Paper Lift Mechanism; Paper End Detection - Ricoh B039 Service Manual

6.11.4 PAPER LIFT MECHANISM

When the paper tray [A] is closed,
projection [B] on the copier frame
pushes slider [C] (on the bottom part
of the paper tray) off the bottom plate
hook [D]. After the release slide comes
off, compressed springs lift the bottom
plate.

6.11.5 PAPER END DETECTION

If there is any paper in the paper tray,
the paper stack lifts the feeler, the
paper end sensor [A] is deactivated.
When the paper tray runs out of
paper, the paper end feeler drops into
the cutout [B] in the tray bottom plate
and the paper end sensor is activated.
When the paper tray is drawn out with
no paper in the tray, the shape of the
paper end feeler causes it to lift up.
