I’m having trouble printing to my label printer – what should I do?
Troubles with your label printer can typically be resolved by following a few simple steps.
First, make sure your printer is selected and that printing is enabled in the Close Check-in dialogue box:
- Start a check -in session
- Select the Station Options gears in the upper right hand corner of your running template/program
- Under the Printing section make sure the Enable Printing checkbox is selected and that your locally connected label printer is chosen
- Select the green Print Test button to test label printing
If your printer still doesn’t work:
- Check to see if there is a label caught in the roller or printhead
- Ensure that labels are loaded properly
(see the video links for reloading Dymo and Brother labels – “How to reload labels in a Dymo printer”, “Brother QL-800 Setup“ - Confirm that the label quantity is not set to “0” on the check in screen
- Unplug the power cord, wait a few seconds and plug it back in. You may also need to close check-in and restart the computer if your printer is still not recognized.
