Lifting plate
This operation is divided into two operations: the initial lift-up operation and the lift-up operation during printing.
1. Initial lift-up operation
When the power is turned ON or a cassette is inserted, the Lifter Motor (M4) is driven to lift up the Lifting Plate to the position
for detection if the Cassette Paper Surface Sensor (PS12) do not detect the paper surface.
2. Lift-up operation during printing
This operation is performed if the paper surface is lowered a certain amount by the pickup operation.
If the Cassette Paper Surface Sensor (PS12) detect that there is no paper during printing, the Lifter Motor (M4) is driven to
lift up the Lifting Plate to the pickup position.
