Speed of print
A printer is designed to print at a certain ppm (page per minute), so really there is only one way to speed it up. When you select the print option from the File menu, you can select properties and see if you can change the dpi (dots per inch) of the document. Your document will print faster but you will lose quality.

Check the paper sensors in the paper path, and the printhead home sensor. Paper path sensors (one or more) will be present somewhere around the platen & tractor feed areas. Printhead home will be over on the left side in the printhead movement area.
Logic board defects could likely cause this same issue, diagnosis here could be more difficult.
PAUSE LIGHT
check the cover sensor at the right side of the printer..
A continous pink light
Please read through these instructions first and then follow the steps below:
1. Please power the printer OFF.
2. Remove the printer cable from the back of the printer and remove all the paper as well.
3. Hold down the "FONT" and "TEAR OFF" buttons and turn the printer on.
4. Continue holding the "FONT" and "TEAR OFF" buttons down for five (5) seconds and then release both at the same time.
5. Power the printer OFF.
6. Reconnect the printer cable.
7. Reinstall paper and ensure the thickness selector is in the correct position and that the path selector is also correct.

Remove and reinstall the ribbon. Also, while the ribbon is out, try spinning the knob on it.
DOES NOT PRINT
hi, sometimes the ribbon can get bunched up when you install them, try this, manually turn the knob on the cartridge to take up the slack and watch very closely when you install the cartridge so that the ribbon stays flat all the way down into the machine, use a flashlight and a magnifying glass if necessary.
good luck
