Zebra Printer Repair

Has your printer stopped working? 

At A1 Solutions we specialise in Zebra Printer Repair throughout Ireland. We have manufacturer trained and accredited engineers to repair thermal transfer printers including Zebra, Datamax, Sato, Toshiba TEC to name a few.

Whether your thermal printer just needs a replacement platen roller or printhead or has completely stopped working our engineer will have your printer up and running again in no time.

We carry out the repairs on site at your premises to help reduce the downtime to your business. You can also bring your printer to our premises to have it looked at by one of our engineers.

Below are some commonly reported faults which are very easy to fix:

  • Blocked media sensor – this is a result of labels or ribbons covering the sensors needed to detect the media being printed on. Always check your sensors are clear.
  • Incorrect print settings – is your printer set to thermal transfer when you are trying to print on a direct thermal label? If so this will give you a “ribbon out” error. Depending on what way your printer is set up this can either be resolved through the front panel of your printer or directly through your software ie. Bartender.
  • Media loaded incorrectly – are your labels and ribbons loaded through the correct path. If your labels and ribbons aren’t fed through the correct paths your labels will not print.
  • Are you printing to the correct printer? This fault can happen if you have multiple printers on site. Double check you are sending your print command to the correct printer.
  • My print is too light – try increasing the darkness on your printer settings or through your software.
  • No power – is your printer plugged in and turned on? Is the USB or ethernet cable plugged in?
  • My label is printing half way down the label – this can happen in older models of printers which don’t have an automatic calibration. Try doing a manual calibration of your printer – here is a video from Zebra on how to manually calibrate a ZT230 printer:

All of the above are some quick fixes that you can try if you want to eliminate some possible errors.
