10.6 PAPER END DETECTION
The paper end feeler [A] is on the same shaft as the paper end actuator [B].
When the paper tray runs out of paper, the paper end feeler drops into the
cutout [C] in the tray bottom plate. The paper end actuator activates the
paper end sensor [D].
The paper end actuator is in contact with the lever [E]. When the tray is
drawn out, the lever turns as shown by the arrow in the diagram. Then the
lever pushes up the actuator. As a result, the feeler rotates upwards. This
mechanism is necessary to prevent the feeler from getting damaged by the
paper tray body.
