The tray goes up until the top of the paper stack pushes up the paper pick-up roller
[A] and the actuator [B] activates the upper limit sensor [C] to stop the tray lift
motor.

When tray 1 contains a large paper size (such as A3), the tandem tray sensor [D] is
covered and the machine detects that this tray is not being used as a tandem tray.
In such a case, the left and right bottom plates both must lift the paper to the
correct feed height. The right tray upper limit sensor operates as explained above
([C] in the top diagram). However, for the left bottom plate, the left tray upper limit
sensor [E] detects when the stack is at the correct height. (The actuator is curved
so that it is not damaged when a paper stack is moved from left to right when the
tray is in tandem mode.) This sensor is only used when tray 1 is not being used as
a tandem tray.
