Copy Machine

The document describes a simple copy machine that needs a logic circuit to generate a stop signal S under two conditions: 1) if there is no paper in the paper feeder tray, indicated by a HIGH logic signal P, or 2) if either of two micro-switches Q and R in the paper path are activated, indicating a paper jam. The solution provides a truth table and map to show that the output S will be HIGH whenever P is low, or whenever both Q and R are HIGH, indicating a paper jam. A circuit is then proposed where S is the OR of the inverted P signal and the AND of Q and R.

Following figure is a simple copy machine.

A stop signal S is to be generated to stop the machine


operation and energize an indicator light whenever either of the following conditions exists:
i)
ii)

There is no paper in the paper feeder tray


The two micro-switches in the paper path are activated, indicating a jam in the paper path.

The presence of paper in the feeder tray is indicated by a HIGH at logic signal P. Each of the micro
switches produces a logic signal (Q & R) that goes HIGH whenever paper is passing over the switch
to activate it. Design a logic circuit to produce a HIGH at output signal S for the stated conditions.

Solution:
The S output will be a logic 1 whenever P=0 because this indicates no paper in the paper feeder
tray. S will also be a 1 for the two cases where Q and R both indicating a paper jam.
