My Zebra ZM600 pauses after every label for 90sec, then prints. Any ideas on how to fix this?

SOURCE: LP2824 feeds a label but wont print on it?

can you give more info? it sounds like you driver is set to thermal transfer mode but you have a direct thermal printer (LP not TLP)

SOURCE: Zebra 4M Plus Pauses unexpectedly

try to run the manual calibratio from the setings.
run "manual calibration"
move the ribbon out from the sensor (with the print head open) and take out 3 or 4 labels from the rollar and put that blank label paper unther the sensors on the left,
say "ok"
wen appear "reload all"
put the ribbon and the normal labels on the correct possition, and say "ok"
try to run sext the sensor profile.
save data (twice on "setup button")
tur off, and on again.

SOURCE: Zebra S4M prints one label then goes to flashing pause light.

most likely it is a printer driver issue. There's 2 drivers, one for 200dpi and one for 300dpi. Use the one for 200dpi. It could also be the label setting is incorrect. Try running a calibration.

Sounds like you might be using a bad driver, or the printer is in dump mode.
Try hitting the green button and see if it says exiting dump.
If still having trouble, inside the printer it tells you that if you are having printing trouble:

1. turn off the printer
   
2. Hold down the feed button
   
3. turn on the printer and at the third red flash release the feed button
   
4. it will then feed some pagessome info and ask you to hit feed again to exit dump
   
5. hit feed again and it will say exiting dump

We are considering different print drivers. Zebra's tech support is horrible and staffed with lazy, blundering idiots.
