The pickup/feed system can broadly be divided into the following 2 blocks:
- pickup/feeding assembly, i.e., between the pickup slot (multifeeder/feeder) and fixing assembly inlet
- fixing/delivery assembly, i.e., from fixing assembly to delivery slot
2.4.1.2 Pickup/Feeding Assembly
The pickup/feeding assembly consists of the following: the pickup assembly, which serves to pickup up a single sheet of print paper from the cassette/multifeeder
manual fee tray, and the feeding assembly, which serves to move the incoming paper as far as the fixing assembly. These 2 assemblies have the following functions:
<Cassette>
1. picks up print paper from the cassette
<Multifeeder>
1. picks up printed paper placed in the multifeeder tray
<paper path>
1. corrects the movement of paper by removing skew
2. controls the speed at which paper is moved to suit paper type
