At this time, the rear sensor leverrotates counterclockwise (CCW), and pulls out of the rear and top paper end sensor todetect that the sheet is provided.The procedure for the paper end is made in the reverse order, that is, its detection isperformed when the rear sensor lever intercepts the sensor.(3) Bottom feed detectionWhen the sheet is fed from the bottom, the point C rotates clockwise (CW). When thebottom sensor lever rotates clockwise (CW), it pulls out of the bottom paper end sensorto detect that the sheet is provided.The procedure for the paper end is made in the reverse order, that is, its detection isperformed when the bottom sensor lever intercepts the sensor.
