3.2.3 Sensors and Actuators
This machine uses the following sensors and thermistors.
*1
For models with ADF
*2
For models with handset
• The document front sensor detects whether there is a document in the ADF.
• The document rear sensor detects the leading and trailing edges of document pages, indicating
to the control circuitry the point at which to start reading and when page scanning is complete.
• The scanner cover sensor detects whether the scanner cover (scanner unit) is properly closed.
• The ink cartridge cover sensor detects whether the ink cartridge cover is properly closed.
• The registration sensor detects the leading and trailing edges of paper for use in determining
print start and end timings and detecting paper jams.
• The paper width (media) sensor checks whether recording paper is A4 or greater in width at
the start of recording of FAX data received. With this sensor signal, the controller prevents
the print head from printing on the outside of paper in borderless printing. It also protects the
platen from no-paper printing when a paper jam occurs, preventing stains on the platen and
the back side of paper.
• The head thermistor detects the temperature inside the head/carriage unit. According to the
sensor information, the controller adjusts the head driver to compensate for changes in ink
viscosity.
