Unit 5: Troubleshooting
EXPLANATION
Media was not installed or has run out.
A break in media has occurred.
Media was not correctly routed or installed.
Media sensor is not correctly positioned.
Media is correctly installed, but the sensor is not
detecting it.
Gap/Mark Thresh value may be set too high
and/or Paper Out Thresh may be set too low.
Tear-Off or Peel-Off Media Handling selection
was attempted with the cutter option still
installed. These modes require that the front
door assembly be installed to use the Label
Taken Sensor.
If the printer is powered on with the cutter
enabled in the Media Handling menu, but the
cutter itself is open (in the down position, or the
cutter upper enclosure is removed) the printer
cannot detect the cutter.
When using the cutter, the printer must be
powered on with the cutter in the up position and
the cutter upper enclosure installed.
The print head has become overheated.
Print head lost power.
An attempt was made to download a non-
compatible program file.
Ribbon is broken between the ribbon rewind
spindle and the print head.
Ribbon supply is empty.
Install media. If a break has occurred, reinstall
the media. Press the Pause key to clear the fault
message.
Verify the media sensor is properly posioned.
Run Auto-Cal to improve the ability of the sensor
to detect the installed media.
Check if the Gap/Mark Threh is too high or the
Paper Out Thresh is too low. Adjust the values
as necessary.
If using media without gaps or eye-marks,
perform Run Auto-Cal to establish a valid Paper
Out Thresh.
Select a different Media Handling mode.
Ensure the cutter option is installed, connected
in the up position and the upper enclosure
installed before powering on the printer.
Install the cutter option or change to the correct
Media Handling option in the MEDIA SETUP
menu.
If the error persists, contact an authorized
customer service representative.
Allow the print head to cool down for 5 minutes,
then press the Pause key. Resume printing.
If possible, reduce print intensity.
If the problem persists, contact an authorized
customer service representative.

Power off the printer for 15 seconds, then power
on again. If the problem persists, contact an
authorized customer service representative.
Try downloading again. If the problem persists,
contact
representative.
