      If your Citizen Printer displays a Media Load Error or Media Jam Error, it could be due to several reasons: * The label gaps or black lines may not be detected. In this case, check and readjust the media sensor positions, ensuring that the selection of transmissive sensor, reflective sensor, or continuous media matches the type of media used. * The media cannot be transported. Open the top cover, remove any media blocking the transport, and set the media again.

If the cutter still does not operate, it may not be connected or installed correctly, or it may have failed; contact your retailer.
