Wristbands consistently jam or do not load
correctly.
The printer might not be detecting the black mark on the
back of the wristbands.

2. If the problem persists with a different media cartridge,
have a qualified service technician check and possibly

flashes.
c. Press the upper cover release buttons to open the
printer’s upper cover and release the wristband.

e. Close the upper cover.
3. If the problem persists, contact technical support (see
Contacts on page 11).
The printer overheats. Improper ventilation may be causing the printer to overheat.
