I have the same problem, now for a 2nd time - that TFD1 sensor (center tray paper present sensor) stays active 100% of the time. You can get fooled if you power down the machine, the copier's internal count of how many pages have exited into the center tray without being removed, will be reset to zero. Drove me nuts on a new installation, where we had removed the MX-FN23 to simplify the machine. A couple days later, the copier said "Remove paper from center tray". Power down the copier and the message goes away. 500 pages later (or whatever the number is) the message comes back. We ended up re-installing the MX-FN23 finisher. Now I have another MX-M314N to install, and the customer doesn't need a finisher, but I am unable to get that TFD1 sensor to function. And contrary to what someone said, it is identical sensor (VHPGP1S73P+-18) as in use on the MX-M260N.

sensor is the same but the small 3 inch long wire harness that connects it is different than the mxm 260
The MX-M260N and MX-M264N center tray, paper present sensors are wired differently. If you want to put a MX-M260 center tray on a MX-M264N/M314N/M354N, the solution is a simple one - just cut and cross-connect the brown and orange wires. You can leave the gray wire alone.
