4.1.5
Media supply level detection control
There is a window in the front cover of the cassette for indicating the media supply level.
When the media lift plate goes up, a red lever appears in the window. The lower the level
of the media stack in the tray, the more red that is visible.
4.1.6
Media empty condition detection control
The media empty message is displayed on the panel when the empty sensor actuator
unblocks the media empty sensor.
No mechanism is provided for detecting a media near empty condition. The media sup-
ply level indicator serves this purpose.
