The configuration and mechanism of the bypass tray have been modified to automatically detect the thickness and size of the paper loaded in the bypass tray with high accuracy.
Changes to Bypass Width Sensor (S8)
The sensor has been changed to one with higher accuracy to increase the size of paper that can be detected. It has become necessary to execute calibration when replacing the sensor to maintain the accuracy. For the calibration procedure, see Chapter 4, “Replacement and Adjustment”.

Bypass Tray Paper Size Detection
In the previous model, the paper size was detected in 9 areas, but in this machine, the paper size is detected by the rotary position sensor that accurately detects the position of the side fences.
