  • 2Extremely high darkness setting.
  • 3Burned residue accumulation on the printhead.

Solutions

Diagnostic

The error appears when the configured thermal limit is exceeded. Check if it happens only after long continuous industrial print batches.

Troubleshooting steps

  1. Stop printing and power off the machine for at least 10 minutes.
  2. Adjust the temperature (darkness) in the menu to reduce thermal load.
  3. Ensure the environment has sufficient airflow.
  4. If the error appears at power-on, the printhead temperature sensor is malfunctioning.

Prevention and maintenance

Clean the thermal printhead with specific alcohol every time you change a roll. Do not set darkness settings unnecessarily high.

When to call a technician

If the error persists after a full cooldown, the thermal printhead is internally damaged and needs professional replacement.
