    PAPER TRANSPORT FAILURE 2-1. Paper Misfeed Detection Outline • A paper misfeed is detected by detecting different states of signals (H, L) of several sen- sors located near the paper take-up section and the Exit Paper Sensor. • The timings of the rising and falling edges of the paper take-up-related sensors and the Exit Paper Sensor are monitored to detect a misfeed of paper being fed through the copier.
