Remedy
Fix the paper and carbon ribbon securely. Also,
release the head-open lever of the printer head
unit, then set the paper and carbon ribbon to the
normal position again. Finally, latch the print head
back in place.
If the platen roller is dirty, wipe off the dirt with the
supplied cleaning set.
If the edges of the paper/carbon ribbon are deformed,
the paper cannot be fed normally. Use new paper/
carbon ribbon which are not deformed.
Be sure to use genuine paper and
carbon ribbon specifically
designed for the printer. Generic
supplies may cost less, but can
result in poor printing quality or
shortened equipment life, leading
to higher operating costs in the
long run.
If the paper sensor is dirty, wipe off the dirt with
the supplied cleaning set. See Section 4: Cleaning
and Maintenance.
Turn on the power switch again.
If the error message still appears, check the software
on the computer or the configuration of the
connections.
Set the pitch correction (variable potentiometer) or base
point correction (User Mode setting) again.
