The main motor drive power is transmitted to the gears, and the feed roller and separation roller are rotated. Then, the paper is gripped between the separation roller and separation pad and separated into individual sheets.
The paper drawn out of the paper tray pushes against the regist front actuator, and the absence of paper is detected by the actuator movement. The tail edge actuator detects the end of the paper fed.
