3.3.3.3 Detail of Paper Loading/Feed Mechanism
PRINTER MAIN UNIT
Lift-up mechanism
This mechanism lifts up the paper set in the paper cassette up to the paper
pickup position by the pickup mechanism.
The lift-up mechanism operates the Cassette Hopper by the force of the spring
provided inside the Paper Cassette.
When the Paper Cassette has been removed from the printer, the Cassette
Hopper is locked by the Hopper Lock present in the center part and the Hopper
Stopper on the left and right sides.
When you set the Paper Cassette in the printer, the Hopper Lock and Hopper
Stopper of the Paper Cassette come in contact with the Release Rib, and the
lock is released. The released Cassette Hopper rises due to the tension of the
spring.
