Caution • An improperly connected printhead data or

Allow the printhead to cool.
The printhead temperature is
approaching its lower
operating limit.
Continue printing while the
printhead reaches the correct
operating temperature. If the
error remains, the environment
may be too cold for proper
printing. Relocate the printer
to a warmer area.
The printhead data cable is not
properly connected.
Call a service technician to
hook up the printhead

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 144.
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
Print Width on page 96.
Ensure that the data is not
directed to a device that is not
installed or is unavailable.
If the problem persists, call a
service technician.
