*1 Paper lift-up
Tray loading
Double feed prevention
*2 1st paper feed
No paper detection
*3 Paper size detection (Universal)
*1 Paper lift-up
a) Hoisting of up/down plate
The up/down plate is lifted up by up/down wires. When the paper tray is loaded, the up drive motor 1 (M19),
2 (M20) rotates to wind the up/down wires around the drive pulleys and consequently the plate moves up
and push up papers set in the tray. When the tray upper limit PS1 (PS20), 2 (PS21) detects the actuator
of the plate that has moved up, the up drive motor 1 (M19), 2 (M20) stops.
