PAPER FEED AND REGISTRATION

10. PAPER FEED AND REGISTRATION

10.1 OVERVIEW

[E]
This copier has one paper feed station and a by-pass feed table.
The paper feed station uses a paper tray [A] which can hold 500 sheets. The
by-pass feed table [B] can hold 80 sheets.
The paper tray uses two semicircular feed rollers [C] and corner separators.
The semicircular feed rollers make one rotation to drive the top sheet of the
paper stack to the relay rollers [D]. The paper tray has two corner separators,
which allow only one sheet to feed. They also hold the paper stack. When the
paper tray is drawn out of the machine, the spring pressure is released, and
the tray bottom plate drops. In addition, there is no need to press the bottom
plate down when putting the tray back in.
The by-pass feed table uses a feed roller and friction pad system to feed the
top sheet of paper to the registration rollers.
In humid environments, copy paper may crease as it comes out of the fusing
unit. The optional tray heater [E] is available as a service part to keep copy
paper dry.
