Honeywell PX45 RFID Enterprise error ERR-1005
The Honeywell PX45 RFID Enterprise error ERR-1005 is a printhead temperature alert. It signals that the head is either overheating due to high-duty cycles or experiencing a circuit fault that prevents accurate thermal monitoring.
Common causes
- 1Excessive printing density/speed.
- 2Defective thermal printhead sensor.
- 3Debris buildup affecting sensor heat reading.
- 4Internal circuit board voltage issue.
Solutions
Quick Diagnosis
If the ERR-1005 occurs during long jobs, your current thermal intensity might be too high for the ambient environment. Check if the printhead feels hot to the touch.Step-by-Step Solution
- Ventilation: Move the unit to a cooler location.
- Clean Printhead: Wipe off any baked-on debris.
- Darkness Adjustment: Decrease the heat intensity setting.
- Re-seat Cable: Check the ribbon cable if the error persists.
Prevention and Maintenance
Use high-quality media. Clean the printhead with every ribbon change.When to Call a Technician
If the error persists after cleaning and adjustments, the printhead thermistor may be failed.Technical Specifications

Frequently asked questions
This error means the printhead thermal sensor is reading a temperature outside the operating limit, usually triggered by excessive heat.
No, you should stop to prevent physical damage to the printhead's heating elements.
Use a dedicated printhead cleaning swab and isopropyl alcohol every time you replace the media ribbon.
Avoid running at maximum darkness settings for long periods and ensure the printer environment has adequate air circulation.
