Step-By-Step Instructions to clear ribbon errors on the Zebra ZT231
Here are some things you can try if you’re having ribbon errors with your Zebra ZT231 printer:
Check the ribbon: Make sure the ribbon is loaded correctly and aligned with the print head. The ribbon should track all the way back, near the printer’s firewall.
Clean the ribbon cartridge: You can try cleaning the ribbon cartridge chip with an alcohol-moistened swab.
Clean the ribbon sensor: Check the ribbon sensor for proper operation and clean it if needed.
Calibrate the printer: You can try manually calibrating the ribbon and media sensors.
Check the printhead and platen roller: Make sure the printhead and platen roller are installed correctly.
Check the print darkness and speed: If the darkness is set too high, the label image may print unclearly. You can try manually adjusting the darkness or print speed settings.
Check the ribbon type: Make sure the correct ribbon type is selected in your printing preferences.
