known to use any of the sensors to sense a magnetic field,
electromagnetic field, infrared photons or fluorescent photons

electromagnetic field, infrared photons or fluorescent
photons, there would be no reason or motivation to utilize
known sensors to detect such fields or photons in ink jet
printing apparatus.
