Problem Solution

The ink ribbon is

separated from the ink

roller.

If the ink ribbon is broken,

replace the ribbon/tape

cassette.

If not, leave the tape uncut and

remove the ribbon/tape

cassette, then wind the loose

ink ribbon back onto the spool.

The label printer stops

while printing a ribbon/

label.

Replace the ribbon/tape cassette if striped tape is visible, as this

indicates that you have reached the end of the tape.

While printing, striped

tape appears.

The ribbon/tape cassette is empty. Insert a new ribbon/tape

cassette.

The ribbon/tape is not cut

automatically.

Select Auto Cut.

If using ribbon or special tapes, cut the ribbon/tape manually.

Printed barcodes or QR

codes cannot be read.
