2.2.4.2 Paper detection
Paper is detected by sensor levers located on the tractors, and reflective
sensors on the Card guide and Paper eject unit.
Paper sensor
The photo sensors on the tractors are shielded or unshielded by the
movement of the sensor-lever. If paper is not loaded, the sensor lever
shields the sensor to indicate that paper is not set on the tractor.
