How to fix unacceptable print quality on Datamax Label Maker?
To address unacceptable print quality on your Datamax Label Maker, start by cleaning the printhead. If the issue persists, the printhead temperature might be too high; adjust the burn time or heat setting using the software control. Also, ensure you are using the correct ribbon type for your labels.
What to do if Datamax Allegro 2 does not print or prints multiple labels?
If your Datamax Label Maker isn't printing or prints multiple labels at once, the labels might be loaded incorrectly. Refer to the loading instructions. The media sensor might be out of adjustment or defective, in that case you should call for service.
Why does the ribbon not advance on my Datamax Label Maker?
If the ribbon isn't advancing on your Datamax Label Maker, first ensure the ribbon is installed correctly, with the dull (inked) side facing the paper. Also, check that you're using the correct ribbon/paper combination to ensure sufficient friction between the paper and ribbon.
What to do if Datamax Allegro 2 Label Maker prints strange characters?
If your Datamax Label Maker is printing strange characters, it might be in test mode. Reset the printer via software, by pressing the Cancel and Pause buttons simultaneously, or by turning it off and on again. Also, verify the data bits setting from the Operators Panel to ensure it matches the transmitting device's setting.
Why does my Datamax Allegro 2 skip every other label?
If your Datamax Label Maker skips every other label, ensure the label format includes white space equal to 8-dot rows (approximately .02" or .5mm) at the top. Also, verify that characters are formatted within the label's dimensions, ensuring row/column values provide enough room for the height of the characters or barcode.
Why Datamax Label Maker fails to turn on?
If your Datamax Label Maker fails to turn on, it may be due to a blown fuse, a faulty AC cord, a bad printer power switch, or a faulty AC wall outlet. Call for service in case of a blown fuse or a bad printer power switch.
