Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

A solid red LED indicates a 'pause' or 'error' state, meaning the machine has stopped feeding. Check if the labels are being fed correctly through the sensors.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Open the cover and ensure the label roll is properly seated.
  2. Hold the feed button down to trigger the auto-calibration cycle.
  3. Clean the label gap sensor area with compressed air.
  4. Ensure your computer isn't sending a print job that is mismatched for the paper size.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Keep the printhead clean with isopropyl alcohol and avoid dust accumulation. Use high-quality labels so the adhesive doesn't foul the optical sensor.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the calibration fails and the red light persists even after cleaning the sensor, the mainboard or the sensor unit may be faulty.
