    What to do if the printer does not work on my Fisherbrand Measuring Instruments?
    • D
      Darrell TaylorAug 18, 2025
      If the printer on your Fisherbrand Measuring Instruments isn't working, first ensure that Auto-Print is enabled. Check if paper needs to be loaded and that the Printer Setup is set to Internal when an external printer is not in use. Make sure the paper roll is correctly placed, as incorrect placement will prevent printing. Clean the printer roller with ethanol and verify that the thermal paper is inserted with the proper side facing inward. Finally, check for and remove any paper jams by lifting the green paper release lever.
