The cut sheet fed from the front (ejection unit) of the printer is fed to the rear of the printer [1], and then fed onto to platen [2] for printing.
This method of feeding paper can be used only when an accept media type is selected from the Manual Feed menu in the use mode. If you select the Manual Feed
menu, the pinch roller unit moves up to allow you to feed paper from the front of the printer according to the message shown on the operation panel.
The pinch roller unit is moved up and down by the lift motor. The cam which is also operated by the lift motor via gears moves up and down the pinch roller.
