Note 5: At most, but not all, printer crashes, the console is reset.
This will make the RTW go off.
Note 6: If the printhead temperature rises above 100°C (212°F),
an error occurs and the printing will be paused until the
printhead has cooled off. Meanwhile, the printer is able to receive
commands and data until the buffer is filled. The printing is
automatically resumed when the printhead temperature has
reached 85°C (185°F).
