Common causes

  • 1Incorrect media dimensions defined in the software.
  • 2Dust buildup blocking the optical media sensor.
  • 3Label backing blocking the gap sensor path.
  • 4Firmware mismatch with new label media types.

Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

If the status LED blinks code 3005, the printer cannot identify the gaps between labels. Check if the media is properly threaded through the sensor path.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Ensure the label media is correctly loaded under the sensor guide.
  2. Clean the media sensor with a clean, dry cloth.
  3. Initiate the 'Auto-Calibration' sequence from the menu.
  4. Confirm label settings in your Windows driver matches physical dimensions.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Regularly clear paper dust from the printing mechanism. Use high-quality labels to prevent adhesive build-up on the sensor. Keep the printer away from extreme heat and high-humidity areas.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the sensor remains unresponsive after cleaning and calibration, the internal logic board or the sensor module might be damaged.
