Whether in our daily life or in industrial manufacturing, barcode printers have very good applications. It can be used to print product label information, print warning labels, print certificates of compliance and so on. In the process of using the machine will certainly encounter some problems, one of the common is in the label printing process suddenly can not automatically rewind the ribbon, encounter this situation, what is going on? How do we usually solve?

We first come to understand the working mode of the barcode printer, basically thermal mode and thermal transfer mode two. As we all know, thermal mode printing labels do not need a ribbon, it can be printed directly with thermal paper; and thermal transfer mode requires a ribbon, different label paper needs a different ribbon, so when we print different types of labels, the need to constantly replace the ribbon and label paper, you will find that the ribbon spool suddenly does not rotate, because of this, the printer can not be recycled to those who run out of ribbon.

When you keep replacing the label paper and ribbon, the printer mode may still be in the use of thermal mode for printing, suddenly you switch to coated paper and ribbon for printing, the mode is still thermal mode and did not switch to the thermal transfer mode, so the ribbon recovery spool will not be automatically recycled in the printing of the used ribbon.

At this time, we just need to open the driver file of the barcode printer, and change the mode of the barcode printer from thermal mode to thermal transfer mode.

In addition to modifying the mode of the bar code printer, there is also a possibility that the machine itself is not the correct installation of the ribbon. This is very simple. You can either reinstall the ribbon or fix the problem by restoring the factory settings of the barcode printer.
