Printer does not print in correct place after calibration, stops and says paper error

Define your label size correctly. Measure your LABEL exactly, do not include the backing paper or the gap. Calibrate the printer. HOW?
Power off printer. Press and hold the green feed button down and power printer on. Count one, two and release green button. The printer will calibrate and move labels and then print some stuff on the label. Wait until it has comletely stopped. wait another few seconds and the press the feed key once. The printer will print "out of dump". You should now be ready to print again.

HI,

It is the process for determination by measurement or comparison with standard.
pls follow these steps,

just you switch off the printer and once again connect,
place the paper correctly,and ensure there is no print jobs are in quaue
If so goto printer and faxes and select the default printer
and open it and cancel the tasks.you better select according the
page numbers that you want to print.try with this.

Hi,

The Spot Sensor Out of Calibration error comes due to color paper placed in paper tray.

Follow the steps to resolve this issue.

1. Under printing preferences set the paper type to plain paper instead of automatic. This makes it so that the spot sensor doesn't need to look at the paper.
2. The spot sensor, when calibrating, needs plain white paper. Setting the plain paper instead of automatic helps if you are just printing, but colored paper makes the spot sensor confused during calibration.

If you are still not able to print, there is a utility program that fixes the issue too and which will be helpful for you in future use too. Click on the link to download the utility program : Utility download

Hope this resolves the issue.

run calibration,
check if the ribbon is load on correct possition, commun problem is the ribon go on wrong place and stop sensor gap to see the gap.

Try this one
Take out the inks and printhead
Leave the cartridge door open, then unplug the power cord from the back of the printer while the access door is open
Close the cartridge door once the cord is unplugged
Reconnect the powercord, turn on the printer, then your printer will look for your printhead "Printhead missing or not installed correctly..."
Then put everything back. make sure it will snap in to place. Then print a calibration page, then scan it. This is just over writing the error message.

The printer is dirty sensor label or no label is calibrated. Turn off the printer and press FEED, CANCEL, PAUSE and turn on, release the keys to advancing the label, and let print be calibrated. Roberto Martinez Mexico [email protected]

Sounds like you will need to perform the calibration procedure.
when you access the menu system go to advanced menu, the password is 9999, use the keys to navigate to manual calibration and follow the instructions. when it states load backing this is refering to backing paper, so remove the labels from the backing and place in label path. hope this helps

The sensor tag is not well calibrated, press FEED, PAUSE and CANCEL, turn on the printer and release the keys when you move the label to print and let the end be calibrated.
