Paper Lift Mechanism
When you push down the bottom plate, the latch will set, locking the plate down,
compressing the spring below.
After loading in paper, when you push the paper tray back into the machine, the
runner pushes the rounded slider, releasing the latch. Then the compressed
springs push the plate up and keep the latch retracted (preventing the plate from
becoming locked down under a full load of paper.)
