[E]
A689D501.WMF
This unit is directly driven by the copier through gear [A]. When the print key is pressed, the pick-up solenoid [B] turns on and the pick-up
roller [C] moves onto the paper. When the by-pass tray runs out of paper, the paper end feeler [D] drops int o the
cutout in the by-pass tray and the paper end sensor [E] is acti vated.

A689D503.WMF
The paper size sensor board [A] monitors the paper width. The rear side fence is connected to the terminal plate. The pattern for each paper width is unique. Therefore, the copier determines which paper has been placed in the by-pass tray by the signal output from the board. However, the copier will not determine the paper length from the bypass tray hardware.
