[A]: Normal position
[B]: Thick paper position
[C]: Thin paper position
The user can change the pick-up roller pressure by changing the position of the
pressure adjustment lever.
If paper feed jams frequently occur, the lever should be moved to the left or the
right to adjust the pressure.
If non-feed or multi-sheet feed problems still occur, the paper separation
pressure can also be adjusted. (This should be done by a technician; 3.6.2)
By loosening then moving the screw [D] up or down, the spring [E], which applies
pressure to the friction pad block [F], moves up or down.
The default position of the screw [D] is at the next to highest position.
