Why is my Tally Dascom DL-210 printing blurred labels?
- A
  Annette BowenAug 21, 2025
  Blurred or spot printing on your Tally Dascom Label Maker can occur due to several reasons: * The media roll might be installed incorrectly: check the media roll and reload it properly. * The media is out of specification: use recommended media. * The thermal print head or platen is dirty: clean the print head or platen. * The ribbon is out of specification: use recommended ribbon. * The print density is low: increase the print density (heat). * Printing with ribbon on direct thermal paper: remove the ribbon.

  Michael ArmstrongSep 3, 2025
  If the paper size setting is correct, but the printout is crooked, skewed, or off-center on your Tally Dascom Label Maker, it is likely that the label did not calibrate correctly. Execute label calibration.

What does it mean when the Power LED and Error LED fast blink three times, and the buzzer alarms three times on my Tally Dascom DL-210 Label Maker?

  When the Power LED and Error LED on your Tally Dascom Label Maker blink fast three times, accompanied by three buzzer alarms, it indicates a gap sensor error alarm. This means the black mark sensor does not align with the receiving sensor. To fix this, move the black mark sensor so that its triangle aligns with the one on the center housing.

  If the Error LED on your Tally Dascom Label Maker is fast blinking, it could indicate a gap detection error. * If you are using continuous paper but have set the label in the tool, change to 'label paper' in the tool. * Due to a sensor error or other problem, the sensor could not detect the gap. Clean or adjust the media sensor.

Why does my Tally Dascom Label Maker feed blank labels?
- M
  Megan GonzalezAug 28, 2025
  If your Tally Dascom Label Maker is feeding blank labels, it might be because you are printing without a ribbon on transfer thermal paper. Install a ribbon to resolve this.

Why does the Tally Dascom DL-210 Label Maker skip labels?
- K
  kimberlywalkerAug 27, 2025
  The Tally Dascom Label Maker might skip labels because of a label positioning problem, or the label size setting exceeds the physical size. Execute label calibration. If that doesn't work, verify that the label size setting is correct.

What to do if the Error LED blinks and the buzzer alarms on my Tally Dascom Label Maker?
- C
  cynthia48Aug 23, 2025
  If the Error LED blinks and the buzzer alarms on your Tally Dascom Label Maker, it could be due to the following reasons: * The thermal print head has overheated: turn the printer off and wait a few minutes before resuming. * Over-voltage or Low-voltage: print using the specified voltage.
