What should I do if the TTO high-speed coding ribbon gets stuck during use?

The lagging of TTO (Thermal Transfer Overprint) high-speed coding carbon tape during use may be caused by various factors. Here are some recommended steps to solve the lagging problem:

1、 Check the installation and path of the carbon ribbon

Confirm that the carbon ribbon is installed correctly:

Ensure that the carbon ribbon is correctly installed on the carbon ribbon shaft and recycling shaft.

Check if the carbon ribbon path is correct, without deviation or jamming.

Adjust the tension of the carbon ribbon:

If the tension of the carbon ribbon is too tight or too loose, it may cause jamming. Adjust the carbon ribbon tension to the appropriate level according to the printer's instructions.

2、 Clean printer components

Clean the print head and rollers:

Clean the print head and rollers with industrial alcohol and cotton to remove dust and impurities.

Ensure that the print head and roller surfaces are clean and smooth for the carbon ribbon to pass smoothly.

Check and clean the sensor:

The sensor may fail due to dust or dirt, causing the carbon ribbon to jam. Clean the surface of the sensor with alcohol to ensure its proper functioning.

3、 Check printer settings and parameters

Adjust printing speed:

If the printing speed is too fast, it may cause the carbon ribbon to be unable to be recycled or moved in a timely manner. Reduce the printing speed appropriately and observe if the problem is resolved.

Check printing density:

Excessive printing density may cause excessive wear or blockage of the carbon ribbon. Adjust the printing density according to actual needs.

4、 Check the quality of the carbon ribbon

Check if the carbon ribbon is damaged:

Is there any scratch, wrinkle or fracture on the surface of the carbon ribbon.

Is there any bubble or uneven coating inside the carbon ribbon.

Replace carbon ribbon:

If the quality of the carbon ribbon is poor or approaching its service life, consider replacing it with a new one.

5、 Other possible reasons and solutions

Printer firmware upgrade:

Check if there are available firmware upgrades for the printer to fix any potential software issues.

Contact technical support:

If none of the above steps can solve the problem, it is recommended to contact the technical support team of the printer manufacturer for assistance.

In summary, solving the problem of TTO high-speed coding carbon tape jamming requires investigation and handling from multiple aspects. By carefully inspecting the installation of the ribbon, cleaning printer components, adjusting printer settings and parameters, checking ribbon quality, and considering other possible causes and solutions, the root cause of the stuttering problem can usually be identified and resolved.
