    [Misc] Re: MP CW2200 no paper detection

    I've had to clean the DRESS SENSOR to fix this problem before. It's located on the left side of the carriage. Easy to remove the cover for it(screw is way up on top).

    Thanks for the suggestions: line voltage is steady at 120-ish; resistance on lamp 1 is 4ohms, lamp 2 is 8 ohms (if I remember right).
