Common Faults ZEBAR Zebra Barcode Printer Repair

It is not uncommon for bar code printers to be used in real work and life. Our company has encountered some common faults in selling and using zebra bar code printers for a long time. Today, I will sort out the maintenance methods of ZEBAR zebra bar code printers for common faults as follows, so as to provide reference for emergencies.

Several situations in which an error occurs in a 1. printer

There will be several errors that will affect the normal printing of the printer. Some will stop the operation of the printer, while others will only remind the operator and will not affect the printing.

A print head open error will cause the entire printer to stop printing. The print head temperature is low, it will not affect the specific use. Can still operate normally.

Label run out error, carbon tape run out error, print head open error, cutter error

Run out of labels, run out of ribbons, wrong cutter. causes the printer to stop printing. Then make the error light always on. And the print head open error, just make the error light flash.

Once one or more of the above errors occur, the printer's Pause light will turn on. Then wait for the user to eliminate the error. Once the user has cleared the error, the user can press the Pause button to put the printer in normal operation.

Of course, if the printer is in the state of printing labels before the error. Then the printer will continue the previous printing after clearing the error.

Print head too hot

When the print head gets too hot, all print jobs are stopped. Then the error light will flash slower. Once the temperature of the print head returns to normal, the printer continues to print its job.

In the event of overheating of the print head, other functions of the printer are still normal. For example, Feed, and calibrate are relatively normal.

Print head too cold

A similar situation will occur in the printer when the temperature of the print head becomes relatively low. But the difference is that the printer does not stop printing. It's just that the error light will flash slower. So the print head temperature is too low and will not affect the normal use.

The power supply is too hot

When the power supply becomes hot, all print jobs are stopped. At this point the error light will flash slower. When its temperature drops again, the printer will continue to print normally. Its phenomenon is similar to the overheating of the print head.
