About Media
The printer can print on labels, tags, and continuous (receipt and linered)
media. The printer supports both direct thermal and thermal transfer
media. To use thermal transfer media, you also need thermal transfer
ribbon. The PC42t printer supports media from 1 to 4.33 inches (25 to
110 mm) wide.
Blinking red The printer is in Error mode. The printer may be
out of ribbon, have ribbon installed (when
configured for direct thermal), be out of media,
have the printhead lifted, have a label obstructing
the printing path, or you may not have performed a
testfeed (hold Print button until several labels
print).
After you have fixed the error, press the Print
button to restart printing.
