Bypass Feed Bottom Plate Mechanism
The bottom plate has an automatic lifting system.
When the paper feed motor rotates in reverse, a
one-way clutch transfers the drive to the bottom
plate lifting system of the bypass tray.
A cam (on the left as you face the machine) starts
rotating to lift the bottom plate up and down.
The bottom plate position sensor detects
up/down movement of the bottom plate by
detecting a sensor actuator on the left side of the
cam.
