PAPER LIFT MECHANISM
1 m First and Second Feed Stations
[ E ]
When a cassette is inserted into the copier, the curved release guides on the
sides of the cassette press against the rollers on the release levers [A] and
force the release levers down. The release levers rotate the cassette arm
shaft [B], moving the cassette arm down and out of the way. When the
cassette is fully seated, the release guides allow the release levers to move
back up. The cassette arm [C] presses up the cassette bottom plate [D] until
the paper contacts the paper feed roller.
To prevent copy paper from multi-feeding or jamming, the spring [E] pressure
is adjustable.
