I think you will also need to change the settings in the menu. Hold the l/h arrow key when powering on to access the menu. then change to correct p/h.

Hello, Sometimes you will get that noise from buying alternative ribbons or using originals that are too tight. Best way to know is by replacing ribbon for a new one and checking if the noise goes away. If that doesn't help, please send me an e-mail at [email protected]

Hi, you can have 3 scenarios here, the print head is faulty, mainboard faulty or darkness set to low, please reset printer to factory default without any lpt/com/usb/network cables connected, turn off and on. try to run Pause test ( turn on printer with pause button pressed for 5 sec and release it)

think this is done when you print it ? how long is a bit of string?? as long as you need is the answer so load or download and load the software for it and work from its templates

The P110i, and sister-printer P120i did have some card-feed issues in early models, that were addressed thru engineering fixes later in their production run (that model has been out of production many years). There are a few things you can check: 1. Make sure there is nothing in the card input slot (where the cards drop in) that could be obstructing the path of any new cards; 2. Make sure the hopper is at least half-full of cards: the extra weight/pressure of the additional cards helps ensure the cards are properly aligned with the input slot; 3. Clean any rollers or guides in the input area - if there's slippage, it could be related to dust build-up, not allowing the card to be grabbed and pulled in; 4. Separate the cards, then re-stack them. In the cooler months, static charges can build up, making cards stick to one another. Breaking this "bond" could help. (be careful not to touch the printable surface of the cards when doing this step) If you're still having issues at this point, the next most-likely issue is with the card presence sensor itself. If the sensor has gone bad, it can report that no cards are present - preventing printing completely. You can then pursue repair or replacement of the unit as a whole. Note that, as this printer has been out of production and is no longer supported, replacement may be advised vs. the cost of repairs. www.safecardid.com

When I have that problem with my GK420t, it seems that the font needs to be changed. Try switching to one of the other "Zebra" fonts.

Hey!

Please visit www.nicelabel.cl
Enter an email and download best driver for zebra for free

You can avoid the issues just downloading for free a driver pack for your printer at www.nicelabel.cl (you will just need to enter an email and will get it free at downloads)

Only if you have acces to the software. Are you using a label design program like Zebra Design or Bartender software?

There are 3 different DPI Printheads for Zebra printers if you print a label set up for a 200 DPI Printhead on a printer with a 300 DPI Printhead installed it will be about 66% of the size.

Zebra is not officially supported on macs. There is a 3rd party CUPS driver at this link. Support for the GC420d Desktop Printer

Download the user manuals and guides from here: https://www.zebra.com/us/en/support-downloads/card/p330i.html#mainpartabscontainer_81ce=manuals

There may not be enough printer memory to do the job. Either wait a while when printing so the memory can clear and reload or add memory to the printer.

The firmware download utility program comes on the CD supplied with the printer. Use this to download the firmware file to the printer. Check on the zebra website for the latest firmware file. (You should be able to download the Download utility program from the website also. (Steady red may indicate that the printer is set to the incorrect operating mode. Check that you have the correct setting in your printer driver - Thermal Transfer if you use a ribbon, Direct Thermal if not) Easiest way to check is to insert a ribbon and see if printer works)

If it says save, I'd suggest the printer has been set to PDF or some such, or the destination has been set to FILE:

It sounds like you might have a job stuck in the print-queue. Best way to check is to start with a clean slate: 1. Shut-down your badge-software, and disconnect the printer from its power source; 2. Navigate to the Windows print center - accessible from the Control Panel as "Printers & Faxes" if Windows-XP, or "Devices and Printers" if Windows 7. 3. Right-click on your Zebra P110i printer, and select "See What's Printing" to open the queue, and see if there are jobs there. If so, click "Printer" on the menu, and then "Cancel all Document". 4. You also should ensure that you don't have any additional instances of the printer drive installed - they would show up as Zebra P110i (Copy 1), ... (Copy 2), etc. This occurs within Windows if you've disconnected the PC-end of the USB cord, and then plugged into a different USB port than originally used. If you have multiple instances, the easiest way to clean this up is to right-click on each sequentially, selecting "Remove this Device". Do this for each one. 5. Now you have a "clean slate". Connect the Zebra printer to the PC's USB, and then re-connect the power. If it doesn't power on, push the power button so it is on. 6. WAIT until Windows recognizes the pritner and you see the device is ready to use. 7. Open your badge software, and select a single card to print, and send it to the printer. If all goes well, this single card will print correctly, then the printer will come back to a ready status. Repeat for a second card, and make sure it prints correctly, and comes back to ready. If all is good, you've likely cleared the issues up, and you can proceed normally. If not, then there may be a physical problem with the printer, where it is not recognizing that a finished card has been ejected and the job is done, or it's not communicating that "done" status back to the host PC.

Try cleaning the printhead.

you might have a 203dpi print head in one. you will physically have to remove and check the part # on the print head to verify it is a 300dpi [email protected]
