Pick-off Pawls

The pick-off pawls aid the paper separation process. They ensure that thin,
low-stiffness paper or curled paper separates from the drum.
The pick-off pawls are not kept constantly in contact with the drum. Just
after the registration clutch turns on, the CPU actuates the pick-off sole-
noid. The solenoid remains energized for 800 milliseconds; this allows time
for the leading edge of the paper to pass the pick-off section.
