Green light red

SOURCE: Zebra LP 2824

the error you are getting is a label size error. a label variance of as little as 1/203th of an inch can cause this.

you need to recalibrate the printer to the media, hold feed when powering up the printer letting go once the light flashes 4 times. this will force the printer to autodetect the label size.

if you are specifying the label size in you software or driver settings, measure and double check the label size

SOURCE: Failure to initialize

Your Main Logic Board failed to initialize. It needs to be replaced.

SOURCE: light is red and not green

There may be several causes to this problem.
1/ The lid of the printer needs to be firmly shut before the Red light changes to Green.
2/ If the ribbon has come to the end then the red light will come on, change the ribbon.
3/ If you have changed label size and not recalibrated the printer to the label then the RED will come on.
Any error within the printer will bring the RED light on.
