    What to do if READY and MEDIA lights flash simultaneously on my ZMIN Label Maker?
    • Q
      qsteinJul 31, 2025
      If the READY and MEDIA lights are flashing simultaneously on your ZMIN Label Maker, this could be due to several reasons: * The device cannot detect the media gap or black line. To resolve this, check the media path, the position of the media sensor, and perform media sensor calibration. * The media has run out. Simply load a new roll of media. * There is a media jam. Clear the jam to resume printing. * The Media Roll Guides are not firmly positioned against the media. Adjust the Media Roll Guides to firmly press against the media. * There is a media sensor error. In this case, service the media sensor.

    Why is only the READY light flashing on my ZMIN Label Maker?

      Peter HallAug 26, 2025
      If only the READY light is flashing on your ZMIN Label Maker, it may indicate a Serial I/O error. Check the DIP switches for the band rate settings. Alternatively, it could be due to memory overflow; try restarting the printer or performing a reset.
