[Paper out]
When the “paper out” detector senses the end of the paper, the printer stops
printing after printing a maximum of two more lines or on feeding the paper. The
printer will set the DTR to “MARK” and set the printer to OFF LINE five seconds
after a “paper out” condition is detected. To reset the printer after a “paper out”,
load a new roll of paper into the printer and press the OFF LINE switch to set the
printer ON LINE.
[Mechanical error]
Mechanical errors occur when the front cover is opened during printing and
printing stops or when the motor locks and printing stops. After the error occurs,
the printer outputs an X-OFF signal and stops printing. The printer sets the DTR
signal to “MARK” and sets to OFF LINE five seconds after a mechanical error
occurs. To reset the printer after a mechanical error occurs, close the front cover
properly and press the ON LINE switch. If a buzzer sounds and the ALARM lamp
flashes at this point, locate the cause of the error and turn the power off and then
back on to reset the printer.
