The planet gear F moves to the direction of arrow G,and drives rollers A and B. The roller C is linked to pulley I which is on the same shaft as roller A, and it also turns atthe same time as roller A. The paper is fed for a predesignated distance until the leading edge reaches roller C.(2) Next, the hopping motor rotates in the direction of arrow E. The planet gear F moves to the direction of arrow H,and drives idle gear J. The rotation of idle gear J is transmitted to the gears linked to it, and drives pulley I on thesame shaft as roller A, turning roller C to feed the paper into the printer, until it reaches the registration roller of theprinter. During this process, a one-way bearing is engaged at pulley I so that the rotation of pulley I is not transmittedto roller A, preventing any feeding of papers by roller A.Copyright 1998, Okidata, Division of OKI America, Inc.
