Issue
NOTE
Opening the Top Cover while printing moves the Print Head Holder to the right.
Close the Top Cover, and reopen it after printing finishes.
Cause and Solution
Ensure that the printer is turned on.
The Print Head Holder will not move unless the power is on. If the POWER lamp is off, close the Top Cover and turn the power on.
If the POWER lamp is flashing blue, the printer is initializing. When the POWER lamp stops flashing and remains lit blue, open the Top Cover again.
When the ALARM lamp is flashing orange, close the Top Cover to check the number of how many the ALARM lamp flashes and take the appropriate action to resolve the error. Then reopen the Top Cover.
When the ALARM lamp is flashing orange, an error may have occurred on the printer. For details on how to resolve the error, refer to "
ALARM Lamp Flashes Orange ".
If the Top Cover has been left open for a while, close and reopen it.
If the Top Cover is left open for more than 10 minutes, the Print Head Holder moves to the right to prevent the Print Head from drying out. Close and reopen the Top Cover to return the Print Head Holder to the center.
If the printer is preparing to feed paper from the Front Tray (when the FRONT FEED button is flashing quickly), close the Top Cover and press the FRONT FEED button. Wait until the FRONT FEED button stops flashing and stays lit, and then open the Top Cover.
To continue printing from the Front Tray after replacing the ink tank, go to "
Loading Paper" and start printing again.
If the printer was printing continuously for a long time, close the Top Cover, wait a while, then reopen it.
The Print Head can overheat when continuously printing for a long time. To protect the Print Head, the printer will sometimes pause automatically at a line break before resuming. In this event, close the Top Cover for a while, then reopen it to move the Print Head Holder to the center.
