2.12.3 Error Control
If an error or Power OFF event occurs, it shall be handled according to the settings made with the
ESC commands for specification of continuous printing after an error.

Notes:
7. The instantly stops printing of the dot line currently printed and resets the error that occurs, and
then resumes printing from the dot line at which the printing was stopped. As a result, a ± 1
dot-line of deviation can occur.
8. It is difficult to avoid an error caused by VDETP or the head temperature through user
operation. Thus, this system always enables continuous printing after an error, irrespective of
whether it is explicitly specified or not. In order to forcibly discontinue printing after an error
clear the print data by sending the ESC command of “CAN” after the error has occurred.
9. A VDETP error that has occurred can be reset by battery pack replacement (Suspend/Resume).
However, even after the battery voltage is recovered through charging the battery pack, always
turn on and off the power.
10. For an error caused by the detected marker, the printing operation stops and an error is returned,
irrespective of whether “Continuous printing after error” is specified.
11. After VDETP or Head temperature error has occurred, print data is retained until a next print
request (text print, image print, etc.) is made even if power OFF or VDET2 occurs.
