There may be many reasons for the particularly loud noise of bar code printers. The following are some common reasons and corresponding solutions:
First, mechanical reasons
1. Carbon belt pulley mounting reverse:
Reason: In the printing process, if the carbon tape reel is installed backwards, it may cause extra resistance when the printer is running, which makes a larger noise.
Solution: Reinstall the carbon tape reel correctly, making sure to follow the instructions on the manual or printer.
2. Internal hardware wear:
Reason: After a long time of use, the gear, bearing and other components inside the bar code printer may wear, resulting in uneven operation and noise.
Solution: Check the internal hardware of the printer and repair or replace the worn part.
3. Memory not cleared:
Cause: Sometimes the memory of the barcode printer is not cleared, which may cause the printer to produce a stall or anomaly when processing data, thus making noise.
Solution: Clear the memory of the barcode printer, which can be operated through the printer's menu or software tools.
Second, the reason for consumables
1. Poor quality carbon tape or label paper:
Reason: Low quality carbon tape or label paper may produce uneven friction when used, causing the printer to make noise during the printing process.
Solution: Replace the carbon tape or label paper with better quality, and choose products with good brand reputation and reliable quality.
Third, reasons for printing content
1. Print content color block is too large or print horizontal line:
Reason: When the printing content contains a large area of color blocks or continuous horizontal lines, the printer needs more intensive printing operations, which may increase the burden of the printer and produce noise.
Solution: Reduce the printing density of the barcode machine, which can be achieved by adjusting the printing Settings of the printer.
Fourth, other factors
1. Printer aging:
The reason: over time, the components inside the printer will gradually age, resulting in decreased performance and possible noise.
Solution: If the printer is seriously aging and can not solve the noise problem through maintenance, it is recommended to consider replacing the printer.
2. Working environment:
Reason: The printer's operating environment can also affect its noise level. For example, using a printer in a dusty or overheated environment may increase its noise.
Solution: Keep the printer working environment clean and suitable temperature and humidity conditions.
In summary, the reason why the bar code printer is particularly noisy may involve many aspects such as machinery, consumables, printing content and the working environment. Taking appropriate solutions for different reasons can effectively reduce the noise level of the printer. If the above methods cannot solve the problem, it is recommended to contact the printer manufacturer or professional maintenance personnel to check and repair.
