ORIGINAL FEED

7.2 ORIGINAL SEPARATION MECHANISM

[B]
The feed roller [A] and the friction belt [B] are used to feed in and separate
the originals [C]. Only the bottom original is fed because the friction belt
prevents any other originals from feeding.
Original feed starts when the pick-up lever [D] presses the original stack and
the pick-up roller [E] advances the bottom original of the stack. The feed
roller moves the original past the friction belt because the driving force of the
feed roller is greater than the resistance of the friction belt. The friction belt
prevents multiple feeds because the resistance of the friction belt is greater
than the friction between original sheets.
