      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.
