6.6.1 Principle of original size detection

6-601. Each sensor consists of an infrared light emitting diode (LED) on the light emitting side, and a
phototransistor on the light receiving side.
Whenthereisanoriginalontheoriginalglass,lightbeamsfromtheLEDsarereectedbytheoriginal
and led to the phototransistors. This means that the presence of the original is detected by the pres-
enceofreection.

6.6.2 Process of detection of original size
(1) When the equipment is in the original size detection mode, carriage-1 is set at its home position.
(2) Whentheplatencoverisopened,thesensorsreceivethelightreectedfromtheoriginaland
if one of the matrix conditions shown in (4) for original sizes are met, the size of the original is
instantly detected.
(3) The output signal from each sensor is input to CPU on the SLG board to determine the size of the
original.
