Cassette media-size detection and cassette-presence detection
The paper feeder detects the size of the paper loaded in the paper feeder cassette by monitoring the
paper feeder cassette media end switch and the paper feeder cassette media width switch. It also
detects the presence of cassette by monitoring the switches. The paper feeder controller notifies the
formatter through the DC controller when it determines a cassette is absent.
