What to do if I cannot load media through the optional cutter on my Datamax I-Class Mark II I-4212E/203?
To address media loading issues with the optional cutter on your Datamax Label Maker: First, turn ‘Off’ and unplug the printer. Ensure that the cutter is properly installed. Plug in and turn ‘On’ the printer. You should hear the cutter blade rotate and position itself properly. However, if the problem continues call for service.
Why is my Datamax Label Maker printing strange characters?
If your Datamax Label Maker is printing strange characters instead of the label format, it might be in Hex Dump Mode. If you are using the serial port, verify the host and printer port settings. The printer may be set to eight data bits while the host is set to 7 (or vice versa).
How to troubleshoot communication issues through the parallel port on my Datamax I-Class Mark II I-4212E/203 Label Maker?
If your Datamax Label Maker can't communicate through the parallel port, observe the Ready Indicator as the format is sent to the printer. If it does not flash, check the parallel cable type. Also, check the protocol and port settings between the printer and host.
What to do if the LCD is blank on my Datamax I-Class Mark II I-4212E/203 Label Maker but the Ready Indicator is on?
If the LCD on your Datamax Label Maker is blank but the Ready Indicator is on, the display contrast may be set too low. To resolve this, press and hold the MENU Key for 3 seconds, then use the up and down arrow keys until the display reappears.
Why is Intellifont not printing on my Datamax Label Maker?
If Intellifont is not printing on your Datamax Label Maker, it may be because the Intellifont format is Little/Big Endian specific, and the printer uses Big Endian. Refer to your font supplier for information.
