Paper Pulling-In, Registration, Feeding And Ejecting Mechanisms - Brother MFC260C Service Manual

Paper pulling-in, registration, feeding and ejecting mechanisms

These mechanisms are driven by a single paper feed motor located on the left side of the engine
chassis via a gear train. (See the illustration on the next page.)
The following illustration is a cross-sectional view of the machine viewed from the right. Place the
recording paper face down in the paper tray. This paper first proceeds to the rear, bends upward,
heads back toward the front, passes under the head/carriage unit for printing, and finally comes out
onto the top of the paper tray cover.

The machine supports two paper feed modes--"normal SF mode" and "high-speed feed mode." The
latter mode applies when the "Fast" print quality is selected and the former mode, when any other
print quality is selected.
