    Why is my TSC Barcode Reader not printing?
    • S
      Scott MillerSep 2, 2025
      Your TSC Barcode Reader might not be printing because the interface cable isn't properly connected. Ensure the cable is securely connected or try using a new cable. If you're using a wireless or Bluetooth device, verify that it is properly connected between the host and printer, and reset the wireless device settings if needed. Also, ensure the correct printer port is selected in the Windows driver. Check that the printhead’s harness connector is well connected with the printhead, and reconnect it if necessary after turning off the printer. Finally, ensure your program has a PRINT command at the end of the file and that each command line ends with CRLF.

      Irregular printing on your TSC Barcode Reader might be due to the printer being in Hex Dump mode. Turn the printer off and on to exit the dump mode. Alternatively, the RS-232 setting might be incorrect, so reset the Rs-232 setting.

    • A
      Alicia RoseAug 22, 2025
      If your TSC Barcode Reader is skipping labels, it might be due to a few reasons. First, check if the label size is set up correctly. If not, specify the correct label size. Also, the sensor sensitivity might not be set properly. Calibrate the sensor using Auto Gap or Manual Gap options. Finally, the media sensor could be covered with dust. Clear the GAP/Black mark sensor with a blower.
