When the tray is placed in the machine, the paper size detection sensor turns on
and the lift motor [A] is activated, lifting the bottom plate. The plate rises until the
upper limit sensor [B] detects the actuator [C] and stops the motor.
The paper end sensor [D] contains a photosensor. When there is no paper
remaining in the tray, the actuator [E] drops through the opening in the bottom plate
[F], causing the sensor to detect the paper end condition.
