PAPER FEED AND REGISTRATION
[A]
The paper tray capacity has been increased from 250 to 500 sheets and the
paper lift mechanism differs from former one.
Force is applied to the bottom plate by the main lift spring and the secondary
lift spring, depending on the amount of paper remaining in the tray.
When one sheet remains in the tray, the bottom plate is supported only by
the main lift spring. In this case, the secondary lift spring does not affect the
bottom plate, because both ends [A], [B] of the secondary lift spring and the
fulcrum of bottom plate lever line up in a straight line. As the amount of paper
increases, the bottom plate lever inclines right, and tension for the both main
lift spring and secondary lift spring increase.
