(3) Paper Pressure Releasing Mechanism

• If the drawer is pulled out while the paper is between the Feed Roll and the Separator
Roll, the paper is left in the copier. Removal of the paper is difficult. With this copier, slid-
ing out the drawer automatically disengages the paper and Paper Take-Up/Feed Roll.
• The Paper Pressure Releasing Mechanism makes it easier to remove a sheet of paper
held between the Feed Roll and Paper Separator Roll by just sliding out the drawer.
When the drawer is pulled out, the pressure release rail pushes down the Separator Roll
Assy, disengaging the Feed Roll from the Separator Roll.
