Star Micronics mC-Label3 not printing: check possible causes
Start by checking the paper exit. If it is clear or removing the label does not resume printing, check the media settings and run a self-print.
When the next label does not print
- A printed label is still at the exit. The factory linerless setting enables Hold Print. The next label waits until you remove the printed label. Clear the exit before sending the job again. Media and Hold Print settings
- The printer reports a paper error with a roll loaded. Check that the roll is on the guide shaft and that the media setting matches the roll. Use die-cut stock with gaps of 23 mm or less. A black mark of 9 mm or longer can trigger an error with the default settings. Check the mark length setting and sensor position. Paper error FAQ · Roll loading diagrams
