Honeywell PX45s Media Out Error: Fix

The Honeywell PX45s error err-media-out indicates that the printer does not detect printing material (labels or paper). This alert appears when the label roll has finished, is poorly positioned, or the media sensor cannot distinguish the gap between labels. It is a common error in industrial printers and is usually quick to solve. This unit is optimized for high-performance applications in warehouses.

Common causes

  • 1Label roll exhausted.
  • 2Paper poorly loaded outside the sensor path.
  • 3Gap sensor blocked by adhesive.
  • 4Incorrect material type configured in menu.

Solutions

Quick Diagnosis

If paper is loaded and it still says 'Media Out', check that the paper path correctly hits the gap sensor. If the sensor is blocked by adhesive residue, it won't read the labels.

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Correct Loading: Ensure paper passes under the adjustable sensor.
  2. Sensor Adjustment: Move the media sensor to detect the gap between labels.
  3. Cleaning: Clean sensors with a cotton swab and isopropyl alcohol.
  4. Recalibration: Run the auto-calibration option in the main menu.

Prevention and Maintenance

Clean paper sensors periodically if using adhesive labels that leave residue. Always use quality material to avoid cutting or detection errors.

When to Call a Technician

If after deep cleaning and calibration the error persists with any label type, the media sensor may have failed electrically.
