How does paper check and learn

The printer is loaded with paper and the top cover is covered. When the printer beeps twice and the indicator light turns blue, long press the "paper off" button for about 3 seconds, and release the "paper off" button. Then the printer will automatically move a section of paper for verification and learning.

Label printing offset

1. Whether the paper is smooth and the limit plate is adjusted properly.

2. Phenomenon 1:

Single label paper, left and right or up and down deviation, drive adjustment non-printing area, default all 0.

Adjust the value of the non-print area as follows:

Left: input positive value, the overall print area is right-biased according to the input value; Right: input positive value, the overall print area is biased to the left according to the input value.

Up: input positive value, the overall printing area is biased according to the input value; Down: input a positive value, and the overall print area is biased up according to the input value.

3. Phenomenon two: up and down gradually offset, print more, more up or down.

Cause: paper gap identification problem

The solution:

A. Check whether the paper type read by the self-check page/tool is the same as the actual paper type. If not, change the paper type.

B. The driver sets the paper specifications to the actual paper specifications.


Print off the blank and skip

Cause: the photocoupler can not sense the position of the paper, the paper specification set by the driver does not meet the actual paper.


The solution:

1) Adjustment of optocoupler position:

Black label paper

1. Adjust the optocoupler at the bottom of the paper to minimize interference.

2. Set the actual paper specifications for the driver, and the sensor type is black mark.

The label paper

1. Adjust the optocoupler at the bottom of the paper to minimize interference.

2. Actuation set actual paper specifications, sensor type is clearance.

Continuous feed

1. Adjust the optocoupler at the bottom of the paper to minimize interference.

2. The actual paper specification is set for the driver, and the sensor type is continuous.


2)The paper specification set by the driver does not conform to the actual paper, set the paper specification:

A. Paper specifications: Right-click printer Driver - Printer Properties - Preferences - Paper specifications.

B. Sensor type: Preferences - Advanced Settings - Sensor type.


The print driver test page cannot print

1. Check whether the driver is correctly installed and the printer model in use.

2. Check whether the driver is reinstalled and delete redundant drivers.

3. Check whether the port configuration is correct.

4. If the USB port is used:

A. If A computer is connected to multiple USB devices, the ports may contain multiple ports, such as USB001, USB002, USB003, etc. You need to select the correct ports to print properly. (You can also directly select the port RONGTA USB, no matter which USB port is connected to the computer can be used)

B. If all USB ports are not working, you can go to [Device Manager] -- [Universal Serial Bus Controller] to check whether "USB print support" is displayed. If not, the port is not identified.

Solution: Replace the computer USB port, replace the USB data cable.

5. If the serial port is used: The port may be occupied, causing printing failures. Release the occupied serial port before printing.

6. If a network port is used: The printer and router may not be in the same network segment. Ping the printer to check whether the communication is normal.

7. If the use of parallel port: need to select the correct parallel port, in [device manager] - [port] to check the computer parallel port is LTP several.
