What To Do If...
SATO printers are very reliable, so printing problems are unlikely. If you do
think you have a printer problem, proceed as follows:
1. Confirm that the printer has the right media installed, and that it is
loaded correctly. See page 4 for media loading instructions.
2. Confirm that the printer is connected to its power supply and the sup-
ply is plugged into an AC outlet having the proper voltage.
3. Open the print head and inspect the media path. Remove any obstruc-
tions, and clean the print head and drive roller according to the in-
structions on page 11.
4. Press down firmly on both print head latches to confirm that they are
closed.
5. Confirm that the printer READY indicator glows green.
6. Print a self-test label as described on page 9.
7. Press FEED to confirm that the printer will feed a label.
8. Review the common problems described in the following section.
9. If these steps do not correct the problem, contact your dealer or our
Technical Support Department.

cabling problem.
