Media separation mechanism

• Rotation of the main motor is transmitted through the media feed clutch to thereby drive
the feed roller.
• The feed roller rotates to take up and feed media into the main body.
• Double-feeding of media is prevented by the separation roller provided with a torque lim-
iter.
18.3.3

Media feed control

• Rotation of the main 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.
• As the trailing edge of the media reaches a point immediately before the feed roller, the
feed roller is stopped.
