I. PICK-UP/FEEDING SYSTEMA. OutlineThe machine uses a center reference method, in which paper is moved along thecenter of the pick-up/feeding path with the aim of improving pick-up/feeding performance.The pick-up system consists of the front paper deck, cassettes, and multifeederassembly; in addition, the system includes the holding tray assembly and the holding trayfeeding assembly for making two-sided/overlay copies.The feeding system has two feeding paths: for on-sided copies and for two-sided/overlay copies (through the holding tray assembly and the holding tray feedingassembly) The paths are separated by a delivery paper deflecting plate.When making one-sided copies, the copy paper picked up from the cassette, frontpaper deck, or multifeeder, is controlled by the registration roller so that its leading edgematches the leading edge of the photosensitive drum; the paper is then moved throughthe transfer, separation, feeding, fixing, and delivery assemblies and then ultimately tothe copy tray.When making two-sided/overlay copies, on the other hand, copy paper is stacked onthe holding tray after fixing on its first side; it is then picked up from the holding tray forfixing on its second side, and is sent through the holding tray feeding assembly and thento the copy tray through the same path as a one-sided copy.CHAPTER 5 PICK-UP/FEEDING SYSTEM5-1COPYRIGHT © 1997 CANON INC.
