5.2.4 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
operation can be performed only from the Setting Diskette.
CHECK POINT
After this operation, the reset value for the TPE
LEVEL is printed out automatically. Check that the
reset value is FF .
