Check the following possibilities:

Verify that the AC power cord is connected to the outlet and

to the printer, and that the Power Switch is ON;

Verify that the AC outlet is functioning, or move the printer

to another location on a different circuit;

Replace a possibly damaged AC cord;

The line fuse may be blown (call for service); or,

If using a tall model, possible disconnected or defective fan;
call for service.

No print using direct

thermal media (labels
advance normally):

Test the labels to be sure they react to heat then proceed

accordingly:

If reactive, increase the HEAT setting in the software
program or via the menu (see Section 4.2.2); or,

If not reactive, install direct thermal media.

No print using thermal
transfer media (labels

advance normally):

Examine the used ribbon for an image, then proceed

accordingly:

If an image is on the used ribbon, verify that the ribbon was
properly loaded. (To identify the coated side, press the

sticky side of a label against the ribbon surfaces -- ink will
lift from the coated side.) Clean the printhead (see Section

5.5.1) and reinstall the ribbon (see Section 3.3); or,

If no image is on the used ribbon, try the following:

Run a Test label, and if an image printed then ensure that

the protocol and port settings for the printer and host
match; see Section 4.2.5.

Increase the HEAT setting; see Section 4.2.2.

Verify that the media and ribbon combination is compatible;

see Section 7.3.
