Replacing the Upper Media Sensor
This procedure applies to both standard (fixed position) and moveable gap/blackline sensor
configurations.
You must remove the top cover and feed switch circuit board before performing this
procedure.
Removal
1. Detach the links from both the left and right sides of the top, inner frame.
2. Lift top inner frame away from the ribbon carriage. The flapper (the curved scoop) will
swing free of the ribbon carriage.
3. Remove the curved cover from the flapper (curved scoop) to expose the sensor’s cable.
4. Use a #0 Phillips screwdriver to detach the sensors’s circuit board.
5. Pull the end of the sensor’s cable free of the clip holding it under the feed switch. Pull the
sensor and its cable free of the upper chassis and out of the printer.
Caution • Prepare your work area by protecting against static discharge. Your work area
must be static-safe and include a properly grounded conductive cushioned mat to hold the
printer and a conductive wrist strap for yourself.
