GP 10 Paper Feed Section
Main Paper Tray/Multi-purpose Tray
Mechanism
• When the Paper Feed Solenoid is energized, the drive of the Main Drive Motor is transmitted to
the Paper Feed Roller via the Paper Feed Gear (one-way clutch) to turn the Paper Feed Roller
one revolution.
• At the same time, the Depressing Cam turns and lifts the Paper Lifting Plate, and the first (top)
sheet of paper on the tray is fed.
• The retard Pad is used for the paper separation system. It prevents the second and subsequent
sheets of paper from being fed together with the top sheet.
• The actual length of the paper is detected using the period of time through which the Paper
Feed Sensor remains energized (or through which the paper moves past the sensor) and it is
determined whether the actual length matches the paper length specified by the controller.
