Confidential
The T.O.F. detector is comprised of an LED and photo resistor. Reflected light is used to
determine whether or not a slip has been inserted.
When a slip is inserted, light emitted by the LED is reflected, resulting in a change in the photo
resistor output level.
This change in output level is used as a detection signal to determine whether or not a slip has
been inserted.
Paper ejection detection mechanism
The paper ejection detection mechanism detects whether or not a slip has been inserted. The
mechanism is located on the head cover for the slip paper ejection port to ensure it can
determine whether or not paper remains in the unit after the slip has been ejected.
The paper ejection detector is comprised of an LED and photo resistor. Reflected light is used to
determine whether or not the slip has been ejected.
When a slip reaches the paper ejection detector after printing is performed and the slip is fed,
light emitted by the LED is reflected, resulting in a change in the photo resistor output level.
This change in output level is used as a detection signal to determine whether or not a slip is
present.
