In order to improve reliability, we recommend that the HP-sig is detected as described below.

(1)When the T1-sig is unstable when turning on the power, etc.

Detect the L level after having detected the H level of the HP-sig, and then, after having carried out 81 pulse counts for the T1-sig, detect the H level.

(2)When the T1-sig is decided during continuous operation of the motor

Detect the L level of the HP-sig, and then, after having counted 847 pulses of the T1-sig, detect the H level.

3.13 Paper-out Detector (PE-sig) Specifications

The Paper-out Detector is composed of a mechanical switch. While the paper is set in the paper tray, the switch remains ON.

R1

10 k

 

 

R2
