5.1.3
Full-of-paper detecting mechanism
• Each tray is mounted with a tray paper full detect board that detects a full-of-paper condi-
tion of the tray.
• The tray paper full detect board consists of a light emitter (LED) and a photoreceiver that
are paired up to serve for each tray. The system determines that the tray is in a full-of-
paper condition when paper blocks the LED light.
• When a full-of-paper condition is detected, the copier feeds paper being printed out and
then stops, with a corresponding message shown on the control panel.
• A stack of 150 sheets of plain paper (lower tray) is detected as a full-of-paper condition,
excluding curled paper.
