The LCT uses the corner separator system. The paper feed rollers [A] always
contact the top of the paper stack because of the weights [B] on the paper
feed shaft. When the LCT receives the paper feed start command, the paper
feed motor [C] and the transport motor [D] will start to feed the paper. When
the leading edge of the paper activates the relay sensor [E], the paper feed
motor will stop but the transport motor will stay on to feed the paper
continuously. At this time, the paper feed roller is also rotating to help feed
the paper. The gear inside the one-way clutch [F] allows this movement.
When the leading edge of the paper activates the registration sensor of the
main machine, the transport motor will stop.
