Error Status When an error occurs, the printer stops operating, goes offline, and the Error LED flashes. There are three possible error types: automatically recoverable errors, recoverable errors, and unrecoverable errors. Automatically Recoverable Errors Printing is no longer possible when automatically recoverable errors occur. They can recover easily, as described below.
Printing is no longer possible when unrecoverable errors occur. If the same error occurs again even after turning the power back on, contact your dealer or a Epson service center. Immediately turn off the power and remove the battery when unrecoverable errors occur.
Graphics, such as shop logos to be printed on receipts, can be stored. Even if communication speed is low, high speed graphic printing is possible. Use the TM-P60II Utility to register graphics. You can also print and confirm the registered graphics in the TM-P60II Utility or NV graphics memory print mode.
