17.3 Operation

17.3.1

Media lift plate mechanism

• The media lift plate will be locked under the media lift plate lock lever by pressing it down
(in which the media is loaded in position).
• The media feed clutch causes the feed roller shaft to rotate, which causes the media lift
plate lock lever to follow the motion to thereby release the media lift plate.
• The media lift plate (media stack) is pressed against the feed roller.
• The media lift plate (media stack) is pressed upward by the springs at all times.

Media separation mechanism

• Rotation of the transport motor is transmitted through the media feed clutch to thereby
drive the feed roller.
• The feed roller rotates to take up and feed media into the main body.
• Double-feeding of media is prevented by the separation roller provided with a torque lim-
iter.
