How to fix poor print quality on TSC Barcode Reader?
To fix poor print quality on your TSC Barcode Reader, start by reloading the media correctly. Clean the print head to remove any dust or adhesive. Adjust the print density and print speed settings. Run a self-test to check the print head pattern for missing dots, which would indicate a damaged print head element.
Why is my TSC Barcode Reader skipping labels when printing?
If your TSC Barcode Reader is skipping labels during printing, ensure the label size is correctly specified in your settings. Calibrate the sensor using the Auto Gap or Manual Gap options. Also, clear any dust from the GAP/Black mark sensor using a blower.
What does it mean when TSC Barcode Reader status from DiagTool shows “Out of Paper”?
If the TSC Barcode Reader status from DiagTool shows “Out of Paper”, supply a new label roll. Ensure the label roll is installed correctly. Calibrate the gap/black mark sensor.
Why is my TSC Barcode Reader printing irregularly?
If your TSC Barcode Reader is exhibiting irregular printing, try turning it off and on to exit the dump mode. Also, re-set the Rs-232 setting.
What to do if my TSC Barcode Reader displays a memory full error?
To resolve a 'Memory full' error on your TSC Barcode Reader, delete any unused files in the FLASH/DRAM.
What to do if my TSC Barcode Reader is not printing?
If your TSC Barcode Reader is not printing, first, reconnect the interface cable or try a new one to ensure a secure connection. If using a serial port, verify that the cable is pin-to-pin connected; if not, replace it. Also, check that the serial port settings on both the host and the printer are consistent, with the default baud rate set to 9600, n, 8, 1. In the Windows driver, confirm that the correct printer port is selected. For Ethernet connections, ensure the Ethernet RJ-45 connector's green LED is lit and the amber LED is blinking. Check if the printer obtains an IP address in DHCP mode or if the static IP address is correctly configured. Allow a few seconds for the printer to establish communication with the server before rechecking the IP address settings.
Why is my TSC Barcode Reader continuously feeding labels?
To resolve continuous feeding labels with your TSC Barcode Reader, start by initializing the printer and calibrating the gap/black mark sensor. Ensure the label size is accurately set in your labeling software or program to match the installed paper. Also, check for and remove any labels stuck inside the printer mechanism near the sensor area.
Why doesn't the power indicator illuminate on my TSC Barcode Reader?
If the power indicator on your TSC Barcode Reader doesn't illuminate, ensure the power cord is properly connected to both the printer and the outlet. Also, make sure that the printer is switched on.
What to do if my TSC Barcode Reader has no response?
If your TSC Barcode Reader is not responding, ensure the power switch is turned on. Check if the green LED on the power supply is lit; if not, the power supply may be broken. Verify that both power connections—from the power cord to the power supply and from the power supply to the printer—are securely connected.
What to do if TSC Barcode Reader status from DiagTool shows “Head Open”?
If the TSC Barcode Reader status from DiagTool shows “Head Open”, close the print carriage.
