try to move up the silver plate unther the print head.
this silver plate is the "print head open" and the media sensors.
SOURCE: Zebra 140xi II error
If you open the case there is a sensor that detects whether the head is opened or not that is connected to the open and close lever. Sometimes the tab that blocks the sensor when it is closed get out of alignment or comes loose or the sensor is jarred loose. Make sure the tab breaks the beam.
SOURCE: printing error condition
First clean the sensor tag and sensor head open and tape. Then perform a calibration label pressing the PAUSE and FEED buttons and turn on the printer, release the keys until it starts to move the label. Wait until you are finished and ready to print.
SOURCE: my zebra printer s4m is saying ALERT CLEARED HEAD
Alert Head Open will show everytime u open the Head , when u close back the head it will show Alert CLeared Head Open, then it's normal.
Ribbon Out Show means the printer doesn't detect a ribbon, make sure there's nothing wrong with ribbon installation. if everything fine, then the problem is you Ribbon Sensor. u can try to adjust the sensor with a screwdriver ( - ), make a little bit higher

Hi You can Try 2 things.
All the luck for you
There is some foreign object blocking your cartridges carriage that disables it from moving. Generally when this happens, something has fallen into the printer, or a piece of paper has been jammed in there.
First step, remove the ink cartridge, and turn the printer upside down and gently shake it, see if anything comes out.
If nothing goes, or you can't hear anything rattling around, get a piece of cardstock paper (60lb or heavier) and gently push this through the printer, to see if it will help push out what might be stuck in there
Next try.
It may be a piece of paper or a scotch tape or a staple wire.
Solution 1:
Clean the timing strip.
Solution 2:
The purge cap (the white sliding mechanism that the print head parks to when it's not in use) may be not lubricated well enough .
Lubricate the sliders with some white grease (don't get it on the small wipers or the black caps); this repair probably require to remove the right panel off of the printer to gain access to the purge mechanism.
Please come back and just gave a vote, it will gave me some satisfaction to know am helping some one so I will keep on helping.
