At power on, the upper tray moves to the start position under the feed-out slot, as described previously.

Positioning the Lower Tray for Feed-out

If the lower tray is selected for a job, the upper tray is moved away from the feed- out slot at the start of the job. The motor [A] lifts the side fence and upper tray to upper limit sensor [B], which stops the motor. The upper tray remains locked in position on the side fence (by the upper tray lift solenoid) while the lower tray is in use.

If sensor [B] fails, switch [C] stops the tray.

While the upper tray is being raised, motor [D] lifts the lower tray to the feed-out slot. The motor stops when the upper tray paper height sensor detects the tray.

Lower Tray Height Adjustment During Feed-out

Two sensors and a long feeler that contacts the top of the stack control the lower tray height during feed-out.

When the top of the stack is low, the feeler drops and the actuator swings up and actuates height sensor 1 [E]. As the stack grows higher, the feeler is pushed up until it actuates height sensor 2 [F]. After height sensor 2 remains active for 3 seconds, the lift motor [D] switches on and lowers the tray a short distance. This process repeats until the tray is full.
