Canon NP6218, FY8-13EX-000 service manual IV. Multifeeder, PS5

CHAPTER 5 PICK-UP/FEEDING SYSTEM

IV. MULTIFEEDER

A. Outline

The multifeeder is designed to pick up paper loaded on its tray and is capable of continuous pick-up operation.

Paper on the tray is detected by the multifeeder sensor (PS5).

Paper loaded on the tray is butted against the pick-up roller by the paper guide plate; the drive from the main motor (M1) is transmitted to the pick-up roller through a clutch to rotate the pick-up roller.

By the work of the pick-up roller and the separation pad, a single sheet of copy paper is forwarded to the registration roller.

The series of operations is executed for each pick-up operation.
