Why Intermec EasyCoder PD42 Printer is working, but nothing is printing?

  Maria GonzalezAug 26, 2025
  If your Intermec Printer is not printing anything, there could be several reasons: * Ensure the direct thermal media is loaded correctly with the heat-sensitive side facing up. * Check that the ink-coated side of the thermal transfer ribbon faces the media. * Verify the printer settings for media type, paper type, and print method are correct. * Confirm the printhead is properly inserted into the print mechanism. * Inspect the cables from the print mechanism to the main board for damage and proper connection. * Consider replacing the printhead. * Check the label taken sensor is folded out and enabled and if there is a label left in the feed slot or the ambient light disturbs the label taken sensor.
