6.4.3 BY-PASS TRAY

The by-pass paper sensor [A] detects when paper is placed on the tray.
The CPU energizes the by-pass clutch [B]. Then the by-pass feed roller [C] starts to feed
paper to the registration roller [D] through the relay roller [E].
The by-pass feed roller shaft has two cams
to press the stack of paper against the feed roller. There is no width sensor.
To prevent bad effects from too much friction between the feed roller and friction
pad, the feed roller contains a metal plate.
