Abstract

Data processing elements such as microcode count the number of cut sheets fed from a supply bin and also monitor the amount of bin travel. This yields data correlated to actual sheet thickness and weights useful for a variety of applications. For instance, the detected sheet data makes it is possible to logically optimize control of machine operating elements which are sensitive to supply sheet quality parameters.
