The basic functions of the card feed
system are the same as those of the
document feed system, but the card feed
system has a feed path dedicated to cards.
The feed path dedicated to cards is lo-
cated on the right side of the machine body,
and the insertion and eject openings of the
card feed path are located on the eject side
of the document feed path.

When a card is placed in the insertion
opening, the card sensor detects the card
and feeding begins. The feed motor runs
reversely at this time. The card is fed straight
and passes through the reading section.
Then, the rotation direction of the feed motor
is changed to normal direction, and the feed
direction of the card reverses. Like docu-
ment feeding, the card passes through the
reading unit and the front roller and is
ejected.
As only a single card is placed, no
separation mechanism is required. Like the
document feed system, the card feed sys-
tem has a registration sensor in the regis-
tration roller section to control the beginning
of scanning and detect feed errors.
