To raise the accuracy of original size identification (as when the original is displaced while the ADF is closed), the machine makes use of the following 2 types of
mechanisms:
1. Presence/Absence of an Original at 2 Points (for each point of measurement)
For each point of measurement in main scanning direction, the machine checks the presence/absence of an original with reference to the CCD output at 2 points
near the point of measurement.

Changes in the Signal (from ADF open to close)

other: yes
The machine uses OR combinations for identification.
2.Priority on the Front Sensors
When checking the measurements for main scanning direction, if the absence of an original is indicated at the rear while the presence of an original is indicated at
the front, the machine will give priority to the indication at the front (i.e., presence of an original).
