4.2.4 TPE Level Reset
This section describes the procedure to reset the TPE (top paper end) level. This operation is required when
the PW sensor assembly is replaced, and if it is not performed, the printer does not recognize that the PW
sensor has been replaced, thus, limiting the ability of the new sensor to operate. This reset operation can be
performed only from the Settings Diskette.
Note:
After this operation, the reset value for the TPE LEVEL is printed out automatically.
Check that the reset value is
FF
