How to fix poor print quality on TSC TTP-342 Pro Barcode Reader?
If you're experiencing poor print quality with your TSC Barcode Reader, try these steps: First, clean the thermal print head. Next, adjust the print density setting. Also, verify that the ribbon and media are compatible and that the media thickness is within the specified range. Finally, ensure that the correct power supply is connected to the printer.
What to do if the ON-LINE indicator is off and the ERR. indicator is on for TSC Barcode Reader?
If the ON-LINE indicator is off and the ERR indicator is on for your TSC Barcode Reader, it could be due to a few reasons. If there's one beep, it may be a gap sensor problem. In this case, calibrate the gap sensor or set up the paper length correctly in your labeling software. Also, ensure the paper is installed correctly. If there are two beeps, check if an outside wound ribbon is being used, ensure the ribbon is threaded correctly, and verify a paper core is installed on the ribbon take-up spindle. Additionally, calibrate the sensitivity of the gap sensor.
What to do if my TSC TTP-342 Pro is continuously feeding when printing labels?
If your TSC Barcode Reader is continuously feeding when printing labels, verify that the sensor type is set correctly in the driver or command script settings. If you're using die-cut media, try calibrating the gap sensor again.
What to do if the power indicator on my TSC Barcode Reader doesn't illuminate?
If the power indicator on your TSC Barcode Reader doesn't light up, check if the power cord is properly connected. Also, inspect the LED on the power supply; if it's not lit, the power supply may be damaged. Finally, verify that the correct power supply is connected to the printer.
Why does the ribbon not advance or rewind on my TSC TTP-342 Pro?
If the ribbon in your TSC Barcode Reader isn't advancing or rewinding, ensure the media and ribbon are installed and the print head mechanism is engaged before turning on the printer. Also, make sure the black ribbon spindle is installed in the correct direction. Finally, check the "Media settings method" in the driver to see if it is set to direct thermal mode.
