Description

Possible Solution(s)

RIBBON FAULT

Two causes are possible:


(1) The Thermal Transfer

media type has been
selected, but no ribbon

movement or only
sporadic movement has
been detected.


(2) The ribbon sensor

values have changed.

If using direct thermal stock,

change the Media Type setting
to Direct Thermal; otherwise

ensure that ribbon is installed.

Press the FEED Key to clear the
fault -- if the fault does not
clear check the Ribbon Hubs for

free movement. Also, ensure
that the ribbon core fits snugly

onto the supply hub, and that
the ribbon is not slipping or

stalling as labels print. If no
binding, slipping, or stalling is

apparent press and hold the
FEED Key until at least three
labels have been output. If the

fault does not clear, call for
service.

TEMPERATURE FAULT

The printer has
shutdown due to the

printhead temperature.

Turn OFF the printer. Ensure
that the printer has been

installed within an acceptable
environment. DO NOT restart

until the printhead cools.
