PTD55 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL
CUTTER ERROR
[Description]
If the cutter is not working correctly either due to an internal malfunction or a
paper jam, this error pattern will be triggered.
[Status flags]
This error involves the following flags activation:
n=<01>
H Printer status → Offline

=”1”.
n=<03>

[Recover action]
The printer tries to automatically recover from this error at printer initialization
(turning the printer on). Remove paper jam and try recovering the cutter blade
turning the printer on some times. If the autocutter does not return to its
normal position by itself, manually rotate the cutter motor gear to return the
cutter to its original position. (See Section -
OPEN CUTTER UNIT.)

It will be triggered when, being the black mark option set, the printer has cut a
ticket but has not found the next black mark. The possible reasons may be:
a) The paper does not have black mark.
b) The black mark is not in the right position.
c) The black mark does not have the right size or intensity
