Solutions

Quick Diagnosis

This alert appears when the sensor threshold for paper roll size is met. If the error occurs with a full roll, sensor contamination is likely.

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Check supply: Ensure the label roll has sufficient material.
  2. Calibration: Run 'Media/Ribbon Calibrate' in the menu.
  3. Cleaning: Use isopropyl alcohol to clean the optical sensor.
  4. Config: Modify 'Paper Low' settings via the printer menu.

Prevention and Maintenance

Clean the sensors regularly when changing media. Keep the printhead area free from dust.

When to Call a Technician

If sensor calibration fails and the error persists, the optical sensor unit may require professional hardware replacement.
