Chapter 6 – Troubleshooting

If experiencing this problem…

Try this solution…

Intellifont

will not print:

Intellifont

format is Little/Big Endian specific. The printer

uses Big Endian. Refer to your font supplier for information.

Light print on the right side (facing

the printer) of the label:

The Media Width Adjustment may be incorrectly adjusted;

see Section 5.3.

The Printhead or Platen Roller may be dirty or worn; clean

or call for service.

Missing information in the printed

label:

Check the label format for character placement outside the

dimensions of the label; all row/column values must allow

enough space for the height/length of the characters and
bar codes to be printed within the format size.

The available memory may have been exceeded by the

memory requirement of the label format. Try reducing the

memory allocated to either the internal module or
scaleable font caches; non-display printers see Section

3.4, display printers see Section 4.5.

If using serial communications, ensure that the interface

cable meets the requirements found in Section 2.1.

Missing print on left or right side of

the label:

Information may be formatted outside the label dimensions.

Check your software program label size. For display printers

also check the values in the menu for Print Control / Column

Offset and Print Control / Custom Adjustments / Column
Offset; see Section 4.5.

No power (all indicator lights are

‘Off”):

Verify that the AC power cord connection has been made

at both the outlet and the printer; also, ensure the power

switch is ‘On’.

Verify that the AC outlet is functioning, or try moving the

printer to another AC circuit.

The AC cord may be damaged; replace it.

The line fuse may be blown; call for service.
