The IR6000 Foam Pickup Hard is a component used in the Canon imageRUNNER 6000 multifunction printer. It is part of the paper pickup system and is specifically designed to ensure that paper is fed correctly from the input tray into the printer’s internal mechanisms for printing or copying. The foam pickup is responsible for gripping the paper, and this particular version is described as "hard," likely referring to the density or firmness of the foam used for effective paper handling.
