The paper tray has two springs [A] below the bottom plate. It also has two levers
[B] on the left and right ends of the bottom plate. There are two hooks [C] at the
rear end. When the paper tray is out of the copier, the two hooks hold the bottom
plate. The bottom plate is in its lowermost position.
When you push the paper tray into the copier, each protruding part [E] pushes the
hook [C]. Each hook releases the bottom plate. The bottom plate is lifted by the
springs.
When you pull the paper tray out of the copier, the triangular rails [D] on both sides
push the levers [B]. The bottom plate is gradually pushed down when you pull the
paper tray. At this time, the bottom plate is at its lowermost position. The hooks [C]
hold the bottom plate.
