Paper Lock Release Mechanism; Paper End Detecting Mechanism - Atari 1025 Field Service Manual

PAPER LOCK RELEASE MECHANISM
When
the
paper
lock release lever
is
moved
forward, the paper chute
opens
to allow
clearance between
the pressure
rollers
ana
the
platen,
thereby allowing
insertion of
paper.
When
the paper
lock release lever
is
moved
back, the pressure
rollers
push
against the platen and
feed the paper
(see
Figure
1-6).

PAPER END
DETECTING MECHANISM
When
paper
is
loaded, the paper prevents
the
microswitch actuator from
dropping
into
the paper-separator groove,
as illustrated
in
Figure
1-7. This keeps
the microswitch
turned
off.
When
the paper runs
out,
the actuator drops
into the groove
to
close the
microswitch and detect
the absence
of paper.
