Description
A small difference
exists between the
measured "empty" and
"gap" media sensor
readings.
Power has been
removed and printer
shutdown is in
progress.
The scheduled
printhead cleaning
distance has been
reached.
The host has changed
the printer's
configuration, but the
changes have not
taken effect.
A low operating
voltage has been
detected.
The ribbon supply is
almost exhausted.
The printer was
unable to save its
settings in permanent
memory.
A high printhead
temperature has been
detected.
3-8
(continued)
Solution
This is typical of labels mounted on a
transparent backing, or of notched media. A
slight delay in OUT OF STOCK detection may be
evident; however, no action is required.
The power switch was turned OFF, a fuse has
blown, or the AC line voltage has been lost. If
unable to restore power, try moving the printer
to another location. If the condition persists,
see Section 3.2.2.
Clean the printhead; see Section 2.4.1.
To save these changes, send a host reset
command (in DPL); or, to discard the changes,
perform a soft reset; see Section 2.7.1.
Possible low or fluctuating AC line voltage. Try
moving the printer to another AC circuit; or, if
more than 50% black is being printed, try
reducing the Heat value or modify the format's
percentage of black. If the condition persists,
possible failing Power Supply PCB; see Section
4.10.
Load a new roll of ribbon.
The Main Logic PCB could be faulty. If the
condition persists, see Section 4.11.
Wait for the printhead to cool and then, when
an acceptable temperature has been reached,
operations will automatically resume.
