Air Feeding

The Canon imagePRESS is capable of printing on assorted types and brands of paper of varying thicknesses. The systems are supported by Air Feeding technologies, which prevent double-feeding and realize stable paper feed.

Air Feeding supplies air from multiple sources to separate sheets and ensure accurate feed; for example, feeding air blows from the direction of the paper feed from a four-fan unit to separate and feed the sheets.

Side air blows from side fans to separate curled or coated paper sticking to other sheets. Air warmed by a heater in the four-fan unit prevents coated paper from sticking together in hot and humid environments. The paper feed belt is also equipped with air suction to achieve fast and stable feeding.
