  If the Printronix Label Maker media moves but no image prints in ONLINE mode: 1. Ensure the power supply cable has a secure connection to the right side of the printhead. 2. Place the printer offline and print the Checkerboard diagnostic test pattern. If the pattern prints successfully, the problem lies in the communication between the host computer and the printer.

  If your Printronix Label Maker is experiencing communication issues between the printer and the RFID encoder: 1. Ensure that 'Reader' is enabled in the RFID (or RFID CONTROL) menu. 2.

What to do if Printronix Label Maker LCD displays 'Invalid Data' and nothing prints?
- N
  Nicole StricklandSep 8, 2025
  If your Printronix Label Maker displays 'Invalid Data' and doesn't print, it means the printer received data without valid commands, often due to an incorrect emulation or SFCC selection. This message persists until new data is received or the printer is taken offline. 1. If the emulation and SFCC are correct, get additional diagnostic information by selecting an option under the “xxx Diagnostics” menu, found under the Emulations menu. 2. Rerun the job after selecting the desired option to get the additional diagnostic information.
