(1) Paper feeding from paper cassette
The paper cassette is fit underneath the paper feed unit. The paper stored in the paper cassette is lifted up so that it is
pressed against the pickup roller as the bottom plate in the paper cassette is raised by the lifter mechanism. The sheet at
top is rewound to the pick up roller and sent to the paper feed roller which forward the paper in the printer. In order to pre-
vent paper misfeed during feeding, the retard roller which is positioned face-to-face with the paper feed roller acts to pre-
vent feeding more than one sheet at a turn of the pick up roller. The paper cassette has an opening at the front side. This
opening is a loophole for the paper that is fed by the optional paper feeder or the duplexer which feeds paper into the
printer.
