Common causes

  • 1Misalignment: Labels not aligned with sensor.
  • 2Dirty sensor: Dust or adhesive buildup.
  • 3Calibration error: Mismatch between material and setting.
  • 4Incompatible media: Too thick or missing markings.

Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

ERR-001 indicates a failed sensor detection of the gap/black mark. Check for debris in the print mechanism first.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Verify loading: Ensure labels pass correctly through the adjustable sensor guide.
  2. Clean: Use a soft brush or compressed air to clean optical sensors.
  3. Calibrate: Hold the Feed button during startup or access the menu to initiate auto-calibration.
  4. Settings: Ensure the sensor type in settings matches your material (Gap vs. Black Mark).

Prevención y mantenimiento

Clean printheads and sensors every roll. Compressed air helps maintain sensor clarity.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the error persists after thorough cleaning and calibration, the label sensor may require physical replacement.
