What do I do if my printer isn't printing tickets?
The most common causes of printers not functioning are due to some kind of power issue or paper jam.
Always start by:
2. Verifying paper is installed and feeding properly
3. Securing cables - power cables and ethernet cables
4. Reseating cables (reseating simply means to unplug or remove and then to plug back in)
Follow the steps below:
1. Try restarting the printer.
Locate the power switch, turn it off & on.
2. Verify the printer is turned on.
The power button will be pushed in on the right-hand side and a green light on the bottom center of the printer will indicate the power is on.
Note: Be sure the power cord connection to the printer is tightly connected.
It is common for the power cord to become disconnected from the power brick in the middle of the cord. Make sure the cord is not only fully plugged into the outlet, but that it is also tightly connected to the power brick.
