The machine can automatically detects the size of the paper when the operator adjusts the positions of the side fences and end fence to sides of the paper.
- Moving the side fences [A] and end fence [B] moves a metal wheel [C] that activates combinations of 5 micro-switches on a detection board [D] inside the tray.
- Each switch corresponds to a bit, and the readings of the detected positions (shown in the table below) detect the size is also and display it on the operation panel.
