Datamax I-CLASS DMX-I-4308 Label Printer - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
Prints no label
Your program is most likely sending codes the printer does not understand. Try a test page from your driver if that works check the settings in your program. If it fails the driver test print you may have the wrong driver installed.
How do i change font size
Not sure what kind of Datamax you are looking at, but you would need to change that via the software that you are using to create the labels.
Media sensor
Remove the metal cover by removing the screws along the bottom left edge and one in the rear top right corner, and loosening the ones at the hinge in the top center. Then remove the screw on the media sensor, and pull the ribbon cable out of it's socket. The sensor slides out from the circuit board side of the center plane.
Printer will not print
There's a "Media Sensor" in the Datamax that is evidently having trouble seeing the labels. The sensor is inside of a horizontal bar above the labels and just behind the Printhead. That bar is movable. Make sure that the vertical mark, usually white, is positioned over the label - best if it is the center of the label. Also make sure that there is no label or ribbon material stuck in that area. Hold "Feed" button down for a few seconds after checking those two things to "Re-calibrate" the sensor.
Trying to calibrate labels on E4205 and having
Hope you found a resolution to your issue by now, but if not, there was a firmware update meant to address calibration issues. You can also do an empty calibration where you remove the media and hold the feed button until the platen roller turns, then load the media and do the quick calibration where you press and hold the feed button. I have also found that moving the media sensor towards the center of the media sometimes helps. You can also try moving the media sensor, do the Empty Calibration, then the Quick Calibration, tehn move the sensor back and do both calibrations again.
