A system and method for providing the ability to more effectively control a paper
stack in a reproduction apparatus. The level control behavior of the paper stack
is characterized, and accordingly, additional lift commands are signaled when the
behavior indicates that such increments are necessary. The behavior is characterized
by sampling data during a sampling period including switch initiated increments.
Upon characterization, additional increments are initiated by a source other than
the switch initiated increments to more effectively control the paper stack.
