Good Day I trust that you are well, which interface are you using (Serial, Parallel or USB) on printer to connect to the computer you printing from? Have you tried printing a test page from the print driver?

Run a config label and see if you have the same issue. Power it up while holding cancel key is the easiest way to do that.

You need to give more info. Are you using labelling software?

You may have problem with your Printhead cable or Logic, I'd start by re-seating the cable on both ends. If that does not work I'd replace the PH as it will wear out eventually anyway if it is not the problem you can keep it as a spare.

Sounds like the main board needs replacing. Google '77904m PWB" and you will get a place to buy the part. However you mentioned the IP the Z4m does not have an Ethernet option so make sure that it isn't a Z4m+.

Press Setup/exit first option should be Darkness. Press Select then the plus key. Press setup/exit twice to exit and save.

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)

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.

I would venture a guess that the sensor that detects the labels isn't working well - it's supposed to see the difference between label and backing paper and stop at the correct position.

There must be a piece of debris in there. Pull out the roll and examine closely with flashlight and magnifier. And try blowing it out with canned air.

If it's in pdf, then just print it with the printer driver

Sounds like a miss-match on the labels you are loading and the labels it is set up for. You'll have to go into the printer properties and check (and adjust as needed) the label stock selected to make sure they match. Next check the setting on the printer its self for the same for label stock selected. Most likely you're trying to use a label stock different then it was using before.
