Tray Lift

The bottom plate [A] is lifted by the springs [B] in the tray when the tray is inserted in the machine, and the
bottom tray lock lever [C] is released by the projection [D] at the right side of the tray set location. There
is no tray lowering mechanism for these models. Therefore, you must press down the bottom plate when
you insert the tray in the machine.
