2. When the Multi-sheet Tray is installed and media is present, the light from the Optical sensor hits the
media. Only a portion of the light bounces back to the sensor, resulting in a small signal.
3. When the Multi-sheet Tray is not installed, the light from the Optical sensor does not shine on anything
nearby, so no light will reect back to the sensor, resulting in no signal.
The Multisheet Media Sensor has been designed to be tolerant of the following:
●
Assembly variations that aect the position and alignment of the Optical sensor.
●
Assembly variations that aect the position and alignment of the mirror.
●
Variations in the sensitivity of the Optical sensor.
