4. Paper Lift Mechanism
When a cassette is inserted into the copier, the
curved release guides on the sides of the
cassette press against the rollers on the
release levers and force the release levers
down. The release levers rotate the cassette
arm shaft, moving the cassette arm down and
out of the way.
When the cassette is fully seated, the release
guides allow the release levers to move back
up. The cassette arm then presses up the
cassette bottom plate until the paper contacts
the paper feed roller.
5. Registration
The registration rollers have two functions. One is to adjust the image leading edge
on the drum. Another is to prevent paper skew.
The registration roller is driven by the registration clutch and the switch-on timing of
the clutch can be adjusted with DGS103 on the main board in 1 mm steps.
