Paper Lift Mechanism - Ricoh B121 Service Manual

6.11.4 PAPER LIFT MECHANISM

When the paper tray [A] is closed,
projection [B] on the copier frame
pushes slider [C] (on the bottom part
of the paper tray) off the bottom plate
hook [D]. After the release slide
comes off, compressed springs lift the
bottom plate.
6.11.5 PAPER END DETECTION
If there is any paper in the paper tray,
the paper stack lifts the feeler, the
paper end sensor [A] is deactivated.
When the paper tray runs out of
paper, the paper end feeler drops into
the cutout [B] in the tray bottom plate
and the paper end sensor is activated.
When the paper tray is drawn out with
no paper in the tray, the shape of the
paper end feeler causes it to lift up.
