Hello. My printer has stopped grabbing the image Iâm looking to scan. I let it warm up and made sure to clean any dust build up. Not sure what else I can do on my own but I need a working thermal printer and I would love to not have to buy a new one! Only about two years old btw.
Hi Iâm having an issue with my printer. It only prints solid black about halfway an then turns on the error message. Iâve cleaned it an am using a standard white printer page with simple design that doesnât have shading. Also factory reset it but it only does the same solid black every time Iâve tried everything

I am having the same problem as Kristie Lee half the stencil sheet is missing the design I cleaned the machine as the same area prehand was printing as a huge purple strip now where it was prints nothing?
I bought the transfer machine a few months ago and finally tried using it. Well I used it wrong. I pulled the white paper out and out the yellow side up and blue side down. Needless to say it got Stuck do to the ink/carbon paper was upside down in the machine. I put the paper in right and after about 3 times it started to print pieces of the stencil.
Please help đ
