Have lost the driver installation cd/floppy disk for Datamax M class 4206 label printer where could I get a replacement cd/floppy disk? The printer is the original Datamax M class 4206 printer made around 2003. Thanks

Usually you need ot set the discovery to disable and set a perminient IP address for the printer. When in discovery , depending you network, it may loose comms.
If your network is running DHCP. (192.168.x.xxx, try 192.168.1.200 /snm 255.255.0.0.

Also the dmxnet card takes a while to initialize(30 seconds).

This can be caused by either the software, or the printer's electronic or mechanical settings. Software will usually override the printer settings for print speed, temperature, label dimensions, etc. In order to fully diagnose, I would need to know if the print is too high, too low, too far left or right, or skipping a label, etc.

Yes, you can order another cd for the m-4206 from any authorized reseller. But, do you really need one? All the cd's have old drivers on them, and newer drivers are available online for free download.

Some changes were made on the I Class units and the new printheads do not work correctly in the discontinued 4206 models. You need part number DPO20-2262-01 for your I-4206.

This is due to print server problem, you should change the options on the driver.

Perhaps the sensor is out of position, you must move to the left. Also check that the hole senser is not blocked. Also verified that the sensor type (gap or black mark) in the software is correct.

Hello,

The way you can do this is to use Datamax fonts in your LabelMatrix program instead of truetype fonts like arial or times new roman. After making this change, do a test print and see if print improves. Another possible solution is use USB instead of Parallel cable (if you're not using it already).
