  If your HellermannTyton Printer transports the label media, but the transfer ribbon does not move, it might be due to incorrect insertion of the transfer ribbon. Check the transfer ribbon web and the orientation of the label side, and correct if necessary. It could also be due to an unsuitable combination of labels and transfer ribbon, so using a different type of ribbon is advisable.

  If the transfer ribbon creases when using your HellermannTyton Printer, it could be that the transfer ribbon deflection is not adjusted properly; adjust the transfer ribbon deflection. Another reason could be that the transfer ribbon is too wide; using a transfer ribbon slightly wider than the width of the label should resolve this.
