Instead, you may need to perform a special restorative pre-prime under the guidance of
Technical Support. When the restorative pre-prime has finished, you will be able to prime the
printhead using the
After Moving
function in the
Cleaning
tab of the QL-850 Maintenance
Utility.
Note: The restorative pre-prime procedure consumes ink. Only use this function as needed
and with the guidance of Technical Support.
Addressing Data Starvation
Data starvation can occur when an application produces page data for each individual page in
a job rather than data for a single page and then printing it multiple times.
For some jobs, data for each individual page is necessary, such as when printing unique labels
or labels containing unique data like serialization.
Some graphic design applications produce individual page data by default. In some cases, this
can be avoided by setting the print quantity in the QL-850 driver instead of the application’s print
dialog.
If setting the quantity in the print driver is not an option, or the job contains variable data, then
the printer may become “starved for data” at some point during the job.
Data starvation is a condition where labels are being printed faster than they can be sent to the
printer. At times, the printer does not have any data to print.
