Table 13. LCD Message Troubleshooting
The printer does not sense media:
•
Media was not installed or has run out.
•
A break in media has occurred.
•
Media was not routed or installed correctly.
•
The media sensor is not positioned correctly.
•
Media is installed correctly, but the sensor is not detecting it.
•
Sensors > Control > Gap/Mark Thresh value may be set too
high and/or Sensors > Control > Paper Out Thresh may be set
too low.
•
The printer detected a false PAPER OUT when changing to
Gap or Mark sensing or vice-v ersa.
1. Install media. If a break occurred, reinstall the media. Press
the PAUSE key to clear the fault message.
2. Verify the lower media sensor is properly positioned under the
media. Run Auto Calibrate to improve the ability of the sensor
to detect the installed media.
3. Check if the Gap/Mark Threshold is too high or the Paper Out
Threshold is too low. Lower the Gap/Mark Threshold or raise
the Paper Out Threshold value.
4. If using media with no gaps or black marks, perform Auto
Calibrate to establish a valid Paper Out Threshold.
5. If the printer detected a false PAPER OUT when changing to
Gap or Mark sensing or vice-versa, press the PAUSE key and
run Auto Calibrate.
Parity error (serial interface).
1. Check your serial host interface parameter settings. If
necessary, change them so they match the settings of the
attached host.
This is a status message. The printer is in low-energy idle state,
the higher voltages are off, and only +5Vdc logic circuits are active.
No action required.

1. Reseat the cables on printhead.
2. Change the printhead.
3. Place printer in a warmer location.
4. If problem persists, contact your authorized service
