Xiaobian finishing to provide:

Reason one: print head imbalance

Solution: Turn off the power supply of the barcode machine, press and hold the "PASUE" key on the panel to turn on the power supply, and then release the finger until the machine automatically outputs paper. At this time, the machine enters the self-test mode and will print the test label. Observe the effect of the test page to judge the printer pressure. For example, the test page shows light on the left and black on the right, while the machine pressure is large on the right and small on the left.

The adjustment method is as follows:

With the 7/64 model of the inch hexagon tool, loosen the two hexagon screws on the right side of the print head assembly, turn the part indicated in the figure below, turn clockwise to increase the pressure on the left side of the print head, and turn counterclockwise to increase the pressure on the right side of the print head. Use the method of printing while adjusting until the problem is solved.

Reason two: the label is not installed

Solution: If the label is not installed properly, is not installed according to the specified path or the clamping position is not tight, the label is easy to run left and right during printing, causing the carbon ribbon to wrinkle.

First of all, when installing the new label, check whether it is tightly rolled, because the label will easily run during printing because it is too loose. Pay attention when installing the label. According to the label installation instruction chart on the machine, the label should be close to the inside of the machine as much as possible. After the label is installed, the "label installation baffle" and "label baffle" should be fastened. The label is shown in the figure below to prevent the label from running left and right.

Reason three: the ribbon is not installed

Solution: If the carbon tape is not installed properly and is not installed according to the specified path, the printing process is easy to cause the carbon tape to wrinkle. Attention should be paid when installing the carbon belt. According to the carbon belt installation instruction diagram on the machine, the carbon belt must be pushed to the end during installation.

Reason four: roller wear

Solution: When the machine roller wear is serious, there will be left and right imbalance, that is, the height of the left and right sides of the roller is different, and the printing process is easy to cause the carbon belt to wrinkle. General roller wear cannot be repaired and can only be replaced with new ones.

Reason five: ribbon control baffle imbalance

Solution: The baffle on the print head is used to control the balance of the carbon ribbon. Generally, when the new machine is used, the baffle does not need to be adjusted because the parts of the machine are not worn and the pressure is relatively balanced. After the machine is used for a period of time, the carbon ribbon is wrinkled due to the wear of the parts and the imbalance of the pressure. At this time, the carbon ribbon control baffle can be adjusted to balance the carbon ribbon to complete printing.

The method is as follows:

Use a screwdriver to loosen the screw on one side of the baffle, adjust the baffle up or down, adjust and print, and find a suitable position.

Reason six: print temperature is too high

Solution: When the machine is in normal condition, it only needs to be adjusted to the appropriate temperature for printing. Too high a temperature will cause the carbon ribbon to wrinkle. When the printer display screen displays "PRINTER READY", press SETUP/EXIT key and press the black oval key "-" on the lower left of the display screen to reduce the printing color depth, and adjust until the printed effect meets the requirements and the carbon tape does not wrinkle. In principle, the lowest temperature is used to print the best effect.

Reason seven: ribbon supply shaft pull is too small

Solution: Tighten the screw on the right side of the ribbon supply shaft with a tool to compress the spring inside the ribbon supply shaft, and the tension will increase.

Reason eight: ribbon quality problems

Solution: When the carbon ribbon manufacturer cuts the carbon ribbon, the carbon ribbon is wrinkled in the manufacturing process. Even if there is no problem with the machine during the printing process, wrinkling will occur. However, this phenomenon can be found with naked eyes, and the solution can only replace the good carbon ribbon.
