When the machine detects that the paper tray is set in the machine:
¾ The tray lift motor rotates forward.
¾ The coupling gear on the tray lift motor engages the lift drive shaft.
¾ The tray drive belts, connected to the tray bottom plate, are driven by the
tray lift motor via the lift drive shaft and tray lift pulleys.
¾ When the lift motor rotates forward, the tray bottom plate rises. The tray
rises until the top of the paper stack pushes up the pick-up roller and the lift
sensor in the feed unit is de-activated.
¾ When the actuator on the rear end of the bottom plate activates the paper
height sensors, the remaining paper capacity is detected.
When the tray is pulled out:
¾ The coupling gear separates from the shaft and the tray bottom plate goes
down.
