• The ribbon is installed incorrectly. Make sure that the dull
side (side with ink) is facing the paper.

amount of friction between paper and ribbon. Ensure that the
correct type of ribbon is being used.

• The media sensor or media sensor circuitry may be defective,
call for service.
The labels start to print on an angle and the top-of-form is not
able to be sensed, (improper tracking of media) commonly
seen when switching between various widths of stock.
• The media is not loaded properly, see Section 1.6. When
loading media be certain that the media hub and media guide
are against the media.
