Indication
The LED do not light
up when printer
power is connected.
Paper is feeding, but
nothing is printed.
The printer is not
printing neatly.
Corrective action
1) Insert the plug of the power cord
correctly in the electric outlet.
2) Insert the connector of the power cord
correctly into the power inlet of the
printer.
3) Replace the power cord. Consult with
the dealer where the printer was
purchased to make sure you obtain a
cord made especially for the printer.
Note: Do not use any power cord
except one made especially for the
printer.
4) Check to make sure power is supplied
to the outlet. If there are any problems,
make sure power is supplied to the
building. Or find out if a power failure
has occurred.
5) If necessary, replace the main fuse in
the building’s fuse box, and reset the
main breaker. Ask a qualified
serviceman to carry out the
replacement.
1) If it is dirty, remove the dirt with the
attached head cleaner.
If a label is stuck to the thermal
printhead remove it.
Note: Do not use a metal object to
remove a label stuck to the inside of
the printer. (This may damage the
thermal printhead.) If adhesive label
material is stuck to the thermal
printhead, remove it with a soft cloth
soaked in ethyl alcohol.
2) Use the recommended ribbon or a
ribbon of the same type.
1) Correctly set the media and the ribbon.
2) Set the appropriate printing density
using the menu or control software.
3) If it is dirty, clean it with ethyl alcohol.
If it is deformed, replace it.
Note: Consult with the dealer that
supplied the printer concerning the
replacement.
This chapter explains corrective actions taken when the printer malfunctions or when
an error message is displayed.
