Abstract

The paper feeder incudes an upstream friction roller pair for single sheet feeding, a pushing tractor for endless sheet feeding, and a common downstream (behind the platen) friction roller pair. Each pair has one roller mounted on a pivot lever and the two levers linkedly held in a spring biased linkage such that consistently the downstream roller pair exert a smaller friction force while rotating at a higher speed.
