  • 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

  1. Open the cover and verify the presence of the label roll.
  2. Ensure the sensor is aligned with the gap between labels.
  3. Perform a sensor calibration from the 'Media/Ribbon' menu.
  4. 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

If the MED-OUT-02 error persists after cleaning and calibration, the photosensor may be defective.

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.
