RECORDING SECTION
(2) Reverse roller method
The recording paper is separated by applying torque in the counterclock-
wise direction (opposite to the pickup direction) to the reverse roller.
• Operation before paper pickup
Torque in the counterclockwise direction is applied to the separation roller,
or is applied to the reverse roller via a torque limitter. However, as the
torque of the reverse roller is smaller than the torque of the separation
roller, the reverse roller is pulled back to the separation roller to rotate in
the clockwise direction (pickup direction).
• Operation during normal paper pickup
The reverse roller is pulled back onto the recording paper, and rotates in
the clockwise direction (pickup direction).
