• The bypass paper feed motor switches on and rotates the pick-up roller [1] and paper feed rollers
[2].
• The bypass paper feed clutch [3] activates and raises its pawl [4]. This releases the pick-up roller and
allows it to rotate.
• When the pick-up roller, a half roller, rotates through its arc of 180 degrees it picks up one sheet of
paper and pulls it out of the tray.
• A rubber friction pad [5] below the pick-up roller provides enough resistance to stop any sheet other
than the one in contact with the pick-up roller from double feeding.
• Once the pick-up roller completes its arc of rotation (as shown above), the pawl [4] of the paper feed
clutch [3] locks the pick-up roller and will not release it until the next sheet feeds.
• However, the clutch allows the paper feed rollers [2] to continue to rotate and feed the sheet out of
the bypass tray.
