17-3. Paper Separating Mechanism

The paper separating mechanism ensures that only the top sheet of paper is fed in by sep-
arating the second sheet of paper from the top one. This is accomplished by the Torque
Limiter fitted to the Separator Roll shaft which stops the Separator Roll when there is a
change in friction between the Feed and Separator Rolls.
