Zebra Stripe S600 Thermal Label Printer Questions & Answers
I want to change the
Thermal printers don't use ribbons or ink. They transfer images/text with heat on to special thermal paper.
Zebra s600
The factory default setting for the S600 is thermal transfer (ribbon). depending on your OS there is a command that can be echoed to the printer to change the setting to direct transfer (non ribbon). It sounds like your printer thinks is should use a ribbon and in fact you are not using a ribbon. Here is the procedure I use to get the ribbon motor to turn on:
1. start with the printer turned off.
2. open the printhead, retract the ribbon completely onto the supply spool. leave the printhead open.
3. Press and hold the top three buttons (PAUSE, FEED and CANCEL) while turning on the printer. When the botom couple lights turn off release the buttons.
4. When you are left with the power light on and the printhead light blinking reinstall the ribbon and close the printhead.
The printer will autoclaibrate and run a sensor test.
Once complete the take up motor should have turned on and you should be able to use thermal transfer labels and a ribbon.
How do i calibrate a S600 printer?
Not sure what you mean by "calibrate". Most printers don't need to be calibrated. Perhaps if you actually describe the problem you're having we could help you fix it.
