2.2 PAPER LIFT

[G]
A compression type spring [H] and a white retaining bar [I] are located below the
bottom plate [G]. The white retaining bar is comprised of a spring [A] and two
hooks [D]. These hooks hold the bottom plate down. The white retaining bar moves
from side-to-side.
When you push the paper tray into the paper tray unit, the roller on the left side [C]
pushes the white retaining bar inwards, towards the side of the tray. The white
retaining bar slides to the right (looking from the machine's front). The two hooks
on the white retaining bar release the bottom plate, and the spring pushes the
bottom plate and paper stack upwards. The uppermost sheet of paper in the tray is
pushed up to and against the feed roller [F].
When you pull the paper tray out of the paper tray unit, the triangular rail [B] on the
left side pushes down the roller [E] on the paper tray. This roller is attached to the
bottom plate. The bottom plate is gradually pushed down while you pull out the
paper tray. Finally, the bottom plate reaches the white retaining bar and the hooks
on the white retaining bar "clamp" and hold the bottom plate down.
