Paper Size Detection 

The end fence is interlocked with a size detection actuator in an automatic detection system which 

recognizes patterns using a 4-position push switch. 

Size is detected by the detection patterns of switches 1, 2, 3, and 4. Tray set is detected by another 

switch. 

If the machine detects a change in the outputs from the switches, the machine detects the paper size 

again from the new outputs. 

If the paper size is selected manually by a user setting, the automatic size detection is overridden.
