Lift

When the machine detects that the paper tray is set in the machine:

• The tray lift motor [A] rotates forward
• Coupling gear [B] on the tray lift motor engages pin [C] of the lift drive shaft.
• The tray drive belts [D], connected to the tray bottom plate [E], are driven by the tray lift motor via the lift drive shaft and tray lift pulleys [F].
• When the lift motor rotates forward, the tray bottom plate [E] rises. The tray rises until the top of the paper stack pushes up the pick-up roller and the lift sensor in the feed unit is de-activated.
• When the actuator [G] on the rear end of the bottom plate activates the paper height sensors [H], the remaining paper capacity is detected.

When the tray is pulled out:

• Coupling gear [B] separates from pin [C] and the tray bottom plate goes down.
• A damper [I] slows the descent of the bottom plate.
