My screen says that the paper compartment needs to be closed even though it is closed. How can i fix this if the sensor is not visible?

[@evgeny500]

Thank you. This damn beeping was killing me!

[@zacharymeyers]

Wow how helpful if it says the cover is open try closing it. Maybe some troubleshooting for if it is closed and does not register that it is closed.

The cutting error on the tsp100, I unplugged the printer and restarted the computer it was connected to. Once the computer was back on I plugged it back in and the error was cleared.

I install the Star TPS100 thermal printer on the network I install it on a computer on the network and it works normally, when I try to install it on another computer, when I search the network it goes offline. If I try to install it via an app on my Android smartphone with the Star app, when I search for it on the network, it goes offline. Could you help me with the solution? Thanks

[@brianchan5947]

Can I use non thermal papers on printers that prints on thermal papers such as the star micronics tsp654iibi-24?

[@StarMicronicsPOS]

Hi Brian, thanks for asking! No, nothing will print if it is not thermal paper.

[@astathepooch]

I have the star TSP100ii futurePRNT - at the end of each receipt there is a small piece of paper that says “Have a great day :)” is there anyway to stop printing this? The small pieces of paper get stuck in the printer and jam it up.

How can i fix my Rongta RP328 cutter problem and i cant close the paper holder

[@vincentgc1]

Bruh the problem i had is that i couldn't open the printer, tried finding the error for hours, googled, asked ai, even went through the ENTIRE manual and nowhere does it say wtf to do once it's locked and can't be opened. Thanks for getting me fired from my job.

[@danny43pineda]

Same. Makes it look like I broke it smh

[@DS-182]

Dude, just turn it off hold down the paper feed button, and while holding down paper feed switch turn it back on, it will print out a "self-test" if all the doors for the paper and ink cartridges are correct, then press the paper feed button again for the second "self-test" page after that try ringing in and order if that doesn't work restart the POS terminal and check the POS terminal connection as well, then try to ring in another ticket... if it still doesn't work, you may have a bad cable or the printer has circuit board has failed and needs servive... you act like you are giving all the possible troubleshooting answers, but one answer that can fix this in 30 seconds and may lead people to believe the need to make a service call where you say you had to refurbish it when that's all you did

[@DavidLopez-op4zb]

those are common errors and easy to solve, What I never understand is why printer just stop communicating with Computer. You have to access printer properties to change usb port or simply turn "Use offline printer" check off. Why is that happening?

[@StarMicronicsPOS]

Hi David, and thank you for your inquiry. This may be because of several reasons: Windows print queue, updates or device manager, Windows ports conflicts, old printer firmware, printer's driver bi-directional communication set to "off". Please contact Star Technical Support for assistance in addressing this issue and someone will get right back to you: starmicronics.com/support-tickets/ Thanks again for reaching out and please don't hesitate to do so in the future.

What about power light and error light blink rapidly at same time (blink together)?

[@StarMicronicsPOS]

Hi Joel, if the printer is Ethernet then it probably either has no IP address or is not detecting the Ethernet cable. To give you some more information, we would need your printer model information and a printed self-test. Thank you!
