We turn on the printer, and then when we try to calibrate it, just keeps feeding the label non stop
SOURCE: Zebra S600 printer continues calibrating
The factory default settings for the S600 is to auto calibrate every time the printhead is closed and every time the power is cycled. If the media sensor is not positioned correctly for the media you are using the label size will not be detected during a calibration. You mentioned the media has no markings, doe sthe media have a space between the labels? If so, the media sensor may not see the gap in the labels adn therefor is not calibrating properly or not calibrating at all. Check the media sensor position. I have found that the media sensor must be at least 1" from the inner wall of the printer so it doesn't see the edge of the backing in oder to read the size of the labels.
SOURCE: Manual calibration of labels not
Press pause and feed keys and turn on the printer, release the keys until it begins to move the label. Expected to finish printing, the printer was calibrated.

Hello,
It seems like you have a bad upper/lower media sensor or you need to adjust or clean it. If you remove your media and ribbon from the printer you will see two sensor's right behind the printhead. Printhead will need to be in the open position to see them. They should be emitting a red light. Clean and recalibrate. If that doesn't work it should the two sensors. They come in a kit. And just to be on the safe side you can call in to my technical support team to verify that is your problem. Its Free as long as parts that are needed are ordered thru us.
If you have any other questions please feel free to call.

SOURCE: TLP 2844 GAP sensor problem (I guess)
I had the same problem. I found out later there was a small piece of label sticking against the sensor, thus blocking the sensor from sensing the end of the label. As soon as I removed the label (open the cover, it is on the top part) it immediately started to work as usual. Hope this helps.

Hi Brian,
When the last label printed is still under the printhead, that means the printer is in "rewind mode". There should be an option for "tear off" mode in the printer driver. This is the mode that pushes the last label printed out to the tear bar. The printer will then "backfeed" when printing the next label. Peel off mode is used if you want to print a label and have it "peeled" off the liner so that you can just pick up the label off the liner and apply it. That takes the rewind option to be installed.
Watch out though, if you are using a label software package, there might be a setting in the label format setup for "tear off" which usually overrides the settings in the printer.
Hope that helps !
