Cause

The lift motor is too hot. Do not print more than 300 stamps at a time, because exceeding this amount may cause the lift motor to overheat.

Resolution

If you have printer temperature issues, try the solutions in order.

Solution 1: Wait for cool down

Allow the device to cool down for two hours by not printing anything and letting it sit idle. Do not power off the device or leave the ink door open during the cool-down period.

Solution 2: Physically disconnect and reconnect the device

If the error message does not go away after the two-hour cool down, restart the device by unplugging from the power outlet.

  1. Disconnect the power cord from the back of the machine.
  2. Wait ten seconds.
  3. Plug the cord back in firmly.
  4. Tap the power button.
