Paper Near End/End Detection
There are four sensors in tray 1: the two near end sensors [B] [E], the end sensor
[C] and the paper width sensor [A].
Near-end detection
Two near end sensors detect the amount of paper in the tray.
When the quantity of paper decreases, the bottom-plate-pressure lever moves up
and the actuator [F] (on the pressure-lever drive shaft) turns.

50 ~ 0 OFF OFF
OFF: No actuator
End detection
When the paper tray is empty, the actuator [D] moves into the end sensor. The
sensor detects paper end.
Paper width sensor
When paper with a small width (less than A5/HLT) is put in the tray, it does not lift
the actuator [G] of the paper width sensor. Because of this, the paper width sensor
detects the paper that has a width less than A5/HLT.
