magicolor 4650EN magicolor 4650DN Theory of operation Ver. 1.0 Nov. 2007 16. Media feed section (Tray 1) 16.3.2 Media separation mechanism • Drive from the Transport motor is transmitted through the Tray1 media feed clutch to turn the feed roller. • The feed roller rotates to take up and feed media into the main body. • Double-feeding of media is prevented by the separation roller provided with a torque lim- iter. Feed roller Separation roller 4138to2618c0 16.3.3 Media feed control • Drive from the transport motor is transmitted through the tray1 media feed clutch to turn the feed roller, thereby taking up and feeding the media. • The media taken up and fed in is conveyed onto the registration roller. • The media is pressed against the stationary registration roller so that a loop is formed in the media. The feed roller is then stopped. The loop thus formed in the media corrects any mechanical skew in the media. Composition/Operation 59
