Detecting a Media Out Condition
When you run out of media, your printer will report a ‘Media Out’ condition with the Status and Media
indicators both light solid red. This is part of the normal media usage cycle.
Recovering from a Media Out condition
1. Open the printer.
2. Observe that the media is at the end or nearly at the end of the roll with a label missing from the liner.
3. Remove the remaining media and roll core.
4. Insert a new roll of media. Go to Loading Roll Media on page 158.
• If you are installing more of the same media, just load the new media and press the FEED
(Advance) button once to resume printing.
• If you are loading different media (size, vendor, or even batch is different), then reloading media
followed by a SmartCal is needed to ensure optimal operation.
• Note that changing media size (length or width) usually requires you to change the programmed
media dimensions or the active label format in the printer.
IMPORTANT: Sometimes a label may be missing some where in the middle of your roll of labels (not at
the end of media). This will also cause a ‘Media Out” condition. To recover, pull the media past the missing
label until the next label is over the platen roller. Close the printer. Press the FEED (Advance) button once.
The printer will resynchronize the label position and will be ready to resume printing.
