Zebra 105SL
just installed it and when I print my label the media sticks to the ribbon misses the cutter and shoots out the top or wraps around the spool with the ribbon.
Please Help if you can!
Make sure that the ribbon options are turned on the printer. If you recently switch from using thermal stock which doesn't require a ribbon, then it needs to be turned on in the control panel of the printer.
If it is on, remove the ribbon cartridge from the unit and manually turn the wheels to make sure it is moving freely.
Usually on the printer there is switch the changes the gap from thermal to ribbon. Your on the right track though. It it continues, it could be a broken belt on the takeup motor for the ribbon cartridge.
Yes there is a physical switch or lever on the head of the printer. By default, the printer is usually set to run thermal stock. The print head has to be in contact with the paper to get it to work. If it is set in that mode and the transfer ribbon is in use, it will drag on the label stock.
Just out of curiousity, how come you aren't using thermal labels instead?
Your using it for garmet tags. Yes your probably right about that. When I worked for Pitney Bowes several I knew clothing company in Seattle that was using one of Monarch label printers that way. It was pretty fast.
Usually it is on the side of the thermal print head. Do you have a manual for that printer?
Most of them are running thermal these days because of the labels for shipping and mailing but for the ones that need it for ribbon transfer systems, it should be useful.
I hope I helped you there.

Nope.
checked and it looks right.
I opened the head and losened 2 screws this let a small plate slide down I then tighten the screws back up.
Maybe this will help aid in dividing the 2 up.
so far it is working.
When you say switch are you meaning a physical switch or simply in the settings.
Thanks for all your help in advanced.
I Must check this switch.
well, its a rubbery label we heat seal it on the inside of garments.
white,, ours comes in a roll about 1 1/2" - 2" wide
we are required to use this type because of national standards I would think.
don't know about speed, I am using it with a custom program with Oracle.
this label has a 2d barcode, complete garment info and 1 d barcode
Could you give me a physical location of the switch on the head of the SL?
thanks again!
yeah, I found one on line..
