What Zebra label printers do we fix?
We can repair most makes of thermal transfer printers including Zebra. Our engineers are highly qualified and experienced with thermal printers. Repairs can be included in a service contract or as ad hoc requirements. If you printer can’t be repaired we also off WEEE waste services.
Common Zebra Printer Faults and how to fix them:
Blocked media sensor – this is a result of labels or ribbons covering the sensors needed to detect the media being printed on. Always check your sensors are clear.
Incorrect print settings – is your printer set to thermal transfer when you are trying to print on a direct thermal label? If so this will give you a “ribbon out” error. Depending on what way your printer is set up this can either be resolved through the front panel of your printer or directly through your software.
Media loaded incorrectly – are your labels and ribbons loaded through the correct path? If your labels and ribbons aren’t fed through the correct paths your labels will not print.
Are you printing to the correct printer? This fault can happen if you have multiple printers on site. Double check you are sending your print command to the correct printer.
My print is too light – try increasing the darkness on your printer settings or through your software.
No power – is your printer plugged in and turned on? Is the USB or ethernet cable plugged in? Is the cable faulty? Check all of these.
My label is printing half way down the label – this can happen in older models of printers which don’t have an automatic calibration. Try doing a manual calibration of your printer.
All of the above are some quick fixes that you can try if you want to eliminate some possible errors.
