Mechanical Error	: If the printer mechanism has a greater load due to a paper jam, etc.,
	the buzzer will sound and the ERROR lamp will blink to stop the
	printer mechanism.
Paper End	: If the paper has run out, the paper sensor in the paper path near the
	print head will detect the end of the paper roll, turn on the buzzer,
	and illuminate the ERROR lamp to stop the printer mechanism. If
	the paper is inserted into the paper path, the paper roll will be loaded.
	(See 4.7 Inserting the Paper)
Paper Near End	: If the paper is running out, the paper near end sensor will be
	activated to turn on the buzzer and make the ERROR lamp blink.

Even after the paper near end is detected, a command can be used to print by the specified number of lines. (See a description on the command for setting the number of print lines after paper near end detection)
