Check transition from RPS mode to play mode : Using a pre-recorded SP tape, make sure the entry side of envelope comes to an appropriate

If the envelope waveform does not reach specified peak-to peak amplitude within 3 seconds, adjust as follows :
1) Make sure there is no gap between the supply roller lower flange and the tape.
If there is a gap, adjust the supply guide roller again.
2) Change operation mode from the RPS to the play mode (again) and make sure the entry side of envelope rises within 3 second.
