11. Double-Feed Detection Function
11-1. What is Double-Feed Detection Function ?
Double-feed is feeding of more than two sheets of paper at once time.
Using a sensor which measures paper thickness, the thickness of a paper fed is read as standard data during
presettings, this paper is then compared with the data of the paper conveyed from the paper feed trays, and
if the dierence between the two data is large, it is determined as double-feeding of paper.
This sensor is called double-feed detection sensor.
