2.1.2 BOTTOM PLATE LIFT MECHANISM
When an original is placed on the original tray, the original set sensor [A] turns on,
the pick-up roller [B] drops on to the original, and the bottom plate position sensor
[C] turns off. Then the bottom plate motor [D] turns on and lifts the bottom plate [E]
by raising the lift lever [F] until the bottom plate position sensor turns on.
When the bottom plate position sensor turns off during original feed, the bottom
plate motor turns on and lifts the bottom plate until the bottom plate position sensor
turns on. This keeps the original at the correct height for feeding.
