sensors are designed to detect the status of the cover, open or closed.
●
The Ink Door Sensor senses whether the Ink Cartridge Cover is open or closed. Opening the Ink Cartridge
Cover starts ink cartridge replacement automatically. The sensor is hosted in the printer chassis.

Central Window is open or closed.
IMPORTANT: HP Designjet T730 Printer only: Be careful to avoid damaging the sensor while removing
the Central Cover. See Central Cover on page 284.
●
The PHA Door sensor detects the door opening so that the printer is aware of the user’s intention of
interacting with the PHI connector or PHA.
●
The Output Tray Sensor senses whether the Output Tray is open or closed. To avoid paper jams while
printing on roll paper, the tray should be closed.
IMPORTANT: Damage to the covers can cause the sensors to malfunction.
