Troubleshooting Checklist

Even though Intermec designed your printer to operate under harsh
conditions, you may still encounter a printer operation, print quality, or
communication problem at some time. You can easily fix most of the
errors you encounter and consequently not delay operation of the printer
for very long.

To troubleshoot your printer

1 First try cleaning the printer components and checking all of the

connections. See Chapter 3, “Maintaining the Printer,” for details.

2 If cleaning the printer and checking the connections does not solve the

problem, use the following tables to locate the symptom. Follow the
solution in the table to fix your problem.

If you receive an error message, refer to the IPL Programming Reference
Manual
(P/N 066396) for a complete list of error messages and their
solutions.

If the problem persists, contact your Intermec Customer Service
Representative (1-800-755-5505) from North America. If you are an
international customer, contact your local Intermec representative.
