Common causes
- 1Misalignment of the label roll.
- 2Dust buildup on optical feed sensors.
- 3Unstable unwind/rewind tension.
- 4Worn drive rollers.
Solutions
Quick Diagnosis
If the machine stops during operation with C-3101, visually inspect the web path for resistance or misalignment. An uneven feed is a classic indicator of this motor error.Step-by-step Solution
- Check Feed: Ensure the label web is properly tensioned and free of wrinkles.
- Clean Sensors: Use a dry cloth to clear dust from paper path sensors.
- Adjust Guides: Ensure lateral guides are firm but allow the paper to move without friction.
- System Reboot: Reboot the unit to reset motor synchronization.
Prevention and Maintenance
Perform routine cleaning of the entire paper path. Keep rollers free of adhesive and debris. Maintain environment conditions to ensure paper stability.When to Call a Technician
If after cleaning and adjustment the error persists, the drive motor may have encoder failure, requiring specialized service.Technical Equipment Data
