• Double feeding of paper is prevented using coefficient of friction between the take-up
roller and separator pad.

Single sheet feeding
Multiple sheet feeding : The coefficient of friction between the paper and separator pad is greater

Confidential – for internal use only, do not distribute
: The coefficient of friction on the front side of the paper fed between the take-
