2.8.8 PAPER NEAR-END/END DETECTION – TRAYS 1 TO 3
Near-end Detection
A feeler [A] on the lift arm shaft rotates counterclockwise as the paper is used up.
When about 50 sheets are left on the tray, the feeler activates the paper near end
sensor [B].
End Detection
If there is paper in the tray, the paper end feeler [C] is raised by the paper stack
and the paper end sensor [D] is deactivated. When the paper tray runs out of
paper, the paper end feeler drops into the cutout [E] in the tray bottom plate and
the paper end sensor is activated.
