CHAPTER 4. FIRST PAPER FEED SECTION
PAPER STRIP MECHANISM
5.
Paper Strip Mechanism
The paper loaded in the paper feed tray is fed in between the Pickup roller [A] and Stripper pad [B] by the
rotating scraper roller. The paper is then separated by the Pickup roller [A] and Stripper pad [B] to ensure
that only the uppermost sheet is sent into the machine.
The Stripper pad [B] is pressed against the Pickup roller [A] by the force of the Stripper spring [C], and the
resistance applied to the paper fed in separates the sheet.
The stripper-pad angle and stripping pressure can be adjusted by the user using the Stripper pad angle
adjust knob [D] and Stripper pressure adjust knob[E].
