Upon receiving the paper feed signal, the Paper Feed Clutch is turned on to rotate the Paper Feed Roller.

Only the sheet on the top in the Cassette is fed out by the Friction Pad.

When the paper fed into the machine activates the Registration Sensor, the Paper Feed Clutch is turned off. Once the toner pattern formed on the transfer belt is moved to the correct position, the Registration Clutch is turned on to feed the paper to the Image Transfer Unit.
