Paper Sensor
The photo type sensor is contained on the Main PCB. The movable part of the
mechanism detects if there is paper or not and turns the sensor on and off. When light is
transmitted, there is no paper.
The CH1 level of the sensor output is less than 2.5V without paper and 2.5V or more with
paper present.
