In all the products a reflective optical Paper Out sensor within the mechanism detects an out-of-paper
condition, and/or senses black marks to register with pre-printed forms. In the Ap863-F only, a
mechanical switch with optical sensing Paper Low indication provides a 'near-end' paper alert. In the
Ap1300, Ap1310 and the ATB102 only, a mechanical Head Up sensor detects when the lid is open.
The printer can be set to enter Spool mode automatically when the sensors become active. When
selected, Spool mode can be automatically exited, when the problem is cleared. This behaviour may
be modified. See the section on SETTING CONFIGURATION INFORMATION for details.
The state of the sensors is reported in the STATUS BYTE.
