REFLECTIVE MODE 
 
CANNOT CALIBRATE 
Consistently low sensor 
readings were detected. 
Press any key to continue. 
Ensure that the reflective mark 
was inserted face down.  Also, 
ensure that the sensor is clean 
and that the reflective mark is 
made from carbon-based ink. 
Retry calibration. 
REFLECTIVE MODE 
 
FAULTY SENSOR 
Consistently high sensor 
readings were detected. 
Press any key to continue. 
Ensure that media was removed 
from the media sensor during 
the appropriate calibration 
steps; also ensure that no labels 
are stuck in the media sensor. 
Retry calibration. If the problem 
persists, call for service. 
RIBBON FAULT 
Two causes are possible: 
 
(1) The Thermal Transfer 
media type has been 
selected, but no ribbon 
movement or only sporadic 
movement has been 
detected; or, 
 
(2) The ribbon sensor 
values have changed. 
If using direct thermal stock, 
change the Media Type setting 
to Direct Thermal; otherwise 
ensure that ribbon is installed. 
 
Press the FEED Key to clear the 
fault -- if the fault does not 
clear check the Ribbon Hubs for 
free movement. Also, ensure 
that the ribbon core fits snugly 
onto the supply hub, and that 
the ribbon is not slipping or 
stalling as labels print. If no 
binding, slipping, or stalling is 
apparent press and hold the 
FEED Key until at least three 
labels have been output. If the 
fault does not clear, call for 
service. 
TEMPERATURE FAULT 
The printer has shutdown 
due to a high printhead 
temperature. 
Turn OFF the printer. Ensure 
that the printer has been 
installed within an acceptable 
environment. DO NOT restart 
operation until the printhead 
cools.
