Paper feeding system
The paper feeder providing two paper cassettes is fitted to the printer externally at the
bottom of the printer. The printer can be installed with up to 6 cassettes by adding up to two
more paper feeder options (basically the same paper feeder fitted as the standard paper
feeder).
The paper feeding system picks up paper from the cassette or the MP tray. At a precise
timing, it feeds it to the electrophotography system. It finally delivers the printed page to
either the face-down or face-up tray, or to the optional stacker/finisher.
The figure below shows the components in the paper path within the printer. The sensors,
solenoids, etc., are also described in the following pages.
