• The user can change the pick-up roller pressure by changing the position of the
pressure adjustment lever [D].
• If paper feed jams frequently occur, the lever [D] should be moved to the left or
the right to adjust the pressure.
• If non-feed or multi-sheet feed problems still occur, the paper separation
pressure can also be adjusted by the lever [E].
• If there is still a paper feed problem, the technician can adjust the paper
separation pressure by loosening then moving the screw [F] up or down.
• For the Chinese model, the separation pressure adjustment lever [E] has 4 levels.
For the other models, a screw [G] is attached so that the lever [E] cannot move
down more than level 3.
