2.1.4.2 Paper Feeding Mechanism

The Paper feeding mechanism consists of PF motor, PF roller, Paper eject roller, Paper
end sensor (HP/PE sensor) etc. The Paper feeding mechanism feeds a paper loaded
from ASF unit by using pairs of rollers.
1. One pair is the PF roller and the Paper guide roller which is assembled in the Paper
guide upper/left. The drive of the PF motor is transmitted to the Paper guide roller
through the PF roller.
2. Another pair is the Paper eject roller and the Star wheel which is assembled on the
Front frame. The drive of the PF motor is transmitted to the Star wheel through the
Paper eject roller.
