2.2.5.3 CD-R Mechanism Explanation

The CD-R Mechanism is as follows: When the CD-R Guide Assy is drawn out toward
the front, its position is detected by the CD-R Sensor 2 (Front). Then the APG Assy
widens the platen gap to the PG++ position so that the CD-R Tray can be loaded.
The CD-R Mechanism is driven as follows: The CD-R Tray inserted by hand is loaded
and ejected by the driving force transmitted from the PF Motor to the PF Roller and
Paper Eject Rollers (x2). (See Figure 2-15)
