  • 1Adhesive residue covering sensor lens.
  • 2Misaligned media roll.
  • 3Low-contrast label gaps.
  • 4Calibration memory error.

Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

If you see the error LED, inspect the sensor path. Adhesive buildup often mimics a paper jam or missing media by blinding the sensor's optical eye.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Open the media door.
  2. Remove the media roll.
  3. Clean the gap sensor with a lint-free swab and rubbing alcohol.
  4. Reload the roll and run a media calibration process.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Clean the sensor every time you load a new roll of labels. Always use high-quality thermal paper to reduce paper dust deposits.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the calibration process continues to report err-005, the sensor unit may be faulty and require a factory repair.
