11.7 SIDE FENCE DOUBLE STOPPER MECHANISM
[A157/A159/A160]
In this model, there is a side fence stopper mechanism for both the front and
rear side fences.
If the tray is closed with excessive force after loading paper, paper may
come over the rear side fence, because the fence is deformed by the weight
of the paper leaning against it. As a result, skewing or paper jams may
occur. To prevent this, a side fence stopper mechanism [A] has been added
to the rear side fence also.
The release levers [B] have a stopper which contains teeth like those on a
gear. The guide rails [C] also have teeth. When the release lever is pushed,
the gear teeth release each other and the side fences can be moved.
