Common causes
- 1Adhesive residue on the optical sensor.
- 2Sensor misaligned with label stock.
- 3Incorrect label length set in software.
- 4Sensor incompatibility with backing paper material.
Solutions
Diagnóstico rápido
If the printer is feeding endlessly or stops during output, the label-gap sensor is likely blocked.Solución paso a paso
- Clean the sensor: Use isopropyl alcohol on a swab to wipe the sensor.
- Calibrate media: Navigate to menu settings and perform a calibration.
- Adjust sensor position: Verify the sensor path is clear.
- Test: Run a test label cycle.
