So I got a ticket in from a user today about a zebra s4m that was printing "wonky" as they put it so I went and had a look. Turns out when this printer is powered on it spits out 3 labels and then the screen informs you that the head is open (which it is not) and it is out of media (it still has a full roll).
I've tried calibrations but to no avail. It simply refuses to see the labels.
TL;DR version:
- Zebra S4M
- Setup for direct thermal transfer (no ribbon)
- Set to detect gap notch for label detection.
Keeps claiming the head is open and that the media has run out.
Any and all help on this would be greatly appreciated.
