Print Quality Problems

No print on the label.

•If you aren’t using ribbon, make sure the correct media (direct thermal) is loaded. Try this: Quickly rub your nail or a blunt object over the label surface. If it doesn’t produce dark marks, the wrong media (thermal transfer) is loaded.

•Are the media and ribbon loaded correctly? Follow the instructions in “Loading the Media” and “Loading the Ribbon” in “Getting Ready to Print”.
