Zebra ZT620R RFID Industrial error MED-OUT-02: Solution
The Zebra ZT620R RFID Industrial error MED-OUT-02 indicates that the printer does not detect paper. This error occurs frequently when improperly positioned labels are loaded or when the media sensor requires a new calibration. To fix the MED-OUT-02 error on your Zebra ZT620R, follow the loading and calibration steps provided below.
Common causes
- 1Label roll is depleted.
- 2Media sensor is not aligned with the label gap.
- 3Adhesive build-up on the media sensor.
- 4Incorrect media mode selection in system menu.
Solutions
Diagnóstico rápido
The error appears on screen when the printer detects the media supply is empty. If labels are loaded, the sensor is likely dirty or misaligned.Solución paso a paso
- Open the cover and verify the presence of the label roll.
- Ensure the sensor is aligned with the gap between labels.
- Perform a sensor calibration from the 'Media/Ribbon' menu.
- Verify that the media type setting matches your labels (Gap, Black Mark).
Prevención y mantenimiento
Clean sensors regularly with compressed air. Avoid low-quality labels that leave adhesive residue in the paper path.Cuándo llamar a un técnico

Frequently asked questions
This message indicates that the sensor does not detect the media backing, either because it is out of supplies or the sensor needs recalibration.
No, the error prevents printing for safety reasons to avoid damaging the thermal head by printing directly on the platen roller.
Labels compatible with Zebra RFID industrial printers are recommended to ensure precise sensor readings.
Keep sensors clean of adhesive residue or label scraps using compressed air or alcohol.
