3.2.2.4 Paper pulling-in, registration, feeding and ejecting mechanisms
These mechanisms are driven via a gear train by two motors--paper feed motor located on the
left side of the engine chassis and ASF motor on the right side. (See the illustration on the next
page.)
The following illustration is a cross-sectional view of the machine viewed from the right. Place
the recording paper face down in paper tray #1
bends upward, heads back toward the front, passes under the head/carriage unit for printing, and
finally comes out onto the top of the paper tray cover.
The machine supports three paper feed modes--"normal SF mode," "high-speed feed mode,"
and "LT mode." Depending upon the selected print quality and paper tray, any of those three
modes applies as listed below.
