6.8.3 PAPER PICK-UP
When the tray is installed in the machine, the rear [A] of the tray pushes the lever [B], and
this lever pushes down the pick-up roller [C] onto the paper. This turns the paper lift sensor
[D] "OFF".
When the trailing edge of the paper is 10 mm before the paper feed sensor [E], the pick-up
solenoid [F] turns on. When the paper feed sensor [E] detects the trailing edge of the paper,
the pick-up solenoid [F] turns off. This lifts the pick-up roller from the top of the stack paper
briefly and then releases the pick-up roller. This makes paper pick-up more effective.
The paper feed sensor [E] also controls the paper feed clutch "ON" and "OFF" timing.
