PIM (Paper Input Module)

The PIM has three paper trays.
The paper trays are sealed to prevent the inflow of outside air and maintain humidity. This prevents the media from gaining or losing moisture, which reduces curling and waving. In addition, separation air is used to achieve stable paper feeding.
