CHAPTER 7 PICK-UP/FEEDING SYSTEM
b. Releasing the Lifter
The lifter is released mechanically when the cassette is slid out. The lifter uses two types of
claws, i.e., one moving up the lifter, and the other holding the lifter in place.
When the machine is in standby state, the lifter is held in place by the retaining claw; when the
cassette is slid out, this claw is disengaged to free the lifter so that the lifter starts to move down.
Caution:
If the main power is removed while the lifter is moved up, the claw used to move up the lifter
can at times remain in contact with the lifter gear. In such a condition, the lifter may not be
released fully, and forcing it can lead to damage. To avoid a problem, turn off and then on the
main power to put the machine in standby state.
