Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

The printer stops in the middle of a job and the red light flashes. The printhead gets hot from the power required to melt the ribbon wax or burn the thermal paper. Adjusting the darkness setting can be the key.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Immediately stop jobs sent to the printer.
  2. Leave the lid open for 15 minutes to speed up cooling.
  3. Check in the settings if 'Darkness' is set too high.
  4. If the error persists, reduce the print speed.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Avoid setting darkness to maximum levels if not strictly necessary. Ensure the workspace has stable temperature and adequate ventilation.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the 600 error appears within minutes of turning on the machine while cold, the printhead temperature sensor is broken.
