16-2. Drawer Paper Lifting/Lowering Mechanism/Control
• The paper lifting mechanism raises the paper in the drawer so that the top of the paper
stack is pressed against the Paper Take-Up Roll at a constant pressure.
• When slid into the copier, the drawer presses the Drawer Set Lever which engages Lift-
Up Motor Gear 1 with Paper Lifting Arm Gear 2.
• At the same time, the Drawer Set Sensor is blocked (goes LOW) and after 1 msec., the
Lift-Up Motor starts turning, causing the Paper Lifting Arm to raise the Paper Lifting Plate.
• When the drawer is slid out, Lift-Up Motor Gear 1 is disengaged from Paper Lifting Arm
Gear 2, lowering the Paper Lifting Plate.
