(8) Paper End Level Check
Print head thermistor status:
0°C to 86°C
A thermistor built in the print head detects a print head
temperature. The current supplied to the print head (= print tone)
is controlled on the basis of this temperature.
When the print head overheats (80°C or over), the printer
displays "EXCESS HEAT TEMP" message and stops printing to
protect the print head.
Temperature inside the printer (around the media) is detected.
The current supplied to the print head (= print tone) is controlled
on the basis of this temperature. When the temperature of 61°C
is detected, an error message, "EXCESS HEAT TEMP", is
displayed and the printer stops.
Real time voltage detected by the black mark sensor is
displayed/printed.
Real time voltage detected by the feed gap sensor is
displayed/printed.
There is individual variability in average resistance of the thermal
element. The current supplied to the print head is controlled on
the basis of this value to obtain the optimal print tone.
