Error conditon ribbon out

Dear,


you have not mentioned, whether print continues with that error or it doesn printer..?


anyway,


first thing, check your power cable.


If that error is on, it means that label media or ribbon sort of errors.
try re inserting both ribbons and media.


if tat error is flashing and printer continues printing, it may coz of over heat of head..! if so try reducing the pressure of the head.

if you are using continous labels, then calibrate the media and ribbon sensor.

ribbon in means, you choose direct thermal print method which is printing without a ribbon and yet you print with thermal transfer print method.

just check on lcd panel , change the print method to thermal transfer. and make sure the setting on your driver is thermal transfer too, or else it will keep reverting back to direct thermal

Check and clean the sensors, also the reflective surface. Make sure there are no lables stuck to the reflective surface. Use Isopropyl Alcohol to clean.

run calibration ribbon and media, and save. reset the printer and run Sensor profile.

You can run the manual calibration from the menu , just follow the directions. Also run the sensor profile to print out the digital representation of the media sensor .If you are using standard label stock this should tell you if the transmissive sensor is good. Depends on the media, follow the users manual if different media requirements.

Hello, assuming the supplies are Zebra and there is no discernible damage to the ribbon, it could mean that the ribbon sensor on the printer is broken. if your printer is still under warranty you can ship back to Zebra (Illinois) to get it repaired. The zebra website has info on how to return printers for service. Hope this helps.

Might foul the ribbon sensor, clean the sensor and try to print again.

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.

Try going through the LCD menu and if it say "Direct Thermal" change it to "Thermal Transfer", Direct Thermal made means, no ribbon required, but it sounds like you do have ribbon in the printer, if so, try my recommendation. If it asks for a password, it's '1234'.

Have you tried to reset the printers defaults?
