EPL-N2700 Revision A
Operating Principles Printer Mechanism Operating Principles 57
MP Cassette Set Sensor (PC6)
This sensor detects the installation of the MP cassette. This sensor
uses a photointerrupter. When the signal is input to the CPU in the
control circuit, the CPU detects that the MP Cassette has been
installed.
If the MP cassette is not installed in the MP Tray:
The projection of the paper cassette comes off the sensor which
is mounted on the printer. In this case, the light emitted from the
LED of the photointerrupter reaches the phototransistor of the
photointerrupter and the phototransistor turns ON. Accordingly,
the output of the phototransistor, i.e., the output of the sensor is
“L”.
When the MP cassette is installed in the MP Tray:
The projection of the paper cassette engages with the sensor. In
this case, the light emitted from the LED is blocked by the
projecting and it does not reach the phototransistor. As a result,
the phototransistor turns OFF and its output is “H”.

MP Cassette Paper Empty Sensor (PC4)
This sensor detects the paper empty status of the MP cassette. The
sensor uses a photointerrupter. When paper runs out in the MP
cassette, paper empty occurs.
When paper is present in the paper cassette, the lower part of the
sensor arm is pressed by the paper and the projection of the upper
part of the sensor arm comes off the photointerrupter. Thus, the light
from the LED of the photointerrupter passes in the photointerrupter
and the photointerrupter turns ON. As a result, the output of the
photointerrupter is “L”.
When paper runs out in the paper cassette, the lower part of the
sensor arm lowers with its weight so that the projection of the sensor
arm engages with the photointerrupter. As a result, the output of the
photointerrupter is “H”.
