1 When the front edge of the paper passes by the pickup roller, the pulse motor of the
front feeder turns left (in the direction of "b" to drive the cam. The cam moves up the
pinch roller 2. Although the one-way clutch gear A is also rotating, the hopping roller
of the front feeder does not rotate by means of the one-way clutch.
2 When the rear edge of the paper passes by the Entrance sensor 2, the pulse motor
of the front feeder turns left (in the direction of "b") to drive the cam. The cam moves
down the pinch roller 2 until it is sensed by the sensor. Although the one-way clutch
gear A is also rotating, the hopping roller of the front feeder does not rotate by means
of the one-way clutch.
