Common causes

  • 1Excessive darkness: Generating unnecessary heat.
  • 2High print speed: Reduced cooling time between labels.
  • 3Poor thermal environment: Lack of plant ventilation.
  • 4Dirty head: Accumulation of debris trapping heat.

Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

The error triggers when the head sensor returns a voltage reading out of range. Check for visible burn marks or irregular heat distribution.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Pause Printing: Stop printing immediately to let the print head dissipate heat.
  2. Environmental Check: Ensure the work environment is adequately ventilated.
  3. Adjust Darkness: Lower the 'Darkness' setting in the driver configuration.
  4. Clean Head: Clean the thermal head with alcohol once it cools down.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Use only genuine labels and ribbons. Maintain constant printing rates without extreme peaks and clean the head regularly.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the error appears immediately upon start-up or with low darkness settings, the head sensor may be faulty.
