There is a side fence stopper mechanism added for both the front and rear
side fences.
If the tray is closed with excessive force after loading paper, paper may move
over the rear side fence, because the fence can become deformed by the
weight of the paper leaning against it. As a result, skewing or paper jams may
occur. To prevent this, a side fence stopper mechanism has been added to
the rear side fence.
The release levers [A] each have a stopper which contains teeth like those
on a gear. The guide rails [B] also have teeth. When the release lever is
pushed, the gear teeth release each other and the side fences can be moved.
