Sounds like you're just in the wrong printing mode. Go into your front panel setup and search until you see
PRINT METHOD:
THERMAL TRANSFER.

Press the arrow buttons until it says DIRECT THERMAL, then save and exit.

SOURCE: Printer is paused alert ribbon

Locate your printer driver under devices and printers Right click on it and select "Printing Preferences" Choose the "Advanced Setup" tab Change media type to "Thermal Transfer" Be sure that "use printer settings" is NOT selected at the top left Click OK and you should be good. Note that any labels created prior to this change will need to be changed inside each label under the label setup.

SOURCE: my zebra printer s4m is saying ALERT CLEARED HEAD

Alert Head Open will show everytime u open the Head , when u close back the head it will show Alert CLeared Head Open, then it's normal.

Ribbon Out Show means the printer doesn't detect a ribbon, make sure there's nothing wrong with ribbon installation. if everything fine, then the problem is you Ribbon Sensor. u can try to adjust the sensor with a screwdriver ( - ), make a little bit higher

Zebra Zm 400 Ribbon Out
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.

S4M .how to do when it show alert massage
Are you using a ribbon? If so, then the ribbon is not loaded correctly passed the ribbon sensor. Or, the media is loaded in this position. Check the diagram on the inside of the door to make sure labels and ribbon are installed correctly. If you are not using ribbon, then you need to set the printer to direct thermal in the front panel and/or the software.

Tec 572 printer gives "no ribbon" error with ribbon installed
You have to set the ribbon type to be "non-transmissive" for black transfer film.
To set the ribbon type, turn the printer off. Then press and hold the "feed" and "pause" buttons while turning on the power. The printer will now be in diagnostic mode - you can page through the menus until it says "ribbon type"
Pick the correct type and press the "pause" key to save the value. Then turn off the printer and turn it on again normally. The ribbon error goes away.

How to reset factory default S4M. I try Pause and feed at starting the printer but it does'nt works. I have a display message: ALERT RIBON OUT.
This may be related to the printing mode you have configured. If you're printing on a thermal paper (direct) and the printer is configured for thermal transfer the printer will notify you that you are out of ribbon.
If you are printing on a regular paper and using a ribbon (thermal transfer) and the printer is configured for direct printing, the printer will notify you that you have a ribbon when you don't need one.

I hope this helps.
Regards,
Fábio

Zebra 140Xill problem
Whenever you open the printhead, the Pause led will light.

If you hit the Pause button, the printer should go back on-line and resume printing (if you didn't turn it off).

If that doesn't work, try the calibration button (labels will feed out), then the Pause button, then the Feed button.

If you don't want to toss too many labels when you calibrate, the "maximum label length" (or some name like that) can be adjusted through the front panel.
