General Resolutions (continued)

If experiencing this

problem…

Try this solution…

The LCD is off, but

indicator lights are
illuminated:

The Display Contrast may set too low – Press and hold the

MENU Key; see Section 4.1.1.

The LCD is off and no

indicator lights are
illuminated:

Verify that the AC power cord is connected to the outlet and
the printer, and that the power switch is ON.

Verify that the AC outlet is functioning, or try moving the
printer to another location with a different AC circuit.

The AC cord may be damaged, if so replace it.

The line fuse may be blown, if so call for service.

No print (labels advance

normally but are
blank):

Examine the used ribbon for an image –

If an image is present, then:

Verify that the ribbon was properly loaded per Section 3.4.

If properly loaded – then the wrong coating configuration is
being used. (To verify the inked (coated) side of a ribbon,
press the sticky side of a label against the surface – ink will

only lift from the coated side.) Clean the printhead (see
Section 5.6.1) and replace the ribbon with a correct type;

see Section 3.4.


If no image is present, then:

Print any test label (see Section 4.3) – If an image printed
then check the protocol and port settings for both the

printer and host; these must match.

The heat setting may be too low. Make an adjustment in
the software program or through the menu. (Same function
commands from the host computer can override the menu

settings; see Section 4.2.6.)

The media/ribbon combination may be incorrect – See
Section 7.2.2.

The printhead or printhead cable(s) may be loose – Power
OFF the printer before reconnection
– see Section 5.5
for locations.
