      If your TSC Barcode Reader is not printing, check if the interface cable is securely connected. If using a serial port, ensure the cable is pin-to-pin connected; if not, replace it. Verify that the serial port settings are consistent between the host and the printer, and reset if necessary. Confirm that the correct printer port is selected in the Windows driver. If using Ethernet, ensure the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway are properly configured.

      To resolve poor print quality on your TSC Barcode Reader, ensure the top cover is completely closed and latched properly. Verify that the correct 24V DC power supply is connected. Reload the supply correctly. Clean the print head if there's dust or adhesive accumulation. Adjust the print density and print speed. Finally, run a printer self-test to check the print head test pattern for any missing dots.

      If your TSC Label Maker isn't printing, several factors could be the cause. Ensure the interface cable is securely connected. If using a serial port, the cable's pin configuration must be pin-to-pin; if it is not, replace the cable. Also, verify that the serial port settings are consistent between your host and the printer, and that the correct printer port is selected in the Windows driver. For Ethernet connections, confirm that the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway are properly configured.

    • K
      Kevin EvansSep 5, 2025
      If your TSC Label Maker displays 'Cutter Error', it could be due to several reasons. First, check for a cutter jam and remove any jammed labels. If there is no cutter installed on the printer, ensure that the media thickness is equal to or less than 0.19mm. If the cutter or cutter driver circuit board is damaged, replace the affected component.

    What does 'Take Label' mean on my TSC Label Maker and how do I resolve it?
    • A
      Adrian HayesSep 3, 2025
      If your TSC Label Maker displays 'Take Label', and the peeler function is enabled, take the label away to print the next one, especially if a peeler module is installed. If the peeler module is installed and the label has been removed but the message remains, check if the peeler module connector is properly connected to the main board. If no peeler module is installed, disable the peeler function.

      Jason HayesAug 30, 2025
      If your TSC Label Maker displays 'No Paper', it could be due to a few reasons. You might be running out of labels, so try supplying a new label roll. Alternatively, the label roll may be installed incorrectly; refer to the user’s manual for the correct reinstallation steps. It's also possible that the gap/black mark sensor needs calibration.
