Troubleshooting

The ribbon does not advance

The ribbon is installed incorrectly. Make sure that the dull side (side with ink) is facing the paper.

A bad ribbon/paper combination is resulting in an insufficient amount of friction between paper and ribbon. Ensure that the correct type of ribbon is being used.

Skips every other label

The label is formatted too close to the top edge of the form. Leave white space equal to 8-dot rows at the top of the label, approx. .02" (.5 mm).

Check operation of the Top-of-Form Sensor.

Unable to print in rotation 4

The characters are formatted outside the dimensions of the label. Check that the row/column values provide enough room for the height of the characters or bar code to be printed.

Prints light on the right side of the label

The Printhead is adjusted for thick media or cardstock.

The Printhead is not properly aligned, call for service.
