Print Quality Problems
No print on the label.
If you aren’t using ribbon, make sure the correct media (direct thermal)
is loaded. Try this: Quickly rub your nail or a blunt object over the
label surface. If it doesn’t produce dark marks, the wrong media
(thermal transfer) is loaded.
Are the media and ribbon loaded correctly? Follow the instructions in
“LoadingtheMediaand“LoadingtheRibboninGettingReadyto

The print mode may be incompatible with the media you are using. If
your printer is set for thermal transfer mode, you must use thermal
transfer, rather than direct thermal, media and a ribbon cartridge.
The media being used is incompatible with the printer. Be sure to use
the Zebra-recommended media for your application.
