Paper Cassette Mechanism

Support arms [A] on each side of the paper cassette go in grooves on each side when the paper cassette
is set in the roll feeder.
The grooves lift the supports and pull the springs attached to the bottom plate [B] of the paper cassette.

This gives sufficient tension to keep the stack of paper on the bottom plate at the correct height for paper
feed.
The cassette feed motor turns the cassette feed roller [C] to feed paper from the top of the stack.
A friction pad [D] below the feed roller gives sufficient friction to stop sheets from double feeding.
The grip rollers [E] (also driven by the cassette feed motor), pull the paper into the paper feed path and
feed it up to the RF exit rollers.
