Paper loading (semi-automatic loading)

When the paper roll is manually inserted into the paper feed roller, the paper detection switch in
the paper path detects the paper, and semi-automatic loading is executed. (Semi-automatic
loading is the function that automatically feeds paper to the top of the paper feed frame
assembly when a paper roll is inserted in the paper path after the detector detects no paper.)

Paper feeding

Paper feeding is performed by conveying the paper feed motor's rotational power from the
paper feed motor gear through the paper feed reduction gear, paper feed gear, and paper feed
roller.
Since the paper feed roller and paper hold roller are pressed together, paper advances to the top
of the paper feed frame assembly because of the friction between the rubber of the paper feed
roller and the paper hold roller.
