5.2.4 TPE Level Reset

This section describes how to reset the TPE (top paper end) level (value). Table 5-1 lists when you need to reset the TPE level. For example, if you do not perform this adjustment after you replace the PW sensor assembly, the printer does not recognize that the PW sensor has been replaced, and the ability of the new sensor to operate properly is limited. You can perform this procedure using the Settings diskette only.

9 IMPORTANT

 

 

 

After you perform the TPE level reset adjustment,

 

 

the printer automatically prints the reset value for
