CHAPTER 2 BASIC OPERATION
2. Moving Up the Pickup Roller Unit
The pickup roller and the lifter are designed to operate (move up and down) in conjunction with
the separation motor (M1).
n
Separation Motor Rotating Counterclockwise
When the separation motor rotates counterclockwise, the work of a cam disengages the lock used
to keep the pickup roller in place, and the pickup roller starts to move down on its own weight.
In addition, the drive reaches the arm of the lifter, causing the lifter to move up. This operation
moves up the originals while they are held intact in preparation for pickup operation.
