ABSTRACT:
The current invention is directed to systems and methods determining an overflow situation for a output catch tray device for holding a predetermined capacity of a image-carrying medium in image-duplicating machines such as photocopiers, facsimile machines and printers. The overflow condition is monitored by keeping track of a number of sheets of an image-carrying medium in a predetermined size and is independent from an inflexible mechanical device such as a torque limiter on a holding roller. In addition, the overflow beyond the predetermined capacity is flexibly adjusted based upon the conversion data.
