Honeywell PC23d Plus II error C-002: Sensor Fault

The Honeywell PC23d Plus II error C-002 signals a failure to detect the label gap or mark. If the printer cannot identify the start of the next label, it halts printing. Proper sensor calibration is the primary solution for the C-002 error.

  • 1Dust accumulation in the gap sensor.
  • 2Media misalignment.
  • 3Wrong sensor type configured.
  • 4Sensor hardware defect.

Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

If the printer halts mid-job or fails to align correctly, the sensor might be covered in paper dust or miscalibrated for the specific media type in use.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Sensor cleaning: Blow out the sensor gap with compressed air.
  2. Calibration: Force a media sensor calibration by holding the feed button during power-up.
  3. Settings: Check if the printer is set to the correct media type (gap, mark, or continuous).
  4. Reload: Feed the roll again and observe alignment.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Keep the sensor path dust-free. Always select the correct media type in your driver settings to prevent false readings.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the sensor calibration does not resolve the error, the optics may be failing and need professional replacement.
