5851-7203 part says non flow what does non flow mean

Non Flow means that this ADF is for basic model printers not Workflow models. Based on the model number, you probably have some sort of M632 Multifunction. The "flow" models have an additional feature on the ADF called multi-feed detect. It uses an ultrasonic sensor to detect when multiple pages are fed at the same time to stop the feeding process before a document is damaged. Typically, if your printer has a pull out keyboard on it under the control panel it will use the flow model ADF. All other models will use a standard ADF with the part number you have listed.
