ZEBRA BARCODE PRINTER SUPPORT
Zebra 105SL Warning Ribbon In Error | How to Fix It
The Zebra 105SL warning ribbon in error usually appears when the printer detects ribbon while configured for direct thermal printing mode.
Most Common Causes
- Printer configured for Direct Thermal instead of Thermal Transfer.
- Ribbon installed when the printer is set for no ribbon.
- Ribbon sensor contamination.
- Incorrect media settings.
- Possible logic board issue.
How to Fix the Error
- Open the printer setup settings.
- Change print mode to Thermal Transfer if using ribbon.
- Remove ribbon if using Direct Thermal labels.
- Clean the ribbon sensor area.
- Run media and ribbon calibration.
When Professional Repair May Be Needed
If the warning remains after correcting the print mode and cleaning the printer, the ribbon sensor or logic board may require repair or replacement.
