Paused Checkin Printers | 128

Have you ever noticed that a checkin printer may be paused and you have wondered how to un-pause the checkin printer?

In this quick Pro-Tip, we will briefly go over some of the functions of pausing/unpausing your printers.

  • Pause
    • The printer is paused. Print, label feed (advance), and other labels are suspended until the pause state is removed. You can un-pause the printer by pressing the Pause button.
    • On the ZD420 Model – a Pause Light will be illuminated in Yellow at the top of the panel.
    • On the 5004 Model – the screen will say [ Printer Paused ]
  • Cancel
    • Only functional when the printer is in the Pause state.
    • Pressing the Cancel button causes the printer to cancel printing the next label in the print que.
    • Pressing and holding for two seconds cancels printing of ALL pending labels not yet printed
