Paper pulling-in and registration mechanism N Friction gear (1) Secondary gear C Middle gear B (Idle gear) ASF Supply gear /\ \ Friction gear (2), idling Secondary gear A (2) Feed gear Middle gears Exit gear Secondary gear A (1) Motor gear Paper feed motor Secondary gear B If the paper feed motor rotates clockwise, the rotational torque is transmitted via the gear train to the supply gear built in the auto sheet feeder (ASF). The supply gear rotates once counterclockwise to pull in paper from the ASF, a sheet at a time. Since the gear is a sector gear, it will stop when the toothless section comes to the joint with the mating middle gear B (idle gear). The motor continues to rotate clockwise for driving the registration mechanism. The rotational torque is transmitted via the gear train to the feed gear that rotates counterclockwise. This registers the leading edge of the pulled-in paper. III - 6

If
the
paper

motor
rotates
clockwise,
the
rotational
torque
is
transmitted
via
the
gear
train
to
the
supply
gear
built
in
the

(ASF).
The

rotates
once
counterclockwise
to

Since
the

it

when
the

with

(idle

The

continues
to
rotate

for
driving
the

mechanism.
The
rotational
torque
is
transmitted
via
the

train
to
the
feed
gear
that
rotates
counterclockwise.
This
registers
the
leading

of
