Paper end
The end of the roll of paper is detected at two stages, paper near-end and
paper-end.
When paper near-end is detected, "PAPER LOW" appears on the LCD and the
LED lights orange. Prepare a new paper roll.
When paper-end is detected, "Paper end" appears on the LCD and the LED
lights red. Load a new paper roll.
Paper cover open
Do not open the paper cover during printing. If the paper cover is opened, the
LED and LCD light red. Check the paper and always pull a few cm of paper
straight out of the printer before closing the paper cover. Printing resumes.
Sending a command to resume printing may be required depending on the
memory switch setting.
Cutter lock
If the auto cutter cannot move because of a paper jam or something else, the
LED and LCD light red. Remove the cause of the trouble and press button 1
(FEED). If the auto cutter still does not operate and the paper cover does not
open, refer to "4.3 Clearing a Cutter Lock (2)".
Head overheat
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 LED and LCD light orange. Printing
resumes automatically when the print head cools.
