Phaser 4500/4510 Service Manual 2-13
Theory of Operation
Extension lock The 150-sheet tray extends to accommodate different paper 
lengths. The extension lock holds the extension in position.
End guide The end guide can be adjusted to different paper sizes by making a 
forward or backward adjustment. It makes contact with the rear end of the 
paper, and holds the paper in position front-to-back in the paper tray.
Through the cam action of the sector gear and size rack, the position of the 
end guide is converted to up and down combinations of the three size switch 
links on the side of the tray. The links, when in contact with the paper size 
switches in the left tray guide, turn the switches on or off in combinations that 
correspond to the paper size.
