Skips Bar Code Labels

I have a Zebra 24M Plus bar code printer that is about 2 months old. The printer skips bar code labels when it is printing. I have to blow air into it with an air compressor to clean it out and that seems to temporaryly fix the problem for about one day. I print about 1000 bar code labels a day. What do you think is causing this problem.

It could be software related.  The best way to find out is to restart the computer where the labels are coming from.  Turn your printer off and back on again as well.  Run the program that loads the forms into the printer to print with.  
Is the printer on an ethernet connection or is it connected to a computer?

The printer prints one label and skips another one

First, I need to admit it. This is the worst printer I have ever used. I had all kond of troubles with it.
The skipping labels problem was my misery for 2 days to. I had to find out that my labels were falling out of the printing area generating a new page (label). Go back fix your width. Make sure your label fits one page (label). Print again. That's what I did. Good luck.

Advancing blank labels inbetween printing

Do you use adhesive labels? It looks like the printer is unable to make the difference betwen the labels. Verify that the printer it's not set on Continuous mode for the media type. Verify if there is any label (or pice of label) stiked on the upper media sensor (gap sensor). You can locate the upper media sensor using the User Manual (page 74). There is an User Manual available for download from Zebra website. You will find there precious information. The manual is very explicit and you will learn how to maintain your printer and how to troubleshoot some common errors. Clean your printer, assure to put the supplies on the right path, close the printhead and press Pause to enter in Ready state.
You can clean the sensor with an coton cloth dampened into isopropylic alcohol.

We presently have a Zebra 110XiIII Plus Printer that we use for printing labels containing Text and Bar Codes from an MS Access based application. Our current printer comes with a Roll of paper, and labels...

@ gould804.

I have the same model printer and utilizing it the same way with text and bar code. My issue is not the the font but rather the text is not printing, only the bar code. Maybe we can contact and work with each other to resolve both of your issues. let me know?

TLP 2844 skips over labels

The first thing I would do is to default the printer then run a width calibration. The instruction are in the user's manual that should have come with the printer. If the instruction did not come with the printer I can provide the instruction.
