Toshiba B-EX4T3 Head Up Error Fix

The Toshiba B-EX4T3 error head-up is a mechanical warning indicating the printhead pressure lever is not closed. In industrial printing, the head must be precisely set; if the sensor doesn't detect it, the printer locks to safeguard the hardware. Re-engaging the lever is the standard fix.
