Paper feeding consists of a basic cassette, an MP tray for supplying different types of
media (envelopes, labels, and special paper), duplex unit, and various paper transfer parts.

Separation method

Separation is achieved by a friction pad mounted in the center of the cassette and stopper
roller that uses a spring clutch. A feed roller uses an electronic clutch to control driving
power.
