3) Lift mechanism of paper drawer
• When the paper drawer is inserted, the lift lever is engaged with the coupling
which drives the lift lever of the system console.
Then the lift motor rotates, the rotation is transmitted to the lifting lever drive gear
by a gear, and by rotating the lift lever, the bottom plate of the drawer (and paper)
is lifted.
• When the bottom plate of the drawer (paper) is lifted, the paper upper limit sensor
of the paper feed unit turns on and the rotation of the lift motor is stopped. This
way, level of paper can be kept constant.
4) Paper detecting operation
• When the paper drawer contains paper, the paper detecting sensor turns on.
When there is no paper in the drawer, the paper detecting sensor lever drops into
a slot in the bottom plate, the paper detecting sensor turns off and "no paper" is
detected.
• When the paper level becomes low, the "Add Paper" indication turns on and "low
paper level" is detected.
