1x500-sheet paper feeder cassette media-size detection and
cassette-presence detection
The paper feeder detects the size of the paper loaded in the paper feeder cassette by monitoring the
paper feeder cassette-media-end switch and the paper feeder cassette-media-width switch. It also
detects the presence of a cassette by monitoring the switches. The paper feeder controller notifies the
formatter through the DC controller when it determines a cassette is absent.
