The paper feed clutch [A] turns on and the paper feed roller shaft turns in the
direction indicated by the arrow in the illustration. The swing lever [B] is
raised by spring tension until it contacts the stopper [C]. In this condition,
paper feed begins.
When the clutch turns off, the swing arm remains in the raised position. The
separation roller [D] and feed roller [E] can rotate in the direction of paper
return until the swing lever meets the inside stay [F]. Then, the separation
roller and feed roller stop rotating. This operation returns paper between the
reverse and feed rollers to the tray to prevent paper damage when the tray
unit is pulled out.
