1、The overall content of the printed label looks unclear, white in color, and rough, how to solve the problem?

①Pick up the thermal transfer ribbon and observe with the naked eyes whether the coating of the ribbon (or understand the film-forming surface, surface layer) is uniform;

②Clean the print head and rollers with industrial alcohol and cotton to remove dust;

③ Increase the printing temperature and slow down the printing speed to see if it is good;

④ Adjust the overall pressure of the printer to see if it resolves;

⑤ Check whether the label and thermal transfer ribbon match, and whether the compatibility of printing is good;

⑥The resolution of the printer is too low, it is recommended to replace the high definition print head, or printer;

⑦ The supply axis or rewind axis of the thermal transfer ribbon tension is not accurate, need to adjust to the appropriate size;

⑧The number of ribbon printing is close to its life, then the ribbon should be replaced.


2、The printed label effect is clear on one side and light on the other side, how to solve it?

①Check whether the print head button on the light side is pressed tightly;

②Clean the light side of the print head and roller part, there may be dust and thermal transfer ribbon accumulation;

③Check whether the film surface of the thermal transfer ribbon is even and whether there is a bad situation;

④Print light side, the naked eye to observe the roller wear serious, it is recommended to change the new roller;

⑤ Print light side, the naked eye to observe the print head wear serious, it is recommended to change the new print head;

⑥ Print head on both sides of the pressure imbalance, you need to increase the printer on the light side of the print head pressure;

⑦ Adjust the printer light side of the print head before and after the position, adjust to the print head and roller is located in the highest point of the horizontal plane.


3、Some spots occasionally appear on the printed labels, how to solve it?

① The printer has accumulated dust, you need to use special cleaning tools to clean in time;

② Printing temperature is too low, increase the printing temperature;

③ Adjust the front and rear position of the print head on the bias side to the highest point of the print head and roller on the horizontal plane;

④ Print head on both sides of the pressure imbalance, you need to increase the printer on the light side of the print head pressure.


4、The printed barcode image is not clear, how to solve?

①May be using inferior thermal transfer ribbon or the ribbon is expired, please choose a new ribbon with better performance;

②May use inferior label paper, please replace the label paper with a better one for testing;

③The temperature setting is low, the thermal transfer ribbon can not be completely transferred, please raise the temperature and reset;

④The print head becomes dirty or the installation position is not correct, please use alcohol and cotton swab to clean or adjust the position of the print head properly, especially pay attention to the same high.


5、Print out the label above the white wrinkles, slanted strip phenomenon, how to solve?

① Printing temperature is too high, it is recommended to reduce the printing temperature;

②The printer's left and right pressure imbalance, there may be a side of the adjustment is too large, it is recommended to adjust to the appropriate position;

③Print head part of the front stopper, the position is loose or too much difference between the left and right position;

④The printer's print head part, the left side may be too far in front of the roller, the right side of the back, resulting in wrinkles;

⑤Unstable tension caused by, such as long-term use of 300 meters, now 450 meters;

⑥New print head, print head is not installed smoothly, reinstallation can be;

⑦The thermal transfer ribbon factory has the phenomenon of wrinkles, is a product quality problem;


6、Print out the label content fixed position, there are white thin stripes, how to solve?

① Take industrial alcohol and cotton to clean the print head and rollers, wipe out the dust;

② Check the roller, whether there is a knife scraping and other traces, resulting in printing when turning 360 degrees fixed position is not clear, replace the roller;

③ Print head is fixed position broken needle, replace the new print head;

④ Whether the fixed position of the thermal transfer ribbon has a white line, a product quality problem;


7、There are words on the thermal transfer ribbon but the label paper is blank, how to solve?

① The thermal transfer ribbon surface of the ribbon direction is not correct, change the outer carbon ribbon and ribbon device way.

②The thermal transfer ribbon and print media do not match, change the matching ribbon, or adjust the printer concentration.

③The printer concentration and speed is not appropriate, the printer concentration should be adjusted upward.

④The thermal transfer ribbon and paper direction is not consistent, the way the newly installed ribbon to be consistent with the machine pointing, should remove the ribbon, follow up pointing to install the ribbon.

⑤High-speed / suspension ribbon low speed / flat pressure ribbon generally not interchangeable, according to the printer required ribbon to adjust.


8、Printed label content, each corresponding location will be missing a part, how to solve?

①Take industrial alcohol and cotton to clean the print head and rollers to wipe off the dust;

②Pick up the thermal transfer ribbon currently printing, naked eye to observe whether the ribbon coating is uniform;

③ Observe the corresponding position of the roller, see if there is a knife scrape, and dent traces, replace the new roller;


9、Printing process, the quality of the print effect in front of the part is good, the back part is not good, how?

①Pick up the thermal transfer ribbon currently being printed and observe with the naked eye whether the coating (film surface layer) of the ribbon is even;

②Whether the surface coating and back coating of the barcode ribbon are stuck together;

③The back coating is not uniform, or the back coating is missing, resulting in a decrease in printing quality, which is a product quality problem;


10、When the thermal transfer ribbon starts printing, the starting one will have a black line printed on it, how to solve?

①Appropriate to reduce the printing temperature try;

②Print head part of the front stopper, the location of the loose or too on too under the situation, it is recommended to adjust to the appropriate location;

③Printer printing, open the backward position function, resulting in this situation.


11、Printing process, will jump one or two blank labels, or leakage of paper phenomenon, how to solve?

①Check the man-made, there is no problem with the installation, whether the installation to the sensor below over;

②Observe whether the label sensor part of the label, dust and other blockages, clear and alcohol cleaning can be;

③Check the computer side of the printer driver items and software items label size settings, whether and the actual match, including spacing;

④The printer to re-measure the paper operation, if not, restore the factory value operation;

⑤Printer after a long time, the label sensor electrical pressure is weak, aging and other phenomena, it is recommended to replace the new;

⑥If it does not work, find a new firmware version to refresh the printer to see if the solution;

⑦Label backing paper translucency is not normal;


12、Printing process, labels go, the thermal transfer ribbon will not go, how to solve?

①First check the pressure of the printer, whether the single side is too large, it is recommended to adjust to the appropriate size;

②Such as: whether the factory outside the carbon, or inside and outside the ribbon can be used, this link to check the supplies have no errors;

③Thermal transfer ribbon slitting is bad (including the paper core is misaligned left and right);

④Change to thermal paper is not loaded ribbon printing, observe whether the ribbon shaft rotation, such as the rotation of the pre-installation is not in place, does not turn that the machine is bad (ribbon shaft internal spring, ribbon sensor aging voltage is small);

⑤Thermal transfer ribbon surface coating and back coating stick together, a product quality problem.


13、The thermal transfer ribbon printing process, the last few meters remaining, it can not turn, what causes?

① Observe the last few meters of the thermal transfer ribbon roll tension is too tight;

②Observe the last few meters of thermal transfer ribbon surface and back layer are stuck together, not easy to pull down;

③Confirm whether the specifications of the thermal transfer ribbon sold to the customer are not the same as before, such as the number of meters is too large;

④The thermal transfer ribbon has a lot of electrostatic force;

⑤Barcode printer thermal transfer ribbon supply end spring tension is too small, need to replace the new spring;
