      If your TSC Label Maker is showing 'No response', start by turning on the power switch. Check if the green LED is lit on the power supply; if it's not, the power supply is likely broken. Also, ensure that both power connections—from the power cord to the power supply and from the power supply to the printer power jack—are securely connected.
