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. However, by making a proper setting on

 

the DIP switch, the paper can be fed through the printer with

 

the cover open.

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:

When the diameter of the paper roll becomes small, the Paper

 

Near End sensor located on the side of the upper cover roller

 

will be activated. An ERROR light will come on to indicate that

 

the paper supply has become low. (See “Selecting the Paper

 

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 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 Releasing a Locked Cutter”.)

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.
