You are a LIFESAVER thank you so much

[@josephkreifelsii6596]

Thanks. I kept getting ribbon out, this actually solved it.

[@felipeos100]

Joseph Kreifels II How long did the calibration take?

[@josephkreifelsii6596]

Sorry, I do not remember. I doubt it was more than 5 minutes.

[@zeb335]

Very useful. I solved my same problem by this video. Thanks

[@cashewABCD]

Recalibrate. Slide the ribbon away from the front sensor. Press pause. Front sensor is the ribbon sensor. Rear sensor is the media sensor. In my case we had to slide the media sensor toward the center of the able. Both the LED and the sensor with the philips screw above.

How long is the calibration?

[@bartkowPL]

Mcucios gracjas from Poland 😀

[@CessaYudha]

After i changed the head print, and do this calbrated, still not solved

[@neeleshpai]

The only complaint I've with Zebra is that it takes too much of spins to calibrate a media which means wastage of media ribbon

[@anggorowahyu4137]

how to, if using continous media?

[@billji365]

How do you get the printer to stop calibrating after 2 to 3 labels mine sends out about 20 or so then is finished calibrating and that us extremely wasteful.

[@cashewABCD]

Change Power Up from calibrate to quick calibrate and media lever close to quick calibrate. You can also set it to no movement.

[@Navyman2004]

How long does it take to calibrate... been sitting here for like 30+ mins.

[@lasciviouspaine]

not 30 mins

[@barcodelabels6098]

is any kind of printing on the release affects the label printing or sensing of labels

[@jimmyespinoza2839]

muchas gracias me fue muy útil

[@ZebraTechnologiesGlobal]

Hola gracias por tu comentario ¡Nos alegra que te guste el video!

[@rajankhurana21]

During output if I have to print 1000 labels..currently I have to roll manually for printed labels ..is there any option to roll the printed automatically without manual efforts

[@mr.m12345]

I don't know if this will help you at this point, but if you look on amazon for "label rewinder" they have a device that does this.

[@munirahmed1129]

How could I replace head

[@sizzlechooch]

I'm new to all these label printers. But I thought with this particular model, or with any "direct" thermal printer, that you don't need to use a/the ribbon.

[@gersonsanchez3840]

This printer takes a TT label or a DT label so it does both.

Is there any way I can get a legal copy of this video? I would like to have it on my intranet for users to access at anytime (they do not have internet access) so they can see how to load paper. It seems the paper/ribbon only runs out at 4:00AM and they always call.... "the printer isn't working" after they attempted to load media!

[@ZebraTechnologiesGlobal]

Hi Gregg, thank you for your question. We would recommend reaching out to your Zebra account manager to receive the legal version of this video. They should be able to provide you with that or other materials that could help to solve that problem for you. Thanks!

[@thucuoi8014]

what if I kept getting ribbon in?

[@felipeos100]

How long is this process? Is it normal to take several minutes?

[@ZebraTechnologiesGlobal]

Hi Felipe, the calibration itself shouldn't take several minutes. Although it could take a minute or two to complete the process, there are a number of factors that could influence the process including the speed at which you are printing and how long the labels are. If you are willing to share the country you live in, we can direct you to the proper technical support number you can call for more information.

[@felipeos100]

Zebra Technologies Hi, I'm in Chile. In fact, the calibration was short, I misinterpreted the translation of the machine. It is possible that the calibration changes something in the software? After the calibration, I am no longer printing anything sent from the pc

[@ZebraTechnologiesGlobal]

Hi Felipe, we ask that customers contact our technical support number for specific questions regarding their products. The link to that information be found here: www.zebra.com/us/en/about-zebra/contact-zebra/contact-tech-support.html.

[@jojigeorge5880]

[@mohamedabdelhadi2809]

I want know why every time when i power on the Zebra ZT230 Printer 230 it take about 2 paper during the Initialization

[@heddajenn]

I believe it is detecting the label size.

[@HockeyRiveNord]

You can turn it off Tools > Power Up Action (and Head Close Action)

[@lasciviouspaine]

mine can’t keep the correct label size and there’s no home button just Network and Printer; Network>Main Menu links back to Network. nothing in the manual about how to fix this

I’ve been wanting to get a label printer for my small business for the longest time and finally pulled the trigger. I’m glad I did ! This machine is great kzbin.infoUgkxw55tQTywUAAOsbrlwxONZULry77sFF1Q and the blue/green color matches the rest of the accents in my office. My favorite part is how small the footprint is. It’s less than 1/4 the size of my regular printer.Set up was fairly easy. Seller will email you a link with video instructions Which I found to be more helpful than the written instructions. I use a Mac and had no issues. They even included an adaptor for USB to USB-c which is great because I’m always losing mine! I had a few issues getting the labels to print properly and wasted quite a few sheets. You need to play around with the settings to get everything adjusted just right. If you have the wrong settings, it’ll crop off the edges or feed through blank labels. These aren’t issues with the machine though, just user error.
