VORSICHT: Bei der thermischen Plottertechnologie entstehen hohe Temperaturen. Ungeeignete Medien oder falsche Kontrasteinstellungen können den Druckkopf oder andere Bauteile beschädigen und zu Verlust der Garantie führen. Auch können Beschädigungen an den Medien entstehen.

Form feed stops before desired length

Possible Cause: The form feed length is too short. The form feed stops before the paper sensor can read the “top of form” mark.

Form feed does not stop at top-of-form marks

Possible Cause: The top-of-form sensor is not reading the marks.
