Cutter does not cut or cuts poorly
Problem: Labels print, but are not cut, or the cuts are rough and torn.

Solutions:

• Label fragments may be stuck in the cutter. Remove the cartridge. Use a small tool such as tweezers or needle-nose pliers to carefully remove any fragments visible within the cartridge bay. Use caution not to damage any of the components in the cartridge bay. If you have concerns, please contact technical support for further assistance.

WARNING! Never attempt to remove fragments with your fingers. The cutter assembly includes very sharp components that can cause injury.

• Make sure the software is set to cut as desired (between labels or at the end of the job).

Labels won’t feed
Problem: Labels won’t advance out of the printer.
Solution: The leading edge of the label roll may be uneven or torn. Use a pair of scissors to cut a straight leading edge on the labels.

Labels are jammed in the printer
Problem: Labels are jammed in the printer.
Solution: Clear the jam.

1. Rotate the locking lever to unlock it. Unlocking retracts the platen so the cartridge can be removed. If the jam is large, you may have to force the locking lever to the unlocked position.
2. Remove the cartridge.
3. Use tweezers or a needle-nose pliers to carefully remove the jammed label and any fragments visible within the cartridge bay.

WARNING! Using metal objects to remove jams can scratch, dent, or crack the printhead. Use caution to avoid damaging the printhead.

Printer does not turn on
Problem: Nothing happens when I press the power button.
Solutions:

• The battery may need to charge. Plug the printer into a USB port using the USB cable that came with the printer. For more information, see “Power and Battery” on page 5.
• If the battery is charged and the printer still does not turn on, press and hold the power button for fifteen seconds to reboot the printer.

Printer turns off by itself
Problem: The printer frequently turns itself off.
Solutions:

• The battery may be low. Plug the printer into a USB port or wall outlet. For more information, see “Power and Battery” on page 5.
• The printer may be set to shut off automatically after too short a time.

Print quality is poor
Problem: Print is too light, fuzzy, grainy, compressed, offset, or has blank spots or lines.
Solutions:

• The ribbon may be wrinkled. Remove the cartridge from the printer and advance the ribbon by rotating the take-up spool clockwise until the wrinkled ribbon is no longer visible. Reinstall the cartridge and reprint the label. When reinserting the cartridge, be careful that the ribbon does not get caught on the metal at the bottom of the cartridge bay.
• Dust or adhesives may have accumulated on the printhead. Clean the printhead. See “Cleaning the Printhead and Platen Roller” on page 22.
• The media may not be usable. Install a different cartridge.
• The label supply may have a crease in it. Use the Express Labels app to feed the label supply past the crease and then reprint the label.
• If the print is compressed or offset, the platen roller may be dirty. Clean the platen roller. See “Cleaning the Printhead and Platen Roller” on page 22.

The first label printed has a black line on it
Problem: After being unused, the printer makes a black line on the first label printed.
Solution: If the cartridge is left locked when the printer is not in use, the printhead remains pressed against the platen roller. Residual heat in the printhead causes ink to transfer to the label. Reprint the label, and unlock the cartridge when the printer is not in use.

Nothing prints
Problem: I sent a file to the printer, but it didn’t print.
Solutions:

• Make sure the cartridge lock lever is locked. See “Loading Cartridges” on page 10.
• Check the cartridge for damage and replace it if it is damaged.
• Check for jammed labels. See “Labels are jammed in the printer” on page 25.
• Reboot the printer. Press and hold the power button for 15 seconds.

Text positioned incorrectly on pre-sized labels
Problem: Text on pre-sized labels is not positioned correctly.
Solution: There may be debris on the position sensor. Remove the cartridge and blow debris off the sensor using a can of compressed air. See “Cleaning the Sensor” on page 23.

Battery doesn’t fully charge in four hours
Problem: The printer has been plugged in for four hours and is not yet charged.
Solution: If you had printed until the battery was completely discharged, and then the printer was unused for a long time (about four weeks or longer), the battery may take six to eight hours to recondition and fully charge.

Printer not connecting to mobile device
Problem: The printer does not appear in my Express Labels app.
Solution: The printer may already be connected to another mobile device. Hold the power button on the printer for five seconds until the Bluetooth light starts blinking. This releases the printer so that you can connect to it.
