A paper detecting apparatus of an electrophotographic processor allows reduction of product cost by enabling total sensing of paper loading and paper transporting in a paper cassette with only one sensor. The paper detecting apparatus inter-actuates the second actuator for turning the switch on and off with the first actuator to which displacement is produced depending on paper loading in the paper cassette, and produces a displacement of the second actuator depending on the actuation of the first actuator. It also produces a displacement of the second actuator depending on the paper transport, and is thereby able to sense both the paper loading state within the paper cassette and the paper transport state within the picture processor according to the on/off state of the switch. Accordingly, both paper loading within the paper cassette and paper transporting within the electrophotographic processor can be sensed through the use of only one sensor. Therefore, product cost reduction may be achieved.
