automatically.
Confirm that the POWER lamp is flashing, and then press the FEED button.
*2 Press the FEED button.
*3 Refer to the separate installation manual of the optional near end sensor for
details.
Because the near end sensor is not installed at the time of shipment (factory
setting), the error is not displayed if the sensor is not installed.

A print head temperature error is not abnormal.
*5 Automatically the printer is recovered after the board has cooled.
*6 Automatically the printer is recovered if the cutter returns to the home position
after turning the power OFF and ON.
