Multifeeder; Outline - Canon NP6218 Service Manual

IV. MULTIFEEDER
A. Outline
The multifeeder is designed to pick up paper loaded on its tray and is capable of
continuous pick-up operation.
Paper on the tray is detected by the multifeeder sensor (PS5).
Paper loaded on the tray is butted against the pick-up roller by the paper guide plate;
the drive from the main motor (M1) is transmitted to the pick-up roller through a clutch to
rotate the pick-up roller.
By the work of the pick-up roller and the separation pad, a single sheet of copy paper
is forwarded to the registration roller.
The series of operations is executed for each pick-up operation.
