MAINTENANCE & TROUBLSHOOTING
3. While the printer is off, press and hold the Feed/Cancel button on the top of the
printer. Turn the printer on again, continuing to hold the button.
4. The indicator light in the button will flash green and then glow solid red, and then
blink red in a repeating pattern as long as you hold the Feed/Cancel button. When
the red light is blinking, release the button.
5. Bronco will automatically feed label stock through as it recalibrates its sensors.
When this stops, you can open the printer (as if you were changing supplies) and
roll the label stock back to avoid waste. The leading edge of your next label should
rest at the top of the black rubber roller, beneath the print head carriage.
6. Close your printer, open your label design again, and try printing once more.
7.2.2 CHECKING SUPPLY LOADING
Most of the errors that will prevent Bronco from printing are simply the result of a mis-
feed of the supplies in the printer. If a problem occurs and the indicator light blinks red
or yellow, follow these steps to check the supply loading.
1. Turn off the printer using the switch in the back, and open the lid as if you were
going to load new supplies.
2. Raise the print head carriage by pressing the two green carriage release tabs, and
check the ribbon:
a. Check that the printing ribbon unrolls from the back of the fresh ribbon roll, on
the underside of the print head carriage.
b. Check that the ribbon is able to move smoothly from that fresh roll, up and over
the metal print head, and up to the take-up roll on the top side of the print head
carriage.
c. Check that the fresh roll of ribbon and the take-up roll of used ribbon are both
seated correctly, with the notches in the rolls tting onto tabs on their holders.
3. Now, look at the label stock:
a. Check that the roll of label stock is roughly centered on its spindle, with the label
stock unrolling from it so that the print surface (and not the paper backing) is
facing up.
b. Check that the label stock is feeding between and beneath the two movable
green guides, under the print head carriage.
c. Check that the label stock is reaching over the top of the gray rubber roller under
the print head.
