Fujitsu FTP-628MCL Thermal Error E-06: Paper Sensor

The Fujitsu FTP-628MCL Thermal error E-06 signifies that the paper sensor is unable to detect a roll of thermal paper. This is commonly caused by dust particles blocking the optical sensor or the paper being incorrectly placed, preventing the sensor flag from triggering. Simple cleaning typically rectifies the problem.
