Transfer roll type sensing
1-6
Phaser 440 Color Printer
Combinations of sensors are used by the Phaser 440 print engine to determine
the type of transfer roll and the type of media tray installed in the printer.
The combinations of the three transfer roll core sensors "tell" the print engine
what type of transfer roll is installed. The length of the cores (long or short)
actuate the switches. Long cores close the switches, turning them on.
