Paper Feeder

What is Paper Feeder?

A paper feeder is a component of a printer that is responsible for feeding paper into the printer for printing.

It is typically located at the front or top of the printer and can accommodate various sizes and types of paper, such as letter, legal, or photo paper. Paper feeders may use various mechanisms to feed the paper, including friction feeders, air feeders, and vacuum feeders. Friction feeders use rubber or silicone rollers to grip and move the paper through the printer, while air and vacuum feeders use a stream of air or suction to move the paper. Paper feeders may also include additional features, such as automatic duplexing, which allows for double-sided printing, and automatic document feeders (ADFs), which allow for the scanning or copying of multiple pages at once. Overall, the paper feeder is a critical component of a printer, as it ensures that the paper is fed into the printer correctly and consistently, resulting in high-quality prints.
