n The End Guide can be moved toward the paper feed and holds
the paper stack in place. By moving the End Guide, the moving
force is transmitted to the Sector Gear and the position of the
Tray Size Actuator changes. The Tray Size Actuator pushes
down (turns on) the Paper Size Switches (on the Size Switch
Assembly). If the Tray Size Actuator position changes, the
combinations of ON/OFF of the four Paper Size Switches
change. The printer recognizes the paper size from the ON/OFF
combinations.
n The Rear Guide Assembly moves in a direction perpendicular to
the direction of the paper feed and holds the paper stack
horizontally.
n The Bottom Plate Assembly pushes the paper stack onto the
Feed Roll so that one sheet is pulled out by friction. The Tray N/
F Springs push up the Bottom Plate Assembly.
n The bottom of the Bottom Plate Assembly has a magnet that
detects the low paper state (Low Paper Sensor).
n The Front Snubber pushes down a corner of the paper so that
only one sheet of paper is pulled out. (This mechanism uses the
stiffness of the paper to prevent more than one sheet of paper
from being pulled out.)
