6.4.1 Friction Paper Feed Mode
This mode is for feeding single sheet paper from the top of the printer in the friction paper feed position. By
operating the paper feed selector, the fixed Clutch Gear is disengaged from the Slide Clutch Gear. As a result,
the Tractor Gear is released from its power transmission mechanism.
When setting the paper feed selector at single sheet paper position, the Friction Roller Gear rotates in a
clockwise direction. As a result, the Friction Roller Shaft revolves, allowing the Friction Rollers to contact the
platen for gripping the paper when feeding. The Friction Roller Gear also pushes the leaf switch to notify the
CPU that the selector is in the" Q " Friction position.

moves the Friction Rollers away from the platen. This enables free paper passage from the rear of the
machine. The Friction Roller Gear also breaks contact with the leaf switch to notify the CPU that the selector is
in the" p]" Tractor position.
