3.4 Paper Feed Unit

3.4.1 Functions of the paper feed unit

a) Paper feed function
This printer has two paper supply methods, using the auto-sheet feeder in
automatic paper feed mode, or the manual feed slot. The built-in auto-sheet feeder,
driven by the paper feed motor and loaded with paper, supplies paper into the
printer automatically. Also, feeding of postcards and envelopes can be performed
automatically without operating a mechanical paper selection lever. Manual paper
feeding also can be performed, even if paper is set in the auto-sheet feeder. When
paper is detected by the paper end sensor (photointerruptor-type), it will be fed
automatically to the print start position on the platen. Paper feeding action during
printing is controlled by the control of the paper feed rollers. The printed paper will
be ejected from the printer by the paper eject rollers.
