Why is the Milestone Label Maker printing poorly?
- K
  Karen MoralesAug 7, 2025
  Poor print results with your Milestone Label Maker can stem from several issues. First, try reloading the paper to ensure it's correctly positioned. If the issue persists, the print density or speed might be improperly configured; adjust these settings using the setting tool or software—the setting tool allows for coarse adjustments, while the driver enables finer tuning. Also, check for dust or adhesive buildup on the print head or rubber roller, and clean them if necessary. In case of print head damage, use the setting tool to detect any bad points.

Why is my Milestone Label Maker printing with incorrect positioning?
- M
  Michelle PayneAug 29, 2025
  Incorrect positioning on your Milestone Label Maker can be due to a few reasons. First, perform label learning. Second, check if the seam label detection photocoupler is offset; if using black label paper, adjust the component to align with the black label position, or ensure the detection photocoupler is within the paper range for standard label paper. Finally, confirm that the paper type selected in the printer settings matches the paper loaded in the printer by using the setting tool.
