Media feed control

• Rotation of the transport motor is transmitted through the media feed clutch to drive the
feed roller to take up and feed the media.
• The media taken up and fed in is conveyed onto the registration roller.
• The media is pressed against the stationary registration roller so that a loop is formed in
the media. The feed roller is then stopped. The loop thus formed in the media corrects
any mechanical skew in the media.
17.3.4

Media empty condition detection control

• A media empty condition is detected when the empty sensor actuator blocks the media
empty sensor.
• No mechanism is provided for detecting a media near-empty condition. The media sup-
ply level indicator serves this purpose.
