2.9.2 How to Use the Sensor Utility Page
To check the real-time status of all EC2000 sensors, use the touchscreen to navigate to Menu > Settings
> Sensors to open the Sensor Utility page. In normal operation with the top access door closed, with
all card stock hoppers inserted, and with the device just powered up and ready to process cards, the
Sensor Utility page should match Figure 2-3.
Figure 2-3 - Sensor Utility Page
To test a sensor, block or unblock it and verify its status changes. Table 2.2 provides descriptions of each
sensor and the cases where it is blocked or unblocked, and Figure 2-4 on page 17 shows where all sensors
are located in the device.
