Ink End Sensor
The ink end sensor is a photosensor that uses red light. The machine adjusts
the amount of current to the photosensor automatically to correct for the
manufacturer?s sensor type. The current is determined by the output level the
sensor reads during the white level scan on the paper when detecting the ink
end mark. The machine also determines the threshold value for detecting ink
end based the determined current value.
2.2.7. Maximum Print Lengths
The maximum print length depends on the vertical reduction ratio setting of
user function 62. It also differs for printing incoming fax messages and re-
ports, and when in in copy mode. This is to ensure that there is enough
space to print the ink end mark on incoming messages and reports. (Ink end
detection is not done in copy mode or when printing from a PC.)
The following table shows the maximum print lengths in various modes. All
lengths are in millimeters.

Any messages longer that the maximum will be printed on two sheets of pa-

If the vertical reduction ratio is set to AUTO, page separation and data reduc-
tion comes into effect (see section 2-2-8).
