5.2 Pickup Operation
5.2.1 Pickup from the Cassette
5.2.1.1 Outline
Paper is picked up from the cassette under the control of the CPU on the DC controller
PCB and using the drive of the main motor (M1). When the cassette pickup solenoid (SL2)
goes ON, the drive of the main motor (M1) is transmitted to the cassette pickup roller as-
sembly to rotate the cassette pickup roller.
When the cassette pickup roller rotates, a single sheet of paper is separated from the stack
by the separation claws of the cassette, and is sent as far as the registration shutter by way of
the vertical path roller.
