READ THIS FIRST Safety Notices Important Safety Notices Prevention of Physical Injury Before disassembling or assembling parts of the machine and peripherals, make sure that the machine power cord is unplugged. The wall outlet should be near the machine and easily accessible. If any adjustment or operation check has to be made with exterior covers off or open while the main switch is turned on, keep hands away from electrified or mechanically driven components.
To prevent a fire or explosion, keep the machine away from flammable liquids, gases, and aerosols. A fire or an explosion might occur. The Controller board on the MF model contains a lithium battery. The danger of explosion exists if a battery of this type is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or an equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.

Paper Feed Unit 1.1.5 FRICTION PAD Pull out the tray [A] Press down the bottom plate [B] Friction pad [C] (hooks, spring x 1) When reassembling When re-installing the friction pad, make sure that the mylar [A] does not go under the friction pad.
Basic Operation 2.2 BASIC OPERATION 2.2.1 PAPER SEPARATION AND FEED The paper tray holds 500 sheets of paper. The paper feed unit uses a friction pad system. The gear [A] is driven by the transport/fusing motor in the mainframe. The relay clutch [B] and paper feed clutch [C] control drive from the mainframe. When the optional tray is selected as the feed tray, the relay clutch and paper feed clutch transmit drive power to the relay roller and paper feed roller.
Basic Operation 2.2.2 PAPER LIFT The bottom plate is always pressed up by the spring in the tray. Therefore, you must press down the bottom plate when you insert the tray in the machine. The bottom tray lock levers [A] hold the tabs [B] under the bottom plate after the bottom plate is pressed down.
Basic Operation 2.2.3 PAPER END DETECTION There is a paper end sensor [A] in the tray. The feeler [B] drops into the cutout [C] in the bottom plate and the actuator interrupts the paper end sensor. This sensor also detects whether the tray is set.
