by reducing the
number of documents delivered of the Separator Roller.
Both 1st and 2nd Separator Guide Plates have been set in the raised position at the
time of shipment from the factory.
The Separator Pad is designed to be pressed against the Separator Rollers.
This ensures that documents are transported one by one even if two or more
documents are fed from the Take-Up Roller.
