MX-M700N TRAY PAPER FEED SECTION F – 7
D. Paper remaining detection
(1)
Paper remaining detection
Remaining paper detection is performed according to four stages, i.e. three stages with paper and one stage with no paper, and the result is
displayed.
(2)
Detection method
The number of remaining sheets is determined according to the number of times the remaining paper sensor changes from the time the paper
feed tray starts lifting up to the time when the upper detection sensor comes ON.
The no-paper detection sensor
detects the state of no remaining paper.
