7.11.2 PAPER FEED/ TRANSPORT PART

The paper feed tray consists of 2 units, i.e., a main double tray and a bypass feed tray. By using the 1st tray as a fixed tray, and the 2nd tray as a universal tray, a space-saving two-step feed is enabled.

Tray Base Plate Lift

When the paper feed tray is set in the machine, the set switch at the rear of the tray switches ON, and it is detected that the tray is set.

The coupling between the shaft at the rear of the tray and the lift motor then engages, the motor rotates, and the tray base plate is lifted. The tray base plate lifts until the paper surface pushes the pick-up roller up, the upper limit sensor switches OFF (interrupt), and the machine enters paper feed standby mode.

When the tray is removed, the coupling is released, and the base plate moves down. The lift motor then rotates until the coupling returns to the home position.
