Platform Feed/Lift Obstruction Error (Eddie)

Ensure the crumb catcher is installed correctly and not blocking the cookie sensor on the right side or the front-to-back movement of the platform/tongue. The hooks on the back of the crumb catcher should align with the slots on the back of the printer. You should be able to see the hooks on the back of the printer.

4. Install the tinted cover. Make sure you install the tinted cover. It helps block any excess light from affecting the cookie sensor.
