G389D901.WMF
A printed circuit board [B] located at the far end of the right paper tray rail is
comprised of four photosensors. Three photosensors on the front side [E][F][G] are
the paper size sensors. The remaining photosensor, located towards the back of
the printed circuit board, is the paper tray sensor [D]. The paper size sensors
detect the paper size in the paper tray. The paper tray sensor detects the paper
tray.
An interrupt [I] is physically attached to the front plate [A] and can block (interrupt)
the paper size sensors. This interrupter has an opening on it [H]. The interrupter
can actuate (interrupt) up to two sensors at one time.
The paper tray has another interrupter [C] located on the rear right corner of the
tray. This interrupter actuates (interrupts) the paper tray sensor. When the paper
tray is correctly set in the paper tray unit, the paper tray sensor is constantly
blocked (interrupted).
The table below lists the sensor activation patterns and corresponding detected
paper sizes.
