Common causes

  • 1Continuous high-density printing.
  • 2Blocked ventilation due to dust or covers.
  • 3Excessive friction from dirty print head.
  • 4Ambient operating temperature too high.

Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

The screen displays 'HEAD-TEMP' and halts printing. Why is my PB51 showing error HEAD-TEMP? Thermal-dense print tasks have pushed the component beyond safe operational temperatures.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Cool Down: Stop printing and let the device idle for 20 minutes.
  2. Airflow: Clear any blocked chassis vents.
  3. Head Cleaning: Remove adhesive or dust residue to reduce thermal friction.
  4. Darkness Adjustment: Lower the print darkness settings via the configuration tool.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Avoid non-stop high-speed printing. Keep the print head clean of adhesive residue.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the error appears on a 'cold' boot, the internal thermal sensor is likely faulty and requires a repair.

Frequently asked questions

The printer has reached its internal thermal limit, likely due to high-density, continuous print jobs.

No. Ignoring this will eventually melt the print head elements, leading to hardware failure.

Use certified thermal paper. Poor quality media often increases print friction and heat requirements.

Lower the darkness setting or slow down print speed for large batches.
