Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

E005 is triggered when the printhead exceeds thermal limits. If your prints are fading, the ribbon is dry, which forces the printhead to work harder.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Turn off and wait 30 minutes.
  2. Replace the ink ribbon if it is aged/dry.
  3. Check for paper particles clogging the pins.
  4. Restart the print job.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Switch ribbons before they run completely dry to avoid overheating the pins. Regular pause intervals during batch printing help longevity.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the printhead continues to report E005, it must be replaced by a qualified technician.
