Lift the strip arm to off position whenever you do not choose stripper.
Put back the strip sensor whenever you do not choose stripper.
The strip bracket bar is used for strip function. If you dont need to use strip function, you may take
out the strip bracket bar and keep to safe place. Please follow these steps to install the strip
bracket bar.
Although the stripper function can support a label as short as 18 mm high, we suggest that the
minimum label height be more than 25 mm.

Choose the expected distance x (from the left edge to the start print position). In this case, we
suppose the distance is 4 mm (see figure 3.2.1).
Turn over the printhead assembly.
Move the gap sensor and choose the distance 4mm (from the left margin line to the digit 0 on ruler).
(See figure 3.2.2).
Load the media and move the label guide to fit in the medias edge.
Put back and fasten the printhead assembly; then you can try to print a label to verify the start print
position.

When opening the front cover, you can see two screws on the top of the printhead assembly. With different
paper material or ribbon material, you may need to adjust the printhead pressure by turning these two screws
to decrease or increase the pressure. If the pressure between the right and left sides of printer is not
balanced, please readjust these two screws.

Direct Thermal Printing:
Verify that the media is intended for direct thermal printing by testing if the
paper is blackened by the heat from a hot object (+ 70C/160F or more).
Check that the heat-sensitive side faces the printhead.
Thermal Transfer Printing:
Verify that the printer is loaded with thermal transfer ribbon and that the
ink-coated sided faces the receiving face material.
Remove the stuck labels and use soft cloth soaked with alcohol to clean
the adhesive glue.
Label or ribbon stuck on the printhead.
Software problem.
Margin setting incorrect.
Printhead not completely locked.
Make sure the ribbon is not wrinkled.
Adjust the printhead pressure screws to increase the pressure.
Check if using correct power source.
Labels stuck in the printer.
Clean printhead with alcohol (If the label glue is stuck to printhead, apply
alcohol to printhead, and wipe with soft cloth softly).
Replace printhead.
Check the gap sensor, it may be covered with dust.
Perform a Label Gap Sensor Adjustment as described on page 14.
Contact your label supplier, make sure they use qualified label material.
Check the label guide, it may not be in the proper position.
Check the label height setting.
