How to fix poor print quality on my EASYPRINT Printer?
- A
  Angela SnyderAug 15, 2025
  Poor print quality on your EASYPRINT Printer can stem from several factors: * A dirty print head: Clean it using Cleaning Pens (P/N VPR0223), Cleaning Fluid (P/N WJ-111), and Print Head Cleaning Wipes (P/N MT25215). Ensure the print head cools before cleaning to prevent damage. * A dirty, worn, or misaligned print platen/roller: Produce a full-size test print to assess the print quality. * The ribbon not advancing correctly: Clean the ribbon rollers and ensure the ribbon is loaded correctly. * Incorrect ribbon placement: Make sure the ribbon fits correctly over the top of the print head guide roller(s).

What to do if my EASYPRINT Compact 53C display shows “Ribbon error”?
- S
  Shaun MartinAug 17, 2025
  If your EASYPRINT Printer displays a “Ribbon error” message, it means a sensor within the printer is detecting an issue with the ribbon usage. Check the ribbon path to ensure it is correctly loaded. Also, verify there is no slack in the ribbon and that the ribbon core isn't slipping on the re-winder. Lastly, make sure the pressure isn't too high, as this can cause the print head to burn through the ribbon.

What to do if print rubs off easily from EASYPRINT Compact 53C Printer?
- A
  Amy BairdAug 25, 2025
  If the print on your EASYPRINT Printer rubs off easily, it could be due to a lack of energy reaching the print head or a mismatch between the ribbon and substrate. Try increasing the contrast and, in extreme cases, the head heater. If the problem persists, consult your local Easyprint distributor for ribbon advice, as the ribbon/substrate may be mismatched.

Why does my EASYPRINT Compact 53C Printer constantly show ribbon error?

  Jennifer RobertsAug 28, 2025
  If your EASYPRINT Printer constantly displays a ribbon error, first ensure you are using an original Easyprint ribbon, as the ribbon core may have an incorrect specification. If the issue persists, the sensor arm may be defective. Verify the sensors using the sensor test located in the diagnostics menu.

  If your EASYPRINT Printer's prints are smudging, reduce the Contrast value setting. This compensates for extra friction forces applied to the ribbon during printing, decreasing the heat and preventing smudging.

What does “print head interface not done” mean on EASYPRINT Compact 53C?
- J
  Jennifer LopezSep 7, 2025
  If the display of your EASYPRINT Printer shows “print head interface not done”, the print speed is likely set too high. For Compact 32d, 32c, and 53c models, the print speed is above 600mm/sec, and for Communicator II models, it's above 1000mm/sec. To resolve this, go to Global Print Settings in CM and tick Fast Mode.

What does “Temperature too low” mean on EASYPRINT Printer display?

  Tracy LeonSep 10, 2025
  If your EASYPRINT Printer displays “Temperature too low”, it indicates that the print head thermistor has detected that the print head hasn't reached the correct temperature. This suggests a fault with the print head thermistor, print head cable, or one of the connectors. It can also occur if the print head heater is activated but defective.

  If your EASYPRINT Printer seems to be working, but no information is being printed, consider the following: * Check if a valid message is selected for printing. * Verify the print speed and contrast values are appropriate for the thermal ribbon and substrate you are using. * Ensure the print head is making full contact with the print platen/roller across its entire width. * Confirm the correct ribbon is loaded with the inked surface facing away from the print head and that it is advancing correctly. * For continuous printers, check that the encoder signal is providing the correct speed information. * The print head may be faulty. * Make sure the printer is ready to print, as the print head retracts when the printer is not ready. * For Communicator II models, check that the...
