Media separation mechanism

• Drive from the Transport motor is transmitted through the Tray1 media feed clutch to turn
the feed roller.
• The feed roller rotates to take up and feed media into the main body.
• Double-feeding of media is prevented by the separation roller provided with a torque lim-
iter.

Media feed control

• Drive from the transport motor is transmitted through the tray1 media feed clutch to turn
the feed roller, thereby taking up and feeding the media.
• The media taken up and fed in is conveyed onto the registration roller.
• The media is pressed against the stationary registration roller so that a loop is formed in
the media. The feed roller is then stopped. The loop thus formed in the media corrects
any mechanical skew in the media.
