Normal feed-in
In a copy mode other than those listed above, when the reduction/enlargement ratio has been determined, the originals are scanned normally. In order to store the scanned images, a large area of memory (the detected original width x 432 mm length) is prepared. Next, only the portion of the image up to the detected original length is read from memory and printed.
2.2.3 PICK-UP AND SEPARATION
The original is set with the image facing up. The original pushes actuator and the original set sensor is activated.
After pressing the start button, the pick-up motor is activated and the original feed unit [A] moves down. At the same time, the ADF feed motor is activated and the pick-up roller [B] feeds original to the feed belt [C].
After being fed from feed belt [C], the topmost sheet is separated from the stack by the separation roller [D] and sent to the skew correction roller.
The mechanism is an FRR system, consisting of the original feed belt [C] and separation roller [D].
