2.5.3.2 Sprocket Feed Operation
When the printer is using the sprocket feed method, the holes in the paper are set over the sprocket
pins along the sprocket wheel.
The paper feed motor is driven to rotate the gears, via the pinion on the shaft of the motor, in the direction
shown in Figure 2-40. Rotating the gears rotates the sprocket wheels, which advances the paper in
the direction shown by the arrow.
For the sprocket feed method, the pressure of the paper feed rollers against the platen is released by
shifting the release lever forward.
