    How to fix the auto cutter if it is jammed on the Labau TM200?

      Joseph BryantAug 18, 2025
      If the auto cutter on your Labau Printer is jammed, and it's due to a foreign object, the printer will attempt to recover automatically. If it doesn't return to normal, pull the cutter cover toward you to access the cutter motor knob. Rotate the knob as instructed on the label until the cutter blade is back to its normal position. If the paper jams, turn the knob clockwise until the cutter blade is at its lowest position, then close the cutter cover.

    What to do if the ERROR light is Off, but nothing prints on my Labau Printer?

      Alexis ReyesAug 22, 2025
      If the ERROR light is Off, but nothing is printed on your Labau Printer, try running a self-test. If the self-test doesn't work, the interface cable between the printer and the computer should be checked at both ends to make sure that it meets the specifications for both devices. Ensure that the printer’s DIP switch settings for data transmission match the computer's settings. You can print the printer’s interface settings using the self test.

      Crystal MorrisAug 27, 2025
      If the lights on the control panel of your Labau Printer do not come on, ensure that the power supply cables are correctly plugged into the printer, the power unit, and the power outlet. Also, verify that power is supplied to the outlet. If the outlet is controlled by a switch or timer, try using another outlet.
