Tray 1 (multi-purpose tray)
The multi-purpose tray paper sensor (PS4) senses the presence of the paper in the multi-purpose
tray. The manual feed solenoid (SL1) transmits the rotational force of the pick-up motor to the
manual feeding pick-up roller. As the pick-up roller rotates, the pick-up cam pushes up the paper-
lifting plate. This causes the paper to be pressed against the pick-up roller and thus picked-up by its
rotation. After the separation pad separates multiple sheets, the paper is fed into the printer one
sheet at a time.
