The DC controller reverses the cassette lifter motor until the cassette lift-up sensor stops sensing the lifter
rack when a print job is not sent for a specified period.
The DC controller determines a cassette lifter motor failure and notifies the formatter when the cassette
lift-up sensor keeps sensing the lifter rack for a specified period from when the lift-down operation
starts.
The following figure shows the mechanism of the cassette lift operation for the upper cassette. Both
upper and lower cassettes have the same mechanism.

Cassette media-presence detection
The DC controller detects whether the paper is loaded in the cassette by monitoring the cassette media
out sensor. The cassette media-presence detection is not performed during Sleep mode. The DC
controller determines a media-absence and notifies the formatter when the cassette media out sensor
does not detect the paper.
Cassette multiple-feed prevention
The product uses a cassette separation roller to prevent the multiple sheets of paper from entering to the
product. The cassette separation roller follows the rotation of the cassette pickup roller. When multiple
