CHAPTER 6 PICKUP/FEDING SYSTEM
2.2 Controlling the Pickup from the Multifeeder Tray
2.2.1 Outline
The manual feed pickup operation is designed to enable continuous pickup of sheets of
paper stacked in the multifeeder tray.
The paper in the tray is held up by the holding plate, and is forced against the manual
feed pickup roller. The drive of the manual pickup roller comes from the main motor
(M101) by way of the manual pickup solenoid (SL101) and a gear.
The manual pickup roller and the manual pickup separation pad make sure that only
one sheet of paper is picked and sent to the registration roller.
This series of operations is performed for each single sheet of paper.
The size of paper placed in the multifeeder tray is as selected by the user in the control
panel.
