2.7.2 PAPER FEED DRIVE MECHANISM

[A]

[C]
G035D508.WMF
The main motor [A] drives the pick-up and feed mechanisms of both the upper and
second paper feed stations using gears and paper feed clutches [B].
When the paper tray is inside the machine, the pick-up roller is always in contact
with the top sheet of the paper stack (see Pick-up and Separation Roller Release
Mechanism for more detail). When the paper feed clutch turns on, the pick-up,
paper feed, and separation rollers start rotating to feed the paper. The paper feed
clutch stays on until shortly after the registration sensor [C] activates.
