IMPORTANT
About cooling mode
If the print head becomes too hot, printing will
stop so that the print head can cool down. At
that time, an extra vertical line will be printed
on the tape or fabric ribbon. After cooling,
printing will resume.
This may occur when printing a high volume
of text with a high print density.
To avoid or delay the onset of this condition,
edit your design to reduce the detail.
When printing stops in cooling mode, do
not open the top cover or bottom cover,
otherwise printing will not resume.
