The printer stops.
The printer is defragmenting
memory.
Caution • Do NOT turn off the printer
power during defragmenting. Doing so
can damage the printer.
Allow the printer to finish
defragmenting. If you get this error
message frequently, check your label
formats. Formats that write to and erase
memory frequently may cause the
printer to defragment often. Using
properly coded label formats usually
minimizes the need for defragmenting.
If this error message does not go away,
contact Technical Support. The printer
requires service.
The printer stops; the
ERROR light flashes.
Caution • The cutter blade is sharp. Do not touch or rub the blade
with your fingers.
The cutter blade is in the media
path.
Turn off the printer power and unplug
the printer. Inspect the cutter module
for debris and clean as needed
following the cleaning instructions in
Clean the Cutter Module on page 104.
There is not enough memory to
perform the function specified on
the second line of the error
message.
Free up some of the printer’s memory
by adjusting the label format or printer
parameters. One way to free up
memory is to adjust the print width to
the actual width of the label instead of
leaving the print width set to the
default. See Set Print Width
on page 75.
Ensure that the data is not directed to a
device that is not installed or is
unavailable.
Refer to the Maintenance Manual for
more information about the specified
function.
