6.11.4 PAPER LIFT MECHANISM

When the paper tray [A] is closed,
projection [B] on the copier frame
pushes slider [C] (on the bottom part of
the paper tray) off the bottom plate
hook [D]. After the release slide comes
off, compressed springs lift the bottom
plate.

6.11.5 PAPER END DETECTION

If there is any paper in the paper tray,
the paper stack lifts the feeler, the
paper end sensor [A] is deactivated.
When the paper tray runs out of paper,
the paper end feeler drops into the
cutout [B] in the tray bottom plate and
the paper end sensor is activated.
When the paper tray is drawn out with
no paper in the tray, the shape of the
paper end feeler causes it to lift up.
