What to do if the error indicator remains illuminated on my TSC printer?
- D
  David WeberAug 16, 2025
  If the error indicator light on your TSC printer stays on, it might be due to a few reasons. First, ensure that you have paper and ribbon loaded. Check the DIP switch setting. Also, verify that the paper core is correctly installed on the ribbon rewind spindle. Try pressing the FEED key. The error message will be printed out on the print media or sent out through RS-232 port. If direct thermal printing works fine, but errors occur during thermal transfer printing, inspect the encoder of the DC motor.

  Poor print quality may be caused by several factors. Try cleaning the thermal print head or adjusting the print density setting. Ensure that the ribbon and media are compatible and that the media thickness is within the specified range. Also, check if the correct power supply is connected to the printer.

What to do if TSC TTP-244 Plus Barcode Reader ON-LINE indicator is off and ERR. indicator is on?

  If the printer beeps once, this indicates a gap sensor problem. Calibrate the gap sensor or set the paper length correctly in the labeling software/program, and ensure the paper is installed correctly. If the printer beeps twice, it indicates a ribbon sensor problem. Ensure that an outside wound ribbon is used, the ribbon is threaded correctly, and a paper core is installed on the ribbon take-up spindle. You may also need to calibrate the sensitivity of the gap sensor.

  Ensure the media and ribbon are installed, and the print head mechanism is engaged before turning on the printer. Verify that the black ribbon spindle is installed in the correct direction. Also, check the "Media settings method" in the driver to confirm it is not set to direct thermal mode.
