Pick-up mechanism
• The pick-up solenoids /Up and /Lw turn ON to pick up the paper.
• The release arm held upward by the spring lifts up the pick-up roller mounting plate to
release the pick-up roller.
• When the pick-up solenoids /Up and /Lw turn ON, the release arm moves backward, and
then the pick-up roller mounting plate and the pick-up roller fall down by their own weight.
• The pick-up roller driven by the transfer motor presses the paper and picks it up to trans-
fer it to the separation section.
