Skips every other label (print quality is good, but every other label is skipped):

The label is formatted too close to the top edge of the label: Leave white space equal to 8-dot
rows (about .02 inch [.5mm]) at the top of the label.

The media is not calibrated: Calibrate it (see Section 3.7).

The media sensor or media sensor circuitry may be defective: Call for service.


The characters are formatted outside the dimensions of the label: Check that the row/column

The ribbon may be incorrectly installed. Ensure that the inked side of the ribbon faces the labels.


A mismatched ribbon/paper combination is resulting in an insufficient amount of friction between
paper and ribbon: Ensure that the correct type of ribbon is being used with the media.
Label advances 12 inches before a fault indication:


The media sensor or media sensor circuitry may be defective: Call for service.
