2.4.7  Paper Feed Mechanism
2.4.7.1  MP Tray
PAPER FEED OPERATION
The MP Tray consists of the paper feed roller, push-up plate and manual paper feed 
solenoid (SL1).
When the manual paper feed solenoid (SL1) is turned on, the cam starts rotating.
At the same time, the tray is pushed up by the push-up plate and the paper on the tray is fed 
into the printer body by the paper feed roller.
PAPER EMPTY SENSOR
The MP tray paper empty sensor (PC1) is mounted at the bottom of the MP Tray to detect 
“empty of paper” in the MP Tray.
When there is paper, the actuator is pushed down and the light to the sensor is transmitted.
When there is no paper, the actuator is lifted, the light to the sensor is intercepted.
