Common causes

  • 1Accumulated dust or label residue on the optical sensor.
  • 2Incorrect media type settings (Gap vs Black mark).
  • 3Misalignment of the label roll relative to the print path.
  • 4Labels with opacity values outside the sensor range.

Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

The error 1205 displays when the printer cannot find the synchronization mark. Check that labels are properly fed and the sensors are clean.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Ensure media is correctly placed under the gap sensor.
  2. Navigate to the settings menu and select 'Media Calibration'.
  3. Follow the guided process to calibrate sensor sensitivity.
  4. Check sensor settings if using special labels like black marks.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Clean sensors after every roll change using compressed air. Ensure your environment is within factory specifications to prevent humidity-related sensor errors.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the device fails multiple calibration attempts, it may indicate a hardware fault with the sensor array, requiring professional assistance.
