Paper End
Detection
Paper end sensor: Feeler falls through a slot in the bottom plate when there is
no paper.
Slide 93
The paper end sensor is mounted on the frame above the paper tray. If there is any
paper in the paper tray, the paper stack lifts the feeler and the paper end sensor is
deactivated.
When the paper tray runs out of paper, the paper end feeler drops into the cutout in the
tray bottom plate and the paper end sensor is activated.
When the paper tray is pulled out with no paper in the tray, the shape of the paper end
feeler causes it to lift up and so it does not interfere with tray movement.
