Trays
Standard trays include the 100-sheet, multi-purpose Tray 1/MPT and two 500-sheet
universal trays, Trays 2 and 3. The trays adjust to accept various paper sizes.
Tray 1/MPT
The Tray 1/MPT Feeder feeds paper into the printer. The printer’s Main Motor drives
the Tray 1/MPT Feed Roller to feed paper from the tray. Tray 1/MPT components
include:
■
Feed Roller that feeds paper from Tray 1/MPT.
■
Drive Roller that feeds paper into the printer.
■
Pick-up Solenoid that engages the Main Motor to the Feed Roller.
■
No Paper Sensor that detects whether paper is in Tray 1/MPT.
■
Paper Size Sensor detects the position of the Side Guides and reports the width of
paper in Tray 1.
Tray 1/MPT incorporates a single set of guides to establish paper width. The time
required for the paper to clear the No Paper Sensor identifies the paper’s length. When
media is placed in Tray 1/MPT, the leading edge strikes the actuator of the No Paper
Sensor indicating the presence of paper. As the last sheet of paper is fed from the tray
the actuator drops through an opening indicating No Paper remains in the tray.
