Sensor Replacement (EasyCoder 501 XP and 601 XP)
Before replacing the sensor, check that the sensor arm is properly
adjusted and that the sensor is free from dust, paper shreds, and
other things that can block the light.
Replace the sensor as follows:
• Switch off the power, remove the power cord, and remove the
cover over the electronics compartment.
• Check that the printhead is lowered.
• Remove the #T10 Torx screw that holds the front of the sensor.
• Raise the printhead.
• Remove the #T10 Torx screw that holds the rear of the sensor.
• Pull out the sensor and disconnect its cable from the CPU
board.
• Reassemble in reverse order. The sensor’s cable should be con-
nected to P50 (marked “HEADL”) on the CPU board.
• Check that the sensor works properly using a PRSTAT state-
ment, see
