| (printer) | friction feed - A method some printers and plotters use to move
paper by rotating one or both of a pair of spring-loaded
rubber-coated rollers with the paper sandwiched between them. Friction feed printers are notorious for slipping when the rollers wear out, but can take standard typing paper. For printers with a sheet feeder, friction feed is more appropriate than sprocket feed which requires the holes in the paper to engage with the sprockets of the feed mechanism. |
