Abstract:
In one example, an apparatus includes a sensor including an emitter and a detector that define a line of sight therebetween. A mechanical arm has a fixed end and a free end. An axis of rotation passing through the fixed end of the mechanical arm is parallel to the line of sight. A mechanical flag mounted to the fixed end of the mechanical arm includes at least a first protrusion that defines at least three positions of the mechanical arm relative to the line of sight.

Claim (Index 14):
A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium encoded with instructions executable by a processor, the machine-readable storage medium comprising:\n instructions to monitor a signal transmitted from an emitter of a sensor mounted in a printing device to a detector of the sensor; instructions to determine, based on the signal being detected in a first state, that an output door of the printing device is blocked, when the first state is detected after a command to begin a print job is received but before the print job has commenced; and instructions to determine, based on the signal being detected in the first state, that an output bin of the printing device is full, when the first state is detected after the print job has commenced.
