You just have to do is jsut adjust the size of the print you are taking. For eg. If you are printing the paper of A4 in a legal size of paper than the above error will be raised. Just adjust A4 to legal(As per the example. You have to choose as per your own need.)
Check the label on the back of the printer.
If the configuration has either 10500-2xxx-xxxx or 10500-3xxx-xxxx, you don't have to set the resistance manually, the printer sets it automatically.
Could you please be a little more specific? do you even use a black ink ribbon? If not the printer should be set for thermal direct in the front panel. If you do have the ribbon installed then power down the printer and hold down the pause and feed keys. While holding them down turn on the printer and count to 6 and let go of pause and feed.
You can find the information about installation of rewinder in the printer manual. You can download that manual by clicking this link which I uploaded for you.
The DARKNESS setting controls the amount of ink released to the label. The 105 has a range of 1-30, 1 is the lightest - 30 is the darkest. The setting used will depend on the combination of label / ribbon used. There is no "correct" number, always try to use the lowest setting with acceptable print quality.
The DARKNESS can be adjusted from the front panel by pressing SETUP and changing or DARKNESS can be controlled from the software or printer driver. The printer driver or software usually overrides the setting in the printer.
One of the most common problems with Zebra Xi, XiII, XiIII, Xi4, and 105S,105Se, 105SL series of printers is sensing or proper advancement of the labels. The printer has two sensors, top and bottom, that must be properly aligned with each other. If you are not sure they are aligned correctly, see my other tip on how to align the media sensors. The label passes between these two sensors. The idea is that the label blocks the light between the two sensors and the gap between each label does not block the light. So the labels advance based on light, no light, light, no light. Note that the red light you see in the “throat” of the printer when you raise the printhead is not the sensor being discussed here. That red light is a “reflective” or “mark” sensor and is used for a different purpose. Sometimes the labels are on a backing (liner) that is almost as opaque as the label itself. If this happens, then not enough light passes through the liner when the gap passes under the sensor. The printer loses the ability to find top-of-form. We can recalibrate the printer sensors however to adjust to this new liner. My video at the link below will walk you through step-by-step on how to calibrate the sensitivity of the media sensor. The ribbon sensor is recalibrated at the same time. Once this is done, the printer should now easily advance from label to label. The procedure may have to be performed each time for different thicknesses of liners or backing. Video tip:
If you are refering to print speed, from the label format, press F5 to bring up the LABEL & SETUP PROPERTIES. Click on LABEL OPTIONS and print speed will be the first choice.
If you are refering to how fast data is sent to the printer, then that depends on the connection to the PC and whether you are using true-type fonts or not.
On the front panel of the printer:
Press SETUP/EXIT
Press NEXT/SAVE until you see a setting call PRINT METHOD
Change the setting from THERMAL TRANS to DIRECT
Press SETUP/EXIT
Press NEXT/SAVE to make a permanent save
Some possible reasons:
1. The darkness is not set high enough for the paper/ribbon combination
2. The ribbon is on backwards. Zebra uses coated-side out ribbons so the ribbon should be coming off the right side of the roll if you're looking at it from the side.
If you change the speed setting on the printer, print a label, and the speed setting reverts to a different setting then the print speed is being changed from the printer driver.
There is no way to get around the recalibration for different sizes of label, you must do it at every different label height, The callibration only sets the label height/length, so try doing the same length labels in sequence.
Thanks for using Fixya, Try out the following things:-
1) Replace empty roll of ribbon
2) Perform calibration on the printer
Calibrating Media Sensors
Press the “MENU” button to enter setup mode.
Using the “right arrow” button scroll to the “MEDIA or RIBBON CALIBRATE” option.
Press “ENTER” to start the calibration procedure. The “LOAD BACKING or REMOVE RIBBON” prompt is displayed.
Open the print head.
Remove approx. 8 inch of labels from the backing, and pull the media into the printer so that only the baking is between the media sensors.
Remove the ribbon.
Press the right arrow to continue. The message “CALIBRATING PLEASE WAIT” displays. The printer adjusts the scale [gain] of the signals that it receives from the media and ribbon sensors.
Reload the media and ribbon when display reads “RELOAD ALL”
Close the print head.
Press the right arrow to continue. The display will read “CALIBRATING PLEASE WAIT”.
Press the “MENU” button and save changes permanent.
