The printer’s Edge Sensor cannot see a gap or notch in the label stock.

Examine the Label Edge Sensor for obstructions (for example, labels stuck to the sensor or dust blocking the sensor).

Label Edge Sensor may be out of position for the size or type of media being used. Re-adjust the position.

The wrong type of Sensor TOF has been chosen. Re-configure the printer for the label type being used.

Possible defective Label Edge Sensor; call for service.

Listen for drive motor operation and verify that the platen roller is turning. If not, call for service.
