IV. MULTI-FEEDER PICK-UP
A.

Overview

The multi-feeder is the mechanism which continuously picks-up paper stored in the
multi-feeder tray. The paper is picked-up from the top.
The paper in the tray is lifted up by the lifter plate and pressed down by the multi
feeder pick-up roller. The multi-feeder pick-up roller is driven by the main motor (M601),
via the solenoid and gear. The paper is fed one sheet at a time through the use of the
multi-feeder pick-up roller and separation pad to the registration roller. This series of
operations takes place for every pick-up.
The multi-feeder paper size is designated by the user in the control panel.
