zPrint head hot

When you print dense characters, dark images, or for an extended time in a hot environment, the print head temperature increases. If the print head exceeds a specified temperature, the printer stops printing and waits for the print head to cool. When this happens, the ERROR LED flashes. Printing resumes automatically when the print head cools.
