Separation Roller Pressure Release Mechanism - Ricoh C226 Service Manual

PAPER FEED SECTION
5.4 SEPARATION ROLLER PRESSURE RELEASE
MECHANISM
[A]

[C]
[D]
[E]
When printing is finished or a misfeed occurs, the paper table drive motor will
rotate for 500 milliseconds to lower the paper table. The paper on the paper
table will move down from the paper feed roller [D] and the paper feed
bracket [A] is pulled down by its own weight.
At this time, the shaft [B] will push down the left separation lever [C] and this
will move the lower separation roller [E] slightly downward.
This mechanism will make it easier to remove paper that is caught between
the upper and lower separation rollers.
