Universal Tray Paper Size Detection Mechanism

• Both the width (in the crosswise direction) and length (in the feeding direction) of the
paper are detected and the copier CPU determines the paper size based on the combi-
nation of the two readings.
• The width of the paper is detected when the lever that is operatively connected to the
Edge Guide activates or deactivates the Paper Size Detection Sensor.
• The length of the paper is detected when the lever that is operatively connected to the
Trailing Edge Stop actuates or deactuates the switches on the Paper size detect board.
