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

  1. Ventilation: Move the unit to a cooler location.
  2. Clean Printhead: Wipe off any baked-on debris.
  3. Darkness Adjustment: Decrease the heat intensity setting.
  4. 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.

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.
