16.6 Universal Tray Paper Size Detection Mechanism

• Both the width (in the crosswise direction) and length (in the feeding direction) of the
paper are detected and the copier CPU determines the paper size based on the combi-
nation of the two readings.
• The width (CD) of the paper is detected when the lever that is operatively connected to
the Edge Guide activates or deactivates the Paper Size (CD) Detection Sensor.
• The length (FD) of the paper is detected when the lever that is operatively connected to
the Trailing Edge Stop actuates or deactuates the switches on the Paper Size (FD)
Detection Board.
