Description of errors
Cover open: When you open the printer cover, the cover open sensor is
activated, causing the ERROR LED to light and the printing
operation to stop.
Head overheat: To protect the print head from being overheated, the head
temperature sensor is activated if the head temperature rises
over approx. 65°C, causing the ERROR LED to blink and the
printing operation to stop. Printing resumes automatically
when the head temperature lowers below approx. 60°C.
Paper Near-end: As the paper roll diameter becomes small, the Paper Near-
end Sensor is activated and causes the ERROR LED to light,
indicating the paper supply has become low. (See “Selecting
the Paper Near-end Sensor valid for a paper end signal
output” and “Selecting the Paper Near-end Sensor valid for
print stop” described in “10. PRINT CONTROL FUNCTIONS”.)
Paper end: When the paper roll has run out, the Paper end-Sensor
located near the print head on the paper path detects the end
of the paper roll, causing the ERROR LED to light and printing
to stop. (See “Selecting the Paper Near-end Sensor valid for a
paper end signal output” and “Selecting the Paper Near-end
Sensor valid for print stop” described in “10. PRINT
CONTROL FUNCTIONS”.)
Cutter motor lock: While the cutter motor is running, if the cutter position
detecting sensor inside the cutter unit remains ON or OFF for
approx. 1 second or more, the printer determines that the
motor has locked, causing the cutter operation and printing to
stop. (See “4.7 Removing Paper Jams”.)
Low voltage error: Occurs when the voltage supplied to the printer decreases ; if
this has occurred, turn the power off immediately.
High voltage error: Occurs when the voltage supplied to the printer increases ; if
this has occurred, turn the power off immediately.
FEED switch
• Pressing this switch briefly causes one line of paper feeding. Holding down the
switch causes continuous paper feeding.
• While a macro is waiting to be executed, pressing the switch causes the macro
to be executed.
FEED switch and POWER switch
If you press the POWER switch while holding down the FEED switch, self printing
is performed.
