3.1.2 ASF method

With this method, the recording paper is loaded directly in the pickup

entrance on the facsimile body. Though the number of paper sheets that

can be loaded in one operation is not as much as the cassette method, a fea-

ture of this method is that it allows the mechanism to be designed more

compactly. The same configuration is also adopted in the sub-pickup meth-

ods of units that adopt the cassette method. Claw separation and friction

plate separation methods are available as the separation method used in

ASF methods. The principle of operation is the same as the separation

method in the cassette method.
