8.6.4 Detecting the Level of Paper
The machine indicates the level of paper inside the deck and the cassette in four readings (including No
Paper) on the control panel.
Level of paper
100% to about 50% of capacity
about 50% to about 10% of capacity
about 10% of capacity or less
No paper
In the case of the deck right/left, two sensors are used to detect the position of the deck, and combinations
of the states of the sensors (on/off) are used to find out the level of paper.
For the absence of paper, an exclusive sensor is used.
