Bottom Plate Lift Mechanism
When a paper tray is set in the machine, a catch on the frame of the machine snags the bottom plate
lock lever [A] and releases it. When the lock is released, a spring raises the bottom plate [B] and paper
stack to the feed roller.
Also, the bottom plate and end fence are linked, so when the bottom tray rises, the end fence shifts
forward against the trailing edge of the stack. This keeps the edge of the stack against the fence to
prevent misfeeds.
