D The paper lifting mechanism raises the paper in the drawer so that the top of the
paper stack is pressed against the Paper Take-Up Roll at a constant pressure.
D When slid into the copier, the drawer presses the Drawer Set Lever which engages
Lift-Up Motor Gear 1 with Paper Lifting Arm Gear 2.
D At the same time, the Drawer Set Sensor (PC61 /PC62) is blocked (goes LOW) and
after 1 msec., the Lift-Up Motor (M13/M14) starts turning, causing the Paper Lifting
Arm to raise the Paper Lifting Plate.
D When the drawer is slid out, Lift-Up Motor Gear 1 is disengaged from Paper Lifting
Arm Gear 2, lowering the Paper Lifting Plate.
