If it has a USB connection, and is connected to a computer, open Device Manager and under USB (and Printer) Properties, Power Management tab, make sure the devices are not set to "allow this device to shut off to save power". Some device won't wake up if the computer uses Sleep mode. Power settings can be changed to not allow sleep mode which might do the same thing, and might be the easier way t prevent the problem.

This printer requires special software to print labels with. It uses a unique PCL language to work with. Thats why when you use these printers with Fedex or UPS software, it typically downloads forms first before working.
Zebra used to see a label designer program to work with it. You might want to check with them to see if they still carry it.

Hi Burgymon,
The font that is used under the barcode will use the last font properties described prior to the barcode in the output. You may want to suppress the human readable option and create a separate text field to display the text version of the barcode contents.

Hold the feed button while turning on the printer. After a config label
prints, turn the printer off and then on again, and try printing again.
Also, make sure the lid is closed far enough to engage the lid sensor.
If the red light comes on again, press down a bit on the lid, hit the
feed button and try to print again.

The printer driver should be set to Continuous or it will think it is still Gap or Black Mark. Please adjust accordingly
