Preventing Paper Jams and How to Handle it
When the printer receives a print command, it will start to execute the print job. It is recommended not to place any objects in front of the printer’s paper output port and to wait until the printer has finished printing and cutting the paper before taking the document. If a paper jam occurs, it may cause the cutter to lock (an error LED will be displayed). In this case, do not forcibly open the paper roll cover. Please check :[Hardware] Unlock the Printer Cutter
