Paper feed process

Media tray paper feed
When the media tray is inserted into the printer, the media feed lift motor causes the bottom plate of the tray to
elevate, in order to press the media against the feed roll. At the same time, the pick roll is also lowered and
pressed against the media, in preparation for feeding.
Bottom plate
As the paper feed is starting, the pick roll rotates to insert the media between the feed roll and the separation
roll. The separation roll separates the media to make sure that only one sheet at a time is fed.
