PAPER CASSETTE (STANDARD)
Rev. A
Paper Cassette: Universal paper cassette that can hold six
regular sizes of plain paper cut sheets up to 250
sheets. Adjusting the Back Stopper makes the
Actuators on the left side of the Cassette in a
combination corresponding to the position of the
Back Stopper. The Actuators press their
corresponding prongs of the Spring Size, which
in turn actuate the corresponding Paper Size
Switches of the Sensor Assembly-Size 1.
PWB ASSY.-Size 1: The board has three Paper Size Switches 1 to 3.
Each Switch is actuated by the corresponding
prong of the Spring Size when the prong is
pressed by the corresponding Actuator on the
Paper Cassette. The pattern of actuated
Switches identifies the size of the paper that is
loaded in the Cassette. When the Cassette is
not in place, all Switches are not actuated, and
the printer can detect removal of the Cassette.
Refer to Paper Size Detection in Section 13 for
the relationship between paper sizes and
patterns of actuated Paper Size Switches.
Spring Size: The Spring Size is pressed by the
corresponding Actuators on the left side of the
Paper Cassette, and the psring is then pressing
the corresponding paper size switchs.
