Sensor/Switch  Print status content description 
Printer block open sensor  Detects the Open or Close status of the printer block.  W hen 
the printer block is closed, printing is performed. 
Print head up sensor  Detects the Up or Down status of the print head.  W hen the 
print head is down, printing is performed. 
Cutter home position sensor  Indicates whether or not the cutter is at the home position. 
Rewinder overflow sensor  Detects the amount of the rewound backing paper in strip 
printing mode.  If the amount overflows the capacity, printing 
cannot be performed. 
Ribbon take-up motor sensor 
Ribbon feed motor sensor Controls ribbon motor rotation by detecting the slit on the 
ribbon take-up motor and the ribbon feed motor.  Indicates 
the position of the slit sensor. 
Strip sensor  Detects whether or not the label is at the paper outlet in strip 
printing mode.  W hen the label is not detected, the printer 
feeds the label at the print start position.

  5.3.5  Print Head Element Check 
When the Self-Diagnostic Test result is printed, the message returns to “DIAG. Vx.x”.  Press 
the [PAUSE]
 key three times and [FEED]
 key twice. 
 
The printer is ready to check the print head to see if there is any problem with the print head.  
Press the [PAUSE]
 key to start. 
 
 
 
 The printer starts checking the print head. 
 
 
 
If there is no problem with the print head, the print head check is complete.  Press the [PAUSE]
 
key to return to “DIAG. Vx.x”. 
 
 
 
 If there is a problem with the print head, the following message is displayed. 
 
 
 
 Press the [PAUSE]
 key to return to “DIAG. Vx.x”. 
 
 
NOTES: 1.  Make sure that the Top Cover is closed before starting the print head check. 
  
2.  If “HEAD ERROR” appears, the print head element may be damaged.  Replace 
the print head.
 
  
3.  The print head element check can be performed at the power on time. 
    For selecting this function, refer to Section 5.4 Parameter Setting.
