Media supply level detection control

• There is a window in the front cover of the cassette for indicating the media supply level.
• When the media lift plate goes up, a red lever appears in the window. The lower the level
of the media stack in the tray, the more red that is visible.

• The media empty message is displayed on the panel when the empty sensor actuator
unblocks the media empty sensor.
• No mechanism is provided for detecting a media near empty condition. The media sup-
ply level indicator serves this purpose.
