2.6.6 PAPER TABLE ANGLE ADJUSTMENT MECHANISM
There are two paper table open
positions: level, and 15 degrees
upward slant. Normally the paper
table is set at the level position.
The 15 degrees upward slant
position is used to feed special
types of paper, such as envelopes,
which are difficult to feed at the
level position. In the slanted
position, the tray capacity is
reduced.
As the paper table [A] is lowered
from the closed position, the pin on
the lever [C] engages the cutout in
the lock bracket [B]. Then, the
paper table stops at the level
position.
When the paper table is
slightly raised from the level
position, the spring plate [D]
pushes the lock bracket [B],
and the pin on the lever [C]
disengages. This stops the
table at the 15 degrees
upward slant position.
