Why is there no print on the label from my Brady BMP 71?
If your Brady Label Maker is producing blank labels, it could be due to: * Incorrect loading: Review the instructions for loading the ribbon and labels to ensure they are correctly installed. * Out of ribbon: Load a new ribbon.
Why does my Brady BMP 71 Label Maker print faint labels?
Faint prints from your Brady Label Maker can result from the ribbon not advancing properly. With the ribbon installed, tension it by rotating the rewind spool downward until all slack is removed. Alternatively, try a different ribbon cartridge.
How to fix Brady BMP 71 when it will not feed labels?
If your Brady Label Maker isn't feeding labels, check these two things: * **Leading edge position:** Ensure the leading edge of the label roll is inserted far enough, up to the black line under the ribs. * **Leading edge condition:** If the leading edge is uneven or torn, use scissors to cut a straight edge.
What to do if my Brady Label Maker is printing poorly?
Poor print quality on your Brady Label Maker can stem from several factors: * **Incorrect material combination:** Ensure you're using the correct ribbon for the label roll. * **Worn battery:** If your battery pack is old, it might not hold a charge well. Consider replacing it, as battery life is about one to three years. * **Incompatible media:** The ribbon and label media might not be compatible. Try a different combination. * **Incorrect installation:** Double-check that the ribbon and label media are installed correctly. * **Dirty print head:** Dust or adhesives on the print head can cause issues. Clean the print head.
