Label printer is a commonly used office equipment, and its main function is to mark important information of goods or express delivery in businesses, medical care, logistics, supermarkets and other industries. However, in long-term use, label printers often have various failures, which affect work efficiency and even cause losses. The following will introduce the common fault causes and solutions of label printers.
1. Paper jam
Paper jam will occur when the label printer is in use. This may cause damage to the internal parts of the printer core due to the abnormal operation of the paper. In order to avoid this situation, it is necessary to use the correct paper, ensure that the paper is loaded correctly, and use the correct paper adjustment.
Solution: Clear the jammed paper and check whether the paper is suitable for the printer.
2. The printer doesn't respond
The printer doesn't respond usually when the printer is connected incorrectly. For example, the cable used is damaged, or the connection with the computer is wrong. In this case, the printer will not respond to the computer program or user's operation.
Solution: Check the connection between the printer and the computer, and replace the damaged cable to ensure the normal connection between the printer and the computer.
3. Decline in print quality
The decline in print quality may be caused by poor quality of printer ink or ribbon, or wear and aging of print head. Such problems can lead to fuzzy and fancy labels printed, or some fonts can't be recognized.
Solution: Replace the ink or ribbon of the printer and clean the print head regularly to keep the best performance of the label printer.
4. The printer doesn't recognize the label
If the label printer doesn't recognize the label, it may be because the label size is incorrect or the sensor inside the printer doesn't work. This will cause the printer to be unable to obtain the correct start and stop coordinates of the label, which will lead to the label not being printed correctly.
Solution: Use a label of the correct size and ensure that the sensor works normally.
5. Error messages appear in the printer
When the label printer is used, error messages may appear, such as "Out of paper" and "Print head error", which are usually caused by the failure or exhaustion of internal components of the printer.
solution: according to different situations, make different repairs to the printer or replace related components.
In short, label printers are commonly used equipment in business and logistics industries, and their failure may affect the normal development of daily work. Therefore, regular inspection, maintenance of equipment and replacement of required components can prolong the service life of the printer and avoid unnecessary losses.
