2. Detecting the Level of the Stack in the Deck (compartment)
The drive of the deck lifter motor (M102) is received by a coupling, and is transmitted
to the rack by means of a drive belt. The rack is equipped with a black belt which moves
in conjunction with the movement of the rack within the indicator window in the deck front
cover.
When copy paper starts to run out and the lifter moves up to pick-up position, the
area of the black belt inside the display window increases and the level of copy paper
(white area) starts to decrease, indicating the remaining level of copy paper.
