Zebra ZP 505: Why won't my usb cord read?

Thu, 09 Jan 2020 18:00:51 -0700

I have gotten all of my software to load. When it gets to the set up and tries to read the usb it just keeps searching. I have bought 2 brand new (off amazon-if that matters) usb cords and it still will not read. Any suggestions? I have the whole machine torn apart right now and it looks as though the usb plug in is alone. Just pondering if this has happened to anyone else?

The red light stays on as solid and it won’t print unless you hold the top down. Can this be fixed?

Zebra LP-2824: TLP-2824 wont stop feeding blank labels

Thu, 12 Apr 2018 05:36:29 -0700

I have a TLP-2824 printer by Zebra

When powered on, the printer will not stop feeding blank labels. The only way to get it to stop is to shut off the power. I have tried doing a calibration by holding down the feed button while turning the power on, the printer will go thru the calibration steps, and the continuous feeding of the labels continues. Pressing the feed button will also cause the printer to continuous feed labels. Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this?

Zebra LP-2824: Printing blank labels in the middle of a print job?

Tue, 31 Oct 2017 17:54:33 -0700

When printing 2x2.25 labels, our printer will randomly spit out blank labels in between printed ones. It's becoming both wasteful and irritating. My theory is that the printer is printing out a morse code message and that it's trying to tell us something. Any ideas?
