Questions and answers
We are useing a Cab Eos 2 to print label but have now got an issue, after chaning the thermal fillament ribbon, The rewind roller isn't turning while printing which leads to the filiment jamming which then caused the printer to go into an error state and ask for the ribbion to be removed. I have attached an image of the way I have the filament setup. Its stange because the roller works when doing a test print.
The rewind roller on the CAB EOS2 printer may not turn after changing the thermal filament ribbon if the printer is set to direct thermal printing but a transfer ribbon is still loaded. In this case, the printer expects no ribbon to be present. To fix this:
- Remove the ribbon if using direct thermal printing.
- If thermal transfer printing is intended, ensure the printer is correctly set to transfer printing in the software or printer configuration.
Incorrect ribbon loading or configuration mismatch can cause the rewind roller to stop functioning.
