Zebra ZT510 - Ribbon Out Error Repair Tutorial

[@raypalomarez]

What if you don’t have a ribbon, uses thermal paper. What will cause ribbon error?

[@JohnDFRott]

You need to be in direct transfer print mode, instead of thermal transfer print mode.

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.

Thing has been horrific right out of the box. Nothing works.

Ok, did all that it still thinks the ribbon is out. There is no amount of turning off and back on or calibration that is fixing this issue.

1) Are you sure that the printer is set to thermal transfer instead of direct transfer and 2) are you sure that you have the ribbon following the correct path through the printer?
