10.5 SIDE FENCE DOUBLE STOPPER MECHANISM

[A]
[B]
There is a side fence stopper mechanism for both the front and rear side
fences.
If the tray is closed with excessive force after loading paper, paper may come
over the rear side fence, because the fence is 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.
