RECORDING SECTION
3. PAPER FEED SECTION
Fig. 4-12 shows the general path of the recording paper.
One sheet of recording paper is picked up at a time by the pickup roller and
separation roller, and is sent to the printing section by the feed roller. After
printing has ended at the printing section, the recording paper is output to
the outside of the machine by the eject roller.
Next, let's describe the pickup section and feed/eject section.
3.1
Pickup Section
The pickup method is broadly divided into two methods, cassette method
and ASF (Auto Sheet Feeder) method. Even in these two pickup methods,
the pickup method is further categorized according to the separation
method of the recording paper.
3.1.1 Cassette method
With this cassette method, the paper cassette filled with recording paper is
attached onto the body of the facsimile. This method allows a relatively
large amount of paper to be picked up. There are three paper separation
methods for this method: claw method, reverse roller method and friction
plate method.
