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.
