Error
The printing paper set is not set.
The head-up lever is at its up position.
Platen is not mounted.
A VP voltage is beyond its allowable range (4.2 to 8.5V)
A head temperature is less than 0˚C or 65 ˚C or higher.
When driving the cutter, the cutter is locked due to an external factor
(Paper jam, etc.).
Description
* When MLT-388 is used.
* When MLT-389 is used.
CAUTION: The 8.5V upper-limit voltage for VP voltage error is only an assumptive voltage just after
charging the battery when using the battery power. It cannot be normally used. A normal
maximum voltage is 7.2V.

Error
Set the paper. See Note 1.
Bring down the head-up lever.
Mount the platen.
Set to a voltage within the allowable range (4.2 to 8.5V) and turn on the power
again. Alternatively, activate the Pin 17 (LF-SW) of the CN3 (interface connector).
At the lower limit (less than 0 C), printing becomes operational at 0 C higher.
At the upper limit (65 C or higher), it become operational at 60 C or lower.
Eliminate paper jam and activate the Pin 17 (LF-SW) of the CN3 (interface
connector) or turn on the power again.
Resetting Method
* When MLT-388 is used.
* When MLT-389 is used.
CAUTION:
1. When auto loading has not been selected with the function selection jumper (J4), set the
paper manually. When it has been selected, the auto loading function is enabled to facilitate
replacement of the paper.
2. The 8.5V upper-limit voltage for VP voltage error is only an assumptive voltage just after
charging the battery when using the battery power. It cannot be normally used. A normal
maximum voltage is 7.2V.
