Paper Pick for Trays 2 - 4 Note Trays 3 and 4 are optional 525-Sheet Feeders. To pick a sheet of paper, the media path drive starts the process. The pick clutch engages to turn the pick roller and the nudger roller. The nudge roller advances one sheet of paper forward into the pick nip. The retard roller prevents two sheets from advancing. The sheet of paper continues past the take away rollers until the sheet completes the deskew process. When using the optional 525-sheet feeder, paper is pre-picked from the tray and staged in the paper path while the printer is printing previous pages. The deskew process uses a reverse/buckle deskew for all three paper paths. The paper is first driven against non-rotating rollers. The rollers reverse during simplex, causing a buckle in the paper. This ensures that the leading edge is straight to prevent skewing. The deskew rollers will not reverse during duplex printing.

Paper Pick for Trays 2 - 4

Note

Trays 3 and 4 are optional 525-Sheet Feeders.

To pick a sheet of paper, the media path drive starts the process. The pick clutch

engages to turn the pick roller and the nudger roller. The nudge roller advances one

sheet of paper forward into the pick nip. The retard roller prevents two sheets from

advancing. The sheet of paper continues past the take away rollers until the sheet

completes the deskew process. When using the optional 525-sheet feeder, paper is

pre-picked from the tray and staged in the paper path while the printer is printing

previous pages.

The deskew process uses a reverse/buckle deskew for all three paper paths. The paper

is first driven against non-rotating rollers. The rollers reverse during simplex, causing

a buckle in the paper. This ensures that the leading edge is straight to prevent skewing.

The deskew rollers will not reverse during duplex printing.
