NOTES

(*1) These conditions are selected by MSW8-5, 8-8. When MSW8-5 (mapping of the cover open status) is off, the error hasn’t occurred but there is a “paper end error” instead. If MSW8-8 is off, this error is handled as an automatically recoverable error.

(*2) Print head temperature error is not abnormal.

• Recoverable errors

When a recoverable error occurs, after the cause of the error is removed, the printer can recover from the error by receiving an error recovery command without turning off the power.
