    MP 501 Paper tray 2 dont lift paper

    Hello guys

    I have the same problem with two MP 501 on different customers
    It seems like the paper tray 2 didnt activate properly the paper type sensor on the right side , and remains down.if i touch the tray or push a little bit the tray lift motor starts to work and it recognizes the correct format.
    If i close the tray it remains a bigger gap on the sides than Tray 1, but there is no regulation screw or similar .
    Its the second machine with exact the same issue. Is this a known issue with this machines?, have someone the same problem??.

    Thank You !

    "if you move it, it starts to lift", this is how the lifting motor needs to be replaced, however if you suspect it is a size issue, you can try disabling it with sp-5148-001 (size detection on/off)

      If i push the tray the Motor starts to lift... Even if the tray is open and i push the paper size selector on the right side

        its normal that you push with the finger the switch, the lifter motor run, check if rear plastic of tray 2 are deformed, and dont push well any switch...and disable for a test the sp detection size

          I've had the size selector switch go flaky.
