| Printing Issues: Skipping Labels / Double Badge Printing / Not Printing |
- Badge paper loaded incorrectly.

- Loading Badge Stock:

- Make sure the badge paper is properly inserted with the timing mark facing down and inwards towards the printer sensors.
- Close the lid and press the Pause button once to unpause.
- Clearing Media Sensors:
- Open the lid.
- Wipe down any particles stuck to the top or bottom sensors that are preventing the printer from reading the badge stock.
- Make sure the media sensor is aligned with your media's marks or notches, usually the middle.
- Calibrating the printer:
- Press and hold the Pause and Cancel buttons simultaneously for 2 seconds. The printer will begin calibration.
- When finished, open the printer head and reload the media used for calibration.
- If using pre-printed badge paper that contains a dark segment on top, cover the top sensor on the printer with dark tape to avoid interference.
