  The printout might be unclear because the paper is loaded in the wrong direction or is of poor quality. Ensure the paper roll is loaded correctly and use recommended paper. The print head might also need cleaning, or the print darkness may be set too low, so clean the print head and adjust print darkness. Finally, check that the input voltage is sufficient by using a power supply that meets the printer's requirements.

  The printer may stop and warn errors due to a paper end, paper jams in the cutter, dust or wastepaper covering the paper near end sensor, or because the printer is set to stop when paper is near the end. Install a new paper roll, check the cutter path for obstructions, and clean the paper near end sensor.
