printing to stop and the message NOW PRINTING ” to appear on the display. This indicates that the printer is overheated. If this happens, just stand by and printing will resume as soon as the printer returns to normal temperature.

• If the message NOW PRINTING ” appears and printing stops frequently, try making the print density lighter. See page 55 of the User’s Guide.
