Paper Lifters Operation Theory

As the carrier applies pressure against the clutch lever, located in
the gear box assembly, the left and right paper lifters engage,
positioning the media into the printer. Media is then pulled through
the printer by the combination of torque action between the paper
feed motor and the large feed roller, and friction between the paper
feed motor and the media.
