F. Multifeeder
1. Outline
The multifeeder is a mechanism in which a stack of copy paper placed on the multifeeder tray is picked
up one by one from the top.
The copy paper stacked on the tray is pushed against the pick-up roller by the paper guide. The drive
of the multifeeder pick-up roller comes from the main motor (M1) through the multifeeder pick-up clutch
(CL2).
The multifeeder pick-up roller and the separation pad make sure that only one sheet of copy paper is
picked up and fed to the registration roller. This series of operations is repeated for each pick-up opera-
tion.
