Cause The printer can not print
Communication error. Check the print line is not connected, there is no loose like that. If the parallel or USB cable, then it can be ruled out by replacement. If the network printing, then you can observe the network port lights and use PING command to test the network cable is not connected.
 Drive damage. Try to re-install the driver.
 Printer driver is set to print offline or pause printing. Open the print driver, on the toolbar of the "Printer" drop-down menu look at "Pause Printing" or "Use Printer Offline" is not a check mark, yes, can be removed.
Common Cause The printer can not print
 Check the printer port is not correct. Commonly used port printer has parallel, USB port, Ethernet port. Parallel words rarely wrong, USB port, then some of the models will be asked to use the same USB port, if the replacement of the word must make corresponding changes in the drive, otherwise it will not print. If the network to print, then, to determine the IP computer with printer is not in the same network segment, a second look at the print driver to fill the printer IP address is not the same and printer settings.
Common Cause The printer can not print
 In general, after the above steps of the investigation can solve most problems. There can not be resolved to give me a message.

Printer troubleshooting
Check whether the printer is set as the default printer, if not, set as follows: Click Windows "Start" menu, point to "Settings", click "Printers" to open the "Printers" window. Right-click the printer icon, the pop-up shortcut menu, click the "Set as Default." Check whether the current printer is set to pause printing, is in the "Printers" window, right-click the printer icon in the drop-down menu, check the "Pause Printing" is a small hook (eg ^ 07030406a ^ 1) option. If the "Pause Printing" option, deselect this option on a small hook, and then print again. Type a few lines of text in the "Notepad" or "WordPad" and then click "Print" on the "File" menu. If you can print the test document, may be used by the program you have problem, you use WPS, WORD, or other applications to check whether the correct printer, if the application generates a print file, check the program generate sprinter ribbon output is correct. Check whether the printer driver is corrupted, "Printer Driver" can cause damage to the printer can not print, you can right-click the printer icon, and select "Delete", and then double-click "Add Printer" and re-install the printer driver, then print again. If the re-installation works fine, the problem is a damaged printer driver.

Printer troub leshooting
Printer With the decline in prices, has begun to spread. In the process of using the printer, the most common problem is the printer can not print, this problem bring some trouble to the user.
First make sure the printer is online, on most printers, "OnLine" button next to have a little light indicates online status, normally the online indicator should be in steady state. If the light is off or is flashing, indicating that online is not normal. Check the printer is turned on, the printer's power switch is turned on, the printer cable is properly connected and the like. If the online indicator shows online correctly, please turn off the printer, and then turn again to try to print the document. This action can clear the printer to print a document stored in memory, data and can solve many problems, but sometimes this method will result in printouts with confusion, you need to reboot the system after normal printing.

Ribbon Fault and Maintenance

Ribbon Fault and Maintenance
1, breaking the ribbon - a printer ribbons tension is too large, pull off the sutures or word hammer smashing ribbon cause ribbon rupture. In the former case can be broken part cut, sewn back good; the latter case, as long as you can change the ribbon.
2. ribbon is jammed - off the wire edge ribbon, easily wrapped ribbon round after fluffing led ribbon round cards, ribbons not properly retract the ribbon cartridge. The solution: First, open the printer cover, turn the ribbon discharge interlock lever arm and hammer open, end ribbon belt ribbon cassette gently back, and then close the arm with the hammer on the ribbon row interlock handle, turn on the power, the machine will be in self-test ribbon Replace the ribbon cartridge.
3, ribbon capstan drive belt worn or broken - this failure is due to drive belt or chain of characters used for too long caused friction drive belt. The solution is to adjust the position of the character chain, it is no longer friction drive belt; already broken, replace it.
4, ribbon motion sensing signal interruption - to check if ribbon motion sensor signal line has been damaged, if broken, replace the signal line; then check the interlock signal conversion board Ribbon motion sensing line at J6 socket whether damaged or not, replace or plugged signal lines

Needle printer

Needle type printer is a special kind of printer, and ink-jet, laser printers are there is a big difference, and this difference needle type printer are other types of printers can not be replaced, it is precisely because of this, needle type printer always have their own unique market share, in the service of some special industry users.

Needle type printer in the print head is through 24 needle hit the carbon paper, thusforming a font, in use, the user can according to the demand to select multiple paper,commonly used multiple paper 2 joint, 3 joint, 4 joint papers, which have also used the6 associated printer paper. Multiple paper disposable needle type thermal transfer printer ribbon printer can onlyprint finished quickly, ink jet printer, laser printer is unable to realize the multipleprinting paper.Basic ----1964 years, Olympiad held in tokyo. At that time, responsible for providingtiming products Epson Corp especially developed crystal chronometer 951 and printtype chronograph. These two products are not only at the time to shine, but also for the future company transformation and Printer ribbon diversification brought profound R & D base and opportunity. Development - the world's first PC with mainstream needle type printerIn 1978, Epson Corp issued a needle type printer (7 pin) TP-80, product well received. In 1980, MP-80 (pin 9) published, also caused a sensation in the world,second years, MP-80 in the Japanese market share as high as 60%, in USA marketalso received high evaluation, gradually become the mainstream of the world's firstneedle type printer for PC products.

The technical index of the thermal transfer ribbon

A, transfer refers to the ink ribbon layer transfer to the percentage of the print medium, ink layer whether 100% fully heat transfer to the print media (plastic, paper,composite film and other material), transfer percent much ink.

B, adhesion refers to ink layer print to print media (plastic, paper, composite film and other material) on adhesion fastness and abrasion degree.

C, definition refers to the ink layer heat transfer to the printing medium, print out thetext clear degree, whether or not beautiful.

D, adaptive to thermal transfer Compatible epson printer ribbons can be in various media (plastic, paper,composite films and other materials) and the production environment (cooking,freezing etc.) in printing, the printing effect can meet the requirements of customers.

E, temperature of thermal transfer ink fax ribbon in the use of process temperature,thermal transfer ribbon characteristics of different causes in actual use temperature is not the same, in different temperature printing effect is also different, only the best printing results, temperature is the best.

Introduction and basic structure of thermal transfer ribbon

Thermal printing ribbon is printer supplies, is on the side of a base coated with wax, resin or mixed ink polyester or other high density film. In the absence of ink coated on one side with a lubricant to prevent wear and damage to the print head, a common shaft core ribbon of paper and plastic two, the main requirement is not deformation and not in print slide. Common with wax based, ash mixed base, resin based several. At present, our domestic, use TEC printer ribbons are common date code Tandai, infusion bag ribbon, washing cloth, special resin ribbon cable with ribbon, barcode ribbon, wax - ribbons, mixed base - ribbon, ribbon and other kinds of resin matrix - type. Different materials and varieties of ribbon / ribbon for printing materials and printers have different applicable in the ribbon / thermal transfer Nylon ribbon roll technology, printer performance is the primary.
