b) Procedure after replacing the head management sensor
Since the distance between the head management sensor and the carriage unit varies among printers, the optical axis is factory-adjusted to adjust the non-discharging
detection position. When you have replaced the head management sensor or performed assembly/reassembly of surrounding parts that can change the distance be-
tween the head management sensor and the carriage unit, reasjustment is required.
Peform the readjustment in the service mode.
Service mode : SERVICE MODE > ADJUST > NOZZLE CHK POS.

Since multi sensors have individual electrical specificity, the following are recalibrated at the factory, namely, the optical axis of the sensor, the sensor gain for
measuring the printhead height and sensor reproduction. Accordingly, carry out the following adjustments in the service mode whenever replacing the carriage unit
or multi sensor.
* The multi sensor reference plate must be replaced at the same time whenever the carriage or the multi sensor is being replaced.
* When replacing the carriage unit, refer to Adjustment and Setup > Procedure after Removing or Replacing the Carriage Unit.
