2.4.10.3 MP Cassette Paper Empty Detection
Two sensors are used in this machine: the Paper Empty Sensor detects a paper-empty condition, while
the Paper Near-Empty Sensor detects a paper near-empty condition.
Paper Near-Empty Detection:
A paper near-empty condition is detected as the paper is consumed and when the Near-Empty Lever
lowers to eventually block the sensor (L).
At this time, the MP Cassette Paper Empty LED starts blinking.
A paper-empty condition results when about 50 more sheets of paper are used after the near-empty
condition has been detected.
Paper Empty Detection:
A paper-empty condition is detected as the paper is consumed and when the Empty Lever lowers to
eventually block the sensor (L).
At this time, the MP Cassette Paper Empty LED lights up steadily.
