Frequently asked questions

This is a standard notification that the lid sensor does not detect the lid being closed.

No, it's a safety measure; the printer won't print until it's properly closed.

Use standard direct thermal labels, as the sensor is independent of the supply type.

Use compressed air to clean the lid sensor to prevent particle accumulation.
