Dispenser for sheet products and operating method

A method of operating a dispenser for sheet products, the dispenser comprising:

• a housing having a space inside for accommodating a stack of sheet products, wherein the products are stacked in a direction from a front towards a back of the stack, and wherein the housing includes a dispensing opening for dispensing a sheet product from the front of the stack;
• and
• an electronic controller;
• wherein:
• if a product is removed from the front of the stack through the dispensing opening, the controller is made to receive a pull-out signal indicating the removal of the product;
• and
• upon receiving said pull-out signal, the controller sends out a drive signal to transfer a number of sheet products from the front of the stack into a presentation position, and
• if the controller receives a low-level signal indicating that the amount of sheet products remaining within the housing has been reduced to below a predetermined level, wherein one or more sheet products remain within the housing, the controller enters into a low-level mode in which the sending of the drive signal in response to the pull-out signal is disabled.
