If the auto cutter cannot move because of a paper jam or something else, the
CUTTER LED flashes. Remove the cause of the trouble and press the FEED

Print head hot

environment, the print head temperature increases. If the print head exceeds a
specified temperature, the printer stops printing and waits for the print head to
cool. When this happens, the PAPER LED, CUTTER LED, and COVER LED flash.
Printing resumes automatically when the print head cools.
