Abstract

A system for detecting the level of a media supply in a printer has a frame having a support for seating the printer thereon. A first light source is positioned on the support and is energizable to direct a first beam of light into the printer. A first detector is positioned on the support and provides an analog signal in response to reflection of the first beam of light from within the printer. Acontrol logic processor is in signal communication with the first detector and compares the analog signal to a stored / predetermined value and reports a low media condition according to the comparison.
