    What to do if my Citizen CL-E331 Printer shows a Media Load Error or Media Jam Error?
    • A
      Andrea HillAug 21, 2025
      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.

    What should I do if my Citizen Printer shows a Cutter Error?
    • A
      Alicia MedinaSep 3, 2025
      If your Citizen Printer (models with cutters) displays a Cutter Error, it could be due to the cutter not operating. Open the top cover and remove any media or other object blocking cutter operation. If the cutter still does not operate, it may not be connected or installed correctly, or it may have failed; contact your retailer. It can also mean that the home position cannot be detected and the auto cutter may have failed; contact your retailer.
