CHAPTER 2
D . Detecting
Jams
The feed paper sensor (PI201) is used to check the presence/absence of paper and to find out if
paper is moving correctly. It checks for a jam in terms of the presence/absence of paper over it at
such times as programmed in advance. When the CPU detects a jam, it will stop printing operation
and indicate the fact to the DC controller.
1 . Pickup delay jam
The video controller will identify a feed sensor pickup delay jam or a registration sensor pickup
delay jam as a pickup delay jam.
