has been made at both the outlet and the

 

 

 

 

 

printer; also, ensure the power switch is

 

 

 

 

 

‘On’.

 

 

 

 

 

∙ Verify that the AC outlet is functioning, or

 

 

 

 

 

try moving the printer to another AC

 

 

 

 

 

circuit.

 

 

 

 

 

∙ The AC cord may be damaged; replace it.

inked side, press the adhesive backing of a

 

 

 

 

 

label against the ribbon surface. Ink will

 

 

 

 

 

only lift from the coated side of the

5.3.1); then replace the ribbon with the

 

 

 

 

 

correct type for the printer, Section 3.3.

 

If there is no image on the used ribbon:

Run any Quick Test Label; see Section 4.3. If an image printed, then check the protocol and port settings for both the printer and host. These must match.

The heat setting may be too low. Make an adjustment in the software program or through the Front Panel. (The same functional commands from the host computer override the menu settings.)

The media/ribbon combination may be incorrect. Contact a Media Representative.

The printhead or printhead cable(s) may be loose; power ‘Off’ the printer then reconnect; see Section 5.2 for locations.
