Transition to this sequence is allowed only at paper initial.
At inter-page skew checking, transition to Simplified detection
sequence for left and right edges (skew check) (p.111) takes place.

Moving to paper absence position. Threshold value is
calculated during moving to paper presence position. After
determination of threshold value, edge sensor LED is kept on.

While monitoring the edge sensor output, CR moves outward
toward the printing area MAX position (350CPS). *

From the position where the sensor output has changed, CR
moves by 2 mm toward the home. (240CPS)
While monitoring the edge sensor output, CR moves outward
at 5 cps. The position where paper absence is detected is
judged to be the right edge position of the paper.
While monitoring the edge sensor output, CR moves toward
the home to the printing area MIN position (350CPS). *

While monitoring the edge sensor output, CR moves toward
the home at 5 cps. The position where paper absence is
detected is judged to be the left edge position of the paper.

"*4": To prevent wrong recognition as paper
presence when there is no paper as a result
of wrong detection of the rib of the platen
by the edge sensor, a paper width detected
to be not greater than A4 size - 20 mm is
judged to be paper absence.
