Before the first page, and between pages
! First, the feed motor rotates in
reverse. The grip roller turns but the
feed roller does not.
! The separation roller solenoid is off
initially, so the roller is in the down
position, and turns freely.
Slide 418
# Between pages, the grip roller has to turn, because there may still be some
paper in the vertical feed path.
# However, the feed roller must not turn, so that paper does not leave the tray.
# An arrangenent of clutches on the roller shafts ensures that if the feed motor
reverses, the feed roller will not turn.
