The following table shows the configuration of each feed stations of the
copiers.
Feed station
1st 550 sheets tray
2nd 550 sheets universal tray
3rd 550 sheets tray
Paper can also be fed using the by-pass feed table which has an
independent feed mechanism. The by-pass feed table can hold 50 sheets of
paper.
All feed stations use an FRR feed system. Rotation of the pick-up roller [A]
drives the top sheets of paper from each tray to the feed [B] and the
separation [C] rollers. The feed and separation rollers then take over paper
drive. If more than one sheet is fed by the pick-up roller, the separation rollers
rotates in the opposite direction and prevents all but the top sheet from
passing through to the registration rollers.
