The paper feed station uses a paper tray [A] which can hold 500 sheets.
The paper tray uses semicircular feed rollers [B] and a corner separator. The
semicircular feed rollers make one rotation to drive the top sheet of the paper
stack to the relay rollers [C]. The paper tray has two corner separators, which
allow only one sheet to feed. They also hold the paper stack. When the paper
tray is drawn out of the machine, the spring pressure is released, and the tray
bottom plate drops. In addition, there is no need to press the bottom plate
down when putting the tray back in.
