Paper Feed And Registration - Ricoh FT4430 Service Manual

PAPER FEED AND REGISTRATION

OVERVIEW
This model has two paper feed stations. The first cassette [A] and
cassette are located on the right side of the copier. The capacity of
the cassettes is 250 sheets.
As an option the second cassette can be replaced with a 1,000 sheet large
capacity tray [6]. This would increase the maximum paper capacity to 1,250
sheets.
Paper can also be fed using the manual feed table [E], which utilizes the feed
mechanism of the first feed station.
All two feed stations use the feed roller and friction pad feed mechanism. The
LCT also uses a pick-up roller [C]. During paper feed, the top sheet of paper
separates from the stack and is fed to the registration rollers. The friction pad
prevents all but the top sheet from feeding.
The feed rollers of the first feed station feed the top sheet directly to the
registration rollers [D].
